The moral of THIS story is twofold; never set sail with a captain you don’t trust (ask the crew of the Maersk about that one!), and ALWAYS WEAR YOUR LIFE JACKET! We understand than when you are relaxing, you might not need a vest, but is there any logic in not wearing one in THESE waves?!? Some statistics suggest that at least 80% of recreational boating fatalities are people who are not wearing one, and it doesn’t take a big leap of faith to figure out the likelihood of drawing is far higher without one.
In Tahiti, there is a little village called Teahupo’o (a name that translates roughly to “head chopper”) that is famous for it’s huge surf break. This break not only draws tons of surfers, but also it a place boats congregate and take passenger for wild rides. It has sadly taken the lives of many surfers, and these folks were lucky to escape a similar fate! They may have been having fun, right up until THIS happened!

Exceptional blog post, you have done really interesting and worth reading post. Because of posts like this I surf the internet and when I found you, the time I felt I was wasting, just turned my thoughts around and now I am thinking I invested my time in something really interesting. 8/31/2016 11:18:53 am
Thanks for your very informational post. I've always been scared of waves or surfs. Last month my friends asked me to join their surfing in a local beach here in Miami. I rejected them at first but then they persuaded me to join them. They tried to teach me but every time there is a huge surf coming near me, I panic. Maybe I will forever be a frustrated surfer! 9/1/2016 09:36:58 am
