After being smacked in the head by the lip when she was in the barrel, the Kauai native drove face first into the reef.

You just changed a part of me. For good. Thank you.
Beyond stoked indeed.
Head high, hollow surf will drive you to the bottom almost every time. Even if you don't hit on the first go-around in the lip, it picks you up, and tosses you again, only you've moved into shallower water, and will almost always bounce.
When it's double, even though it's still powerful, and will rag doll you, your chances of getting bounced are less, as the wave is breaking in deeper water.
