bat one of those waves folds over on them you'll think he was hit by a baseball

bat you're kidding there tons of water those monsters out there one brakes on

him and be ground under and pulled and ripped along a coral bottom for about 30 seconds those waves come in sets each

time he has to dive deep so it won't be sucked in and pulled under again plus he has to fight a shore break he could end

up with a broken back if he hits wrong oh he knew that why did he go out
