If you thinking of kicking out in front of a tube then you need to be
in a area a wave is breaking.

A rouge can be a wall 100+ ft tall, you try to run down the face of a
wall at 45 you going to tube roll and be in a waching machine for quite
a while. Punching thru and over is your only hope.

You'd have to have a boat with good rudder control. But, I think it would be a safer thing
to do than trying to go straight up a huge wave. You'd just have to hang in there till the wave
wore itself out. A wave that big just can't be that wide for more than a mile or two. What
would that be if your surfing along at ten to fifteen knots? About fifteen minutes? Doable.

Good luck.
