Surf news roundup: Heavy surf. Marine rescues. Big wave injuries, and more.

from The Wipeout Weekly - Surf Podcast

Heavy surf, close calls, and real-world heroics in the lineup. In this surf news roundup, we cover a California surfer rescued after clinging to a lobster trap buoy, the chaotic boat capsizing straight through the Steamer Lane lineup (and the surfers who jumped into rescue mode), and the suspended search for two missing Santa Cruz surfers. We also look at Justine Dupont's serious injury at a big wave event, USA Surfing's new commissioner ahead of the LA Olympics push, and a £10,000 film fund supporting women surf filmmakers.
