Rip currents, how to use them.


In heavy larger surf rips are are used to get out BUT they can also sweep your out to sea if you're not careful, make sure once you get near to where you want to go, paddle across just behind the breaking waves.
do not try to paddle back against a rip, if you feel out of your comfort zone paddle across and lay on the board and get the next wave in to shore.   if you surf near a rip they can be very handy as it takes you less time to get back out. note: don't ever get off your board in a rip.
