At this size, you do not. The rider is pulled into the wave by a jetski, and then released. There is about a 20 foot tide there and when small, 8-12 ft, is very rideable some where along the coast depending on wind (off shore wind is best) and tide level (mid to low tide is generally best) tubes galore if you know what you are doing. The basic requirements are 1. being able to paddle for several hours to stay in the line up, and 2. being able to hold your breath for at least a minute or so on short notice.how do you get out away from the beach to the place where you start surfing with waves like that coming in?
