If you get knocked down in the surf, you wont have time to remove your waders. First, roll over belly down and pull your knees to your chest then extend your feet to the bottom and stand up. Lean well forward and walk to the beach. Remember the wave that knocks you down will roll onwards while the undertow will start back to sea. Prevention is the best answer. A large wave building will always be preceeded by an unusually heavy undertow. If you feel the tow getting stronger than usual start backing up.becuase a comber is coming.<br><br>George Van Zant<br><A HREF="http:// www.bigfishtackle.com/georgescorner.htm " target="_new">http:// www.bigfishtackle.com/georgescorner.htm </A><br>
