This is an excellent analogy sqrl...while I've never surfed, I can certainly clearly imagine what it is your talking about. I once vacationed in Hawaii, we went to a beach on i think it was Maui island called "slaughter house beach" because the waves there were so massive ppl got slaughtered by them all the time, I did go in the water and swam out to where the waves were at their most massive and got smashed by one of these waves, it was horrifying! (My mother actually lost her bikini bottom...it got ripped right off her by the wave!) Anyway, it was only when I surrendered to the crush of the waves and allowed it to naturally bring me back to the surface and ultimately back to the safety of the shore line that I was able to survive it. I went with the flow and the flow delivered me. Simply divine. TgrsPurr.
