Surfing v. Climbing... Complimentary Pursuits?

I'm surprised he didn't have an inflatable vest under the wetsuit; at least he didn't mention it.

After filming I paddled out winded and tired and caught a couple waves. My third wave was a good sized one that I didn't make it around the corner and got seriously rolled. I was exhausted and when I felt the second wave go over me it was time to use the V2.1 and get the hell out of there. However when I fell it pulled the chord from my shoulder and I couldn't find the rip cord. After struggling and not finding it, because it was loose and somewhere behind my back, I was getting close to blacking out and the rest of that sh#t that goes on down there. I grabbed my Spare Air cleared the chamber and took 4 breaths and was able to keep calm. I came to the surface just as another wave hit me. I wasn't really able to get much of a breath on the surface and then got drilled again. I used my spare air through this again, taking 4 more breaths. I ended up going through the rocks. Vince Broglio grabbed me in the lagoon and I was caughing up water and was very very dizzy. Super Heavy experience. Spare Air's are suppose to have about 15 breaths, but I was taking such deap ones I went though the can in about 8 breaths.
