There are few things lamer, in my opinion, than the surfer that bails out in front of a wave that catches them inside. Don't get me wrong, there are times that you simply can't hang on and the board is ripped from your grasp...and I'm not so core that I disdain someone who'd ditch in double overhead or bigger surf who was in a bad position and wasn't endangering someone else...

But you have to hang on to the board...take your medicine...suffer the consequences if necessary.
