„That’s gotta be the best comment I’ve ever seen!“
Surfing a catamaran is probably the equivalent of drifting a school bus
More the size of it really, but yes, surfing a 14 meter yacht is like drifting a school bus - reckless, dangerous, (especially for the kids) and by the looks of it, a hell of a lot of fun. Kudos mad dog skipper, kudos.

@@vava5543 Un Loulou !
It’s nothing for a 20ft beach cat. But a boat and surf of this size is not for me
Spoken by someone who hasn't owned a big cruising cat. This was absolutely safe but DONT try that in a Keelboat. Ive sailed tri cat high perf cat big comfy cruising cat. That cat is fine for that entry.
11 years later and UA-cam finally recommends this and I don’t know why
So true
Haha , I know .. why ?? Funny
Yup
Do we have to wait just as long for the video of him skydiving into a volcano?

The most dangerous thing that you can have on a boat - is a schedule.
Should've been persecuted for endangering lives. Idiot news service isn't much better.
@@ThePaulv12 who’s lives exactly lol
@@mj6463 The crew
@@VanIsleNuckFan the crew? You mean him and maybe a wife or friend? Notice he said “we” decided it was worth the risk… he’s a good captain. Knows his boat, the waters, and made sure everyone else on the boat was (forgive me for this one) on board with his decision.
@@Tjspycorp Was a stupid decision, he got lucky. I would feel unsafe boating with you also. Not worth the risk. So they didn't have to "Inconvenience" themselves; the epitome of arrogance in the waters. Made for good tv though I guess. lol
The memory will be more valuable than the boat one day.
And the fact they filmed it, for everyone to see, until the end of time.
probably more than this boat in 7 years
Already is
We're outta beer fellas. It's now or never...

Really funny!
He obviously had at least one left

This is my favorite boat video of all time! I can only imagine looking back and seeing nothing but a wall of water! Total legends
Insurance company: “drinking beers before 9am huh?”
Lol, that was after he got into port.
Mother Nature: “Do you want to surf or sail?”
Skipper: “Yes.”
Wow ur funny
For sale: 14 meter catamaran, one careful owner.....
Ian : "hold my beer ..."
Well. That was certainly badass.
Nope, it was plain stupid. Disrespectfull to the forces of nature and the people that would have needed to rescue them when it would have gone wrong.
Disrespectful to the forces of nature haha you cant b serious?nature doesn't care allthough if it did it would give this dude mad props 😂👍
@@verofpv6152 What this dude did was pretty stupid.
@@ppapdddar6159 yeah he took a great risk and pulled it off not stupid, crazy maybe but not stupid and at the end of the day its his boat and his life maybe if he had a group of people on board or worse young children than yes very stupid but im unaware of those details.. but as for me as a surfer i ride waves twice the size of that so if i was onboard and we had capsized im confident in the water in those types of condtions and i would of been backing the captain all the way. And sometime in life you need to take risks to reep the rewarda or your life will become one boring shelted existence becouse of fear, you only live once so live life to the fullest and never look back.

That dude was about 5° away from disaster!
You got that right, his rudder was right out of the water at that point and all that saved him with the boats attitude when the wave first lifted it
@@darrengillesdarrengilles8336 His rudderS were not out of the water .

He almost sold his catamaran to his insurance company.
The reason he sail a catamaran is so he has a hull to float each one of his huge balls
LMAOO
😂
That joke is so shit.
@@sam_s_ jealous u didn’t come up with it?
Here’s your damn like, you earned it
Timing was perfect to catch that wave. Respect. Could have easily gone differently with angles and waterline points, but he held it. Breakfast beers indeed.
Hero! Only in Australia. Love it mate.
Sailing back for two days is not worth saving your life, yeaaa.. sure!
He got lucky, promoting danger in return
you will be sleeping in hospital bed for days, not just 2 days sail to Brisbane in your own private tent
@@TsarOfRuss agree with your comments BUT there are those who do and those who don't.
I would buy him a beer!
Just to add, 500 miles out to sea the ocean is not millpond smooth..in the right conditions he would be doing the same but with a drogue maybe...

