I took a rouge wave in the chest tonight - the wave was cresting perfectly, so when it hit me it was just collapsing and it felt like someone threw a 100 pound sack of potatoes at me- I got thrown back and went under, only to have my plugbag get wedged under a rock or something- I didnt realize this and couldnt get up. As each wave came along i had to hold my breath as my plugbag was holding me down and i was totally submerged. Finally after the 5th wave i realized what was going on and scooted forward to 'unwedge' my bag from the rock. They say you can drown in under a foot of water, and believe me, its true. Thinking back on this, if I hadnt held my breath and hyperventilated like someone about to die, i probably would have

I say thank you aquaskinz because if I was not wearing my evoII my waders would have filled up like a waterballon.

Glad t hear your ok! This is a good reminder of how dangerous our sport really is, everyone needs to pay very close attention when wading. Again glad to hear your ok!

i didnt loose one plug- now if I had my plugs in my Surfcaster bag, they would have all dumped out. gotta love that huge velcro flap.
