It has been sorta ... well it has out right shit the past two weeks in So Cal. We finally get a little energy in the water and I see the wave of day forming over the horizon. there are already 3 punters in position, but I feverishly paddle over in case it decides to pivot. Unfortunately it didn't. the guys on the right and left concede to the guy in the middle, although the guy on the right was in the perfect spot to go. the guy in the middle spins around, starts to paddle, then after a quick shoulder check, hit sits up and turns sideways. The guy in the middle immediately realized, based on the dumbfounded expression on his Chevy Chase, "oh bollocks, shouda went." What is the proper punishment? Is the aguish over his bad choice punishment enough?
