Getting dropped in on is as much a part of surfing as, well, actually surfing a wave. Most of us who’ve paddled out on more than just soft-tops know that if you surf, you’re going to get stuffed at least once every few sessions – sometimes more if we’re on a run of bad luck. Well the above clip demonstrates one way to handle a drop in. “One popular method to handle a drop in is to grab the nose of an offender’s board,” wrote the folks at Global Zoo, “and attempt to make them lose balance and fall – as expertly demonstrated in the first clip!” So, have you ever tried handling a drop in like this? The likelihood of repercussion from the offending person dropping in is certainly high.
