When you surf Phil’s it is an extremely powerful retentive hole. When you are in the hole and it is stumbling you and flipping you, you don’t really know what is going on you just adjust your paddle to the spot that you feel is right. In the hole it feels like it is trying to rip your paddle free from you, you just have to hang on really tight. A strategy that I found was helpful is the Harry Potter roll, this is when you flip your paddle blade up and you hold your paddle blade out right in front of your chest and the water on the downstream side will catch the blade and flip you up. Surfing Phil’s is extremely fun and not very bad as long as you know what you’re doing and have the correct safety set up.
