That was gnarly! Kudos to the boat operator. He totally handles it. On the throttle as soon as comes over the top of the wave at 2:00 and sees what's up. Gets up on step and out far enough and then he eases off the gas to go over the top of the clean-up wave just as smooth and easy as can be. His passengers could have been sipping beer out of pint glasses and never spilled a drop through the whole ordeal!

There's a few guys I see posting photos of themselves out at waimea and himalayas and they are not good surfers. They can paddle well, are in good shape and can pop up well, but they struggle to do cutbacks in smaller surf. They have their vests and they paddle out there on their own. Do they belong out there? I don't know.

We live in an age where anyone can video everything, in high quality, with the greatest of ease, for very little money. It's all about getting that footy.
