Links | < previous 1565 of 1565 Chris Ward Story #3,567 - Captain WardoThis past weekend, California was hit by a massive swell that caused mayhem at Mavricks, and giant surf up and down the Golden State. The Central Coast was firing, which has a few secret surf spots that are only accessible by boat. The Morro Bay Harbor, known for being treacherous in conditions like this, was being blasted by 20+ sets. Step in pro surfer, Chris Ward, his girlfriend, his 13 ft. sea pro boat and the AZHIAZIAM film crew. It was hide tide, and with the deeper  conditions, getting out through the harbor in seas of this size is "doable." So of course, Captain Wardo and crew headed out, even though they were told not to by Harbor Patrol; there were waves to be surfed.Fast-forward a few hours. Good waves were scored, video and photo clips went down and the crew decided to head in. By this time, the tide had dropped and the harbor was being closed out by 25 ft. + surf. Captain Wardo apparently has a method of getting in during conditions like this, which the Coast Guard doesn't even know about. Simply put, he rides in on the back of the last set wave. Piece of cake, right? Yeah, but not when your engine starts sputtering, so it was back out to sea for Wardo and crew. A recap of the situation; it's low tide, there are 20 ft. + waves breaking through the notorious harbor and the U.S.S. Wardo is having engine problems. In Wardo's life you call this a typical Saturday, but the US Coast Guard calls this a serious situation, so in a came a 47' rescue boat. I'll let the crew over at Wardo's main sponsor, ...LOST, who just got off the phone with him take it from here: They put Chris and his girl on the boat and tied up Ward's boat to the back of their 47 foot Coast Guard boat. The Coast Guard guys were all strapped in up top. Ward and his girl were not. The guys told them to hold on as tight as they can if anything happens, and if they fall off they would rescue them from the water. Kind of like a warning on an airplane you never think you'll have to heed. Up top Chris thought to himself that there is no way this thing is turning over. Then going into the harbor - low tide - pretty much every wave closing it out - the captain tried to ride in ON the wave - on the second wave of the set, even though the other officers were saying "third wave". Ward wondered why they didn't just ride the back of the wave in like he would have done and has done in the past. As it started to turn over, Ward grabbed his girlfriend tight and they held on - when upside down underwater - Ward couldn't hold onto the boat and got washed around probably 20 feet under while still holding onto his girl. They popped up next to the boat as it was just popping back up after the set. The jet ski guys were nearby as Chris was shouting to grab the girl onto the ski. Chris grabbed onto the sled, on back, and was prepared to let go if he slowed them down too much to get away from the next 15 foot set (knowing he could make it swimming, but his girl might not). I commented that that's probably the heaviest thing his girl has ever been through - he said "maybe the heaviest thing to happen at that harbor" (note he didn't even for a second consider that it was one of the heavier things that happened to him) Then in the same breath he started talking about how good the waves were at Big Rock "kind of like the one day when I was wearing the hood" and telling me how our video guys need to be more on top of things... and then his phone went dead.
