Keep paddling thru the swell
See that a lot... raising the paddle over one's head while nosing thru the swells. It's a natural reaction, like you need to keep the paddle dry.
Best to dig into the water and keep paddling. You will punch thru the larger stuff that way as your body motion will be forward reaching for the next stroke.
GREAT Video!! Reminds me of lots of early am launches over the years.
