eskimo roll
many thanks... (youre not by any chance related to Nick Clinch, climber?)
Im digging for evidence, and will come back if I find any...

Not that /I/ make a habit of it, but capsizing deliberately and rolling up in the wake of a wave is a recognised method in modern boats. I know it's a valid tactic because my friendly neighbourhood coach (a very experienced sea, river and surf paddler) has mentioned it as one when we've been talking about negotiating surf in sea boats to get either in or out of surf beaches. But this is the sort of stuff that's a bit Grown Up for me! ICBW, but I think the "where" is a wave big enough to have a good chance of taking you out if you try and go through/over it, I guess something with looping potential. Not tried it myself, I'm told that you need to put a roll in on one side rather than the other to get a proper boost from the wave. Sorry not to be more help. I imagine it's at the sort of level where a hoow-to on a web page is pretty much moot, so I'd talk directly with advanced sea paddlers who have to cope with big surf for more details.
