“20 min later it was dark….that was one of -if not- thee most violent beatings I’ve ever had in my entire life”. Ian Walsh

When a fall on a historically GIANT day at Mavericks feels like being struck by lightning!

This wave may have given me the most electric beating I have ever had.

The initial impact from the wave on this fall is the closest thing to what I imagine it feels like getting struck by lightning.

An extremely VIOLENT surge of energy!