to prove my point...........
@@pearlyshells2430 except out st sea the wave isn’t sucking up on a sandbar and no lea shore!!
No skipper who puts himself the crew or the boat in danger just to save time is a so called "hero"
@@epichourtime Yeah, it looked like it was going to nosedive. It's a big catamaran - 42' - and the wave he rode in on was huge! Pause the video at 0:47, and it looks like 12'-15' up the face.
This could have ended very badly for all of them. I think he was damn lucky. Skillful steering, but damn lucky as well!!
It's a twin hull. One side for him and the other for his balls.
Lol
It call catamaran
Called a catamaran lol
Following seas: exist
This skipper: LETS SURFFFFF!!!
I'm amazed at the videos of bar crossings into Aus and NZ rivers and estuaries. In the UK, many of our harbours are deep water and so are quite tame to approach. There are a few bars that can be a little tricky but nothing on the scale of this.
Cats have that amazing stability & with the cabin hull as a brace from submerging the vessel in those conditions he just needed to get his timing, superbly executed!!! Cheers for him.
He was inches from broadsiding with rudders nearly out of the water. That is one lucky skipper.
Pure luck, or arse...
Who got this randomly recommended on 2020?
Recommended.. but then I will watch a sailing vid now and then :)
@@Clickumentary Same. To more hidden gems in the 2021 feed! Cheers!
Idiot.
2024 here.
Hold my beer, imma surf this wave with my half a million dollar boat
We’ll never make it through the waves.
Captain; Hold my beer.
It's his fuckin boat, if he wants to do it, it's his decision. I've done things with my boat that are risky, combination of skill and luck made it OK, maybe one day the luck will run out, but what fun is life if you never take a single risk.
Until some poor fucker has to come save him.
*****
Calculated risks yes, but this just shows very poor seamanship. Coming from seaward you can never accuratly judge the character of surf until it's too late.
remember that next time you cross a street, remember some poor **** might have to come save your body or worse tell your poor family you died, don;t take risks stay indoors
Most are hired captains, the boats are owned by rich people.
What poor fucker? don't sign up to be a lifeguard or coastguard if you are not willing to rescue people?
I kayak fish in the gulf of mexico, and coming back in from waves like that SUCKS!! that is HARD to do, trust me! Once your vessel starts going sideways and that wave gets underneath you, TOAST! What a great piece of maneuvering, well done sir!
This is the most Aussie thing I’ve ever seen in my life!
What a wild ride! We're glad that everyone was okay!
Coast Guard to Captain:What are you doing?
Captain to Coast Guard: Just waiting for my set!
Amazing, good to watch!!
Good job skipper. That was amazing.
Nice ride.... like the cat surfing in Endless Summer, but he kept his boat perfectly straight.
That's why I love to sail Catamarans!!
Esse cara É BOM!!! - This guy IS MASTER!!!
"and i never have a beer at 9am" - Aussi!
Wonder how many his crew had?
What a badass chad!!! 👨✈️
Okay, you made it, congratulations but I wouldn't do that in the future.
11 лет это видео ждало меня на ютубе. Ииии дождалось !!
a bit like getting through xmas and new year
I don't think that O'l Boy would have made that in a mono hull. That Cat saved his ass.
Stability of a cat saved him
Hobie sailers are like "Meh..."
Hobies have a lot more speed going in and can keep up with surf. Plus when you screw up it is usually more embarrassing, than expensive. Getting out is usually the tricky part, and yes I have owned a 14, 16, 17 and even a tiger 18.
@@davidkennedy3050 lol no doubt! That looked tame on camera but I'd be sweating bullets surfing a boat that heavy
"Thats gotta be the best sailor ive ever seen" The Wave: "So it would seem"
lots of experience, large cajones, and a bunch of luck/good fortune. could've gone awfully bad but luckily those rudders kept down in the water and he was able to keep it straight from rolling over. if there had been any more curl to the wave and the rudders came out he would've drifted sideways and flipped but he luckily caught just the perfect wave for that and kept it straight. I wonder if he used any motor power to help guide and propel it. he probably had to. turned out really cool
He needed a beer after doing this, I need one seeing this.
THE MOST AMAZING CATAMARAN VIDEO ON UA-cam 💯‼️
what a legend
Good to see a bloke handle the water and his boat properly. Well done!
Friggin awesome!!
That was awesome.
It’s something a catamaran has a far better chance of getting away with. Many years ago I had a 30 ft cat that broke adrift from her mooring in a particularly vicious storm. According to eyewitnesses she rode the top of a surf straight over the top of a rocky half-tide reef and parked herself nose first up the beach. Her rudders were damaged in the subsequent pounding but otherwise she was fine. If she’d been a keeler she’d have been matchwood.
Surfing a catamaran and drinking before 9am. This man is a legend
That was awesome. %)
I'm picturing the skipper yelling "Cowabunga!" and holding his arms out to balance
Wow! Amazing!
Had a simaler incident but we were in a 23cole and it was portphilip heads, ruder broke, swell was so big in the troff all i could see was blue, sumhow my dad(best yatchsman ive even known did sydney to osaka in a 38 he was mad in a good way. Rip dad) got us out,scarrest but somthing ill never forget,
@ricdanger2 I do take exception to this type of uninformed comment. Certainly there was risk involved, however advice from coastguard indicated that the sea had settled significantly and as skipper it was my call to either abort or enter. This decision was taken after discussing the situation with the two VERY experienced sailors accompanying me. Both were keen to enter, ALL CREW were wearing P.F.D's however harnesses were elected to be dangerous for this situation and were not worn.
In a monohull we would of sailed down to Brisbane and back.... not trying that
Boy,that wave snuck up on him, but he managed to pull it off.
Good driving mate!!
Underwriters for the Hull & Machinery policy immediately reassess his risk after seeing this clip.
From Zero to Hero, that could have went both ways. Good job, I think you made the Guinness record for surfing the wave or drank Guinness if it cap sized. ; )
Sail or Surf? Crazy! Enjoy the coldie mate!
I want a surfboat now
The best capitan I have ever seen...
As an Aussie, the urge to cut right and try and make that barrel just for laughs would have been huge hahahahha
Yea mate! I'm no aussie but I am right there with you!
"It was worth the risk." It wasn't like he was trying to escape from pirates or had a critically ill crew member onboard. I wonder if the captain would still be singing the same toon if that 1/2 million dollar catamaran had ended up capsized? Still..... It was impressive. Worth the risk....Naaa. That's called justifying a poor decision.
With a $500,000 catamaran at his disposal, I'd say he tends to make good decisions in life.
@@architectinth This wasnt one of them though. It seems he just got lucky.

