I am usually a fair-weather flyer and fair-weather sailor, but I have been in rough air and rough water; suffice it to say it can be a bit unnerving! I used to go out and sit on a cliff and watch a big wave called "Maverick" below me; today it is called "Mavericks" and you'll find surfers on it all the time. I don't live there anymore, but one pro-surfer had a bad day once, and I went out in a boat to help search for his body, (to no avail).
People usually have NO idea how powerful water is! When I was about 8 or 9 years old, I used to jump the swells in the ocean when we went swimming there. Once one caught me (broke over me) and rolled me on the sandy bottom, all the way to shore! I escaped with a few scratches and knew to hold my breath, but that was one wave I'll never forget!
As an adult, when I lived on the Coastside, I really enjoyed SCUBA and free diving, but I doubt I'd do it today! With global warming, sharks are coming into the kelp beds in Monterey; I saw pinnipeds often when I was diving there, they would come and check me out and move on, but now, I understand sharks are coming in much closer to shore now after bait-fish and probably even after the seals in Monterey, so I probably wouldn't dive there now, except perhaps mid-day. Sharks feed at dawn and dusk so besides some other precautions, it's best to stay out of their kitchen at those times..
I live in the mountains two states away now, so I must worry about bears and cougars now, but it's no problem, you just have to know how to act and how to avoid them. I do miss the ocean though, when I first moved here, I couldn't get used to the QUIET! I was so used to the ocean's roar! Now, I enjoy the quiet, except right now, we're having summer thunderstorms so it isn't always quiet!

Sailing in the ocean is terrifyingly beautiful.
It’s one of my biggest fears that I’m most curious about. Ocean makes you realize how insignificant and minor you are. I love it.

First one looks like someone just lifted up a wall like it was flat on the ground or something like a cutting board, wtf.

Imagine Jack Sparrow braving those kinda waves all alone in a small wooden boat in his journey to aqua de vida.
