But I also remember a couple of gnarly moments as a kid, just getting in way over my head on days that I shouldn&#8217;t have been in the water. I got rescued a bunch of times, by lifeguards and other surfers, and each time I thought I was going to drown. I&#8217;d go home and cower for a day or two, then come back and try again.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>For the rest of the AMA, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/surfing\/comments\/236tat\/i_am_matt_warshaw_biggest_surfnerd_on_the_planet\/\">click the link<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>[Link: <\/strong><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/surfing\/comments\/236tat\/i_am_matt_warshaw_biggest_surfnerd_on_the_planet\/\">Reddit Surfing<\/a><\/strong><strong>]<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ever wanted to ask former Surfer Magazine editor and Encyclopedia of Surfing author and &#8220;biggest surf nerd on the planet&#8221; Matt Warshaw a question?
