Remember this moment from the Troy Eckert episode?

And sure enough, the thing just like completely like cornered, had this like perfect ramp chip shot that was like came right.

It just came right to me. And and I turned around and I was I was so head down and focused I was like I'm going no matter what

and if someone's on the wave I'll just kick out like that was what was going on for me and I heard a

hoot and I caught the wave and hooting you in yeah no no no someone was catching the wave oh

shoot someone was trying to

call me off oh but it was distant and that's why i think i continue to paddle and um and i

freaking stood up on this wave and i got to the bottom and i did a little check over my left shoulder

and there was no one there perfect and. And so what happened was it's,

I actually posted Instagram clip of like three different angles of the wave video,

video and then the last video,

you can see the whole from the very takeoff and there's one guy that takes off

and basically just goes directly over the bars.

Like he just,

he just pearls basically on takeoff.

Imagine being the dude who had priority position on that wave, seeing how beautifully this

all unfolded for Troy, knowing that if only you had been better prepared, you'd be in

the barrel of your life. Well, good news. More waves are always on the way, and it's never too late to prepare

yourself. How might you ask? Wavekey.com. Brad Gerlack reached out to me as a podcast listener in

to share this program with me that he had developed over the last two decades, and that I could

practice at home on land so that I'd be able to maximize my surfing once I was in the water.
