Anybody else out there had the unfortunate pleasure of taking a gobfull of salt water down the wrong hole and into your lungs while surfing?..Im not sure if it's just me but it must of happened at least a dozen times to myself and it's quite frightening..Unable to to take in next to no air into your lungs while waves continue to crash over you..

Never have..Just go through the process of trying to stay calm and concentrate on slowly getting air back into my lungs,then i come good and forget about it..Agreed it is quite a nasty situation though
