	I have a very reliable river roll. I haven't swam while running the river in a long time. My problem, however, is that I sometimes find myself surfing a great wave for an extended period of time. My heart is racing and I'm breathing heavy from surfing, spinning, etc... When I do get off the wave/hole its usually from being trashed, flipped vertially and left in an awkward rolling position. If I miss my first attempt I get so desperate for air that I swim. This has happened three times now, twice on the Ottawa and once on the Lower G. Any ideas on how to correct this problem? I guess I shouldn't be such a hole hog... Swimming in a pool every week might help too.
