Dude! Risky business there. I was snorkeling in Hawaii with the proper gear and rough water/tides like that are a no go even when properly equipped. You a super lucky you didn't get all sorts of cut up on the coral. The scariest part is if a rip tide does start to pull you out to sea it's a battle WITH flippers. Barefoot you wouldn't stand a chance. Please be more careful next time.

I was just texting with Jen and she mentioned you went against the locals advice and did it anyway, lol. I do indeed feel pretty lucky! Could have definitely been a lot worse. I'll bring a buddy next time and def come properly prepared. Lesson learned brother!
