Sometimes you have to take the leap off the rocks ... the point of no return. You watch the sets, check out the currents and where the rocks are. At some point you have to decide to jump in .... or head back to the car.
A little over 30 years ago I jumped off these very rocks headed into the impact zone, got worked and the leg rope broke. Bugger. With no board it was a rough swim into land on the rocks, retrieve the board and access the damage. Luckily damage was minimal, and I was to surf another day.
