I don't think that Minh broke his paddle. I think he was one of the lucky ones that forgot his paddle and a battery and turned arround before he started. Yep, when I saw Tony parallel to the shore about 10 inches outside the break point of an 8 foot swell, I was sure he was toast. Right until he popped up over that sucker. John sounded like me when I saw my first 25# Halibut (I think this is big... I think this is big... This is BIG!!!). He had me jealous for a few months. And Tony was as happy as a kid in a candy store out there slaying Cuda. Props to the guys that got tossed and made it out anyways. When I reached the beach unscathed, a sunbather asked "So what is the difference between you and them?" I answered " Lots of practice, or it could be that they did not wait for the surfers to say the set is over, go now".
