There is nothing fun about being caught on the inside, the typical thought process of ‘I’ll just go the first set’ is never a good one when you pull off the back and see the horizon stacked, that’s when the anxiety kicks into over drive as you scramble onto your board and paddle like a maniac hoping not be the guy that gets cleaned up.

This ain’t Mark’s first rodeo and certainly not his last, here’s a wave he’ll never forget – the 2012 mega swell in Fiji where he found himself in quite the predicament. Mark’s board about to be crushed by the wave of the swell after bailing:
