Hughes gets Smacked Down!
"Slicksanddecks.com are happy to show that team rider Brad Hughes walked away (on a jetski) from a brutal two wave hold-down at The Right on October 16.
"Whilst being held under for just over 30 seconds, Brad frightfully revealed that he had given up and had thought that it was all over.
"The raw power of the wave held Brad's Hot Buttered bodyboard under the water, which prevented him from surfacing. Usually in big waves you can climb up your leash, as your board is normally above you, but in this rare instance the leash was preventing Brad reaching the surface. In struggling to remove his leash Brad used excessive energy, which meant that when the second wave hit, he had given up hope..." - Slicks and Decks.
Enjoy (the fact that Hughesy made it out alive)!
