I was surfing once when it was supposed to be 4-6 feet, which is manageable for me, but then while I was out there, conditions quickly changed and I found myself next to waves that were 12-15 feet in height, which is a whole different story. I wanted to teleport myself to the shore immediately but of course I couldn’t do that. They say don’t surf where you wouldn’t swim, and that’s a good guideline, but just also keep in mind that conditions may change very quickly wherever you’re swimming, surfing, doing business, riding a bike, or parking a car. Don’t just think about what might happen next. Try to imagine what could come after that.