why do you literally care at all? its a cool vid of some guy surfing his boat in on a wave
@@20the20 Yes, it was a cool video. A very cool video if you have nothing at risk setting comfortably in front of your computer. And if the skipper left it at that, then that's what we would have, just a cool video of a half million dollar Catamaran surfing. But, that's not what we were left with. We were left with a skipper claiming that "it was worth the risk", placing not only a 500k vessel at risk, but also the lives of his crew, and any first responders that would have to assist if things had gone horribly wrong. So nondescript account 20the20 there is your answer. As you have noticed and exercised your ability to use it, there is a comments section that allows people to throw in their 2 cents. By asking why I care, I can only assume you are a child with very few life experiences. I on the other hand, for many years, have taken friends and family on trips were I am responsible for their safety and wellbeing. I care, as I do not take the lives of my fellow adventurers so cavalier.
That sure is a good boat, loved the way she kept her nose up and you can pilot a boat dude. Eyeballs on stalks and white knuckles I'll bet.
Like a boss!
I'd love to see him try going the other way against those waves though.
it’s actually easier.
Others did on the day... one was about 3m/10ft from ending up on the rocks being pushed sideways in whitewater.... Some people just do stupid things
So close to hooking around, but the bows of those narrow V hulls were perfect for the job they cut into the water like bow mounted rudders and keep it running straight
One very cautious man ! He is the GOAT!
nice drop in dude!
In waters such as these the fifth wave is the driver that if [ and IF gets scary ] you can hold the craft/boat near the top of that wave it will take you in one direction faster than ever imagined.
Its when the captain fails to hold her steady is when there is trouble. . A big congrats to this man that took her in port.
Out for a surf at dawn. Beer for breakfast at 9am. Welcome to Australia, nothing unusual to see here.
Wow like a master. Keep it. 🇦🇺🇬🇧
Glad I wasn’t onboard but at the same time wish I was!
Legend!
i love the boat life, i routinely chug beers at the helm as i'm sailing past the water pigs
@pedruu if you watch the fllm you will see that the bows are well clear of the surface. I carry no weight up forward and the buoyancy of the Perry is exceptional. Carrying sail in would probably not have been wise as the sail pressure may tend to drive the bows deeper. I have surfed at sea with full sail and the bows under, Believe me crossing the bar looked spectacular, but was safer than doing bows under with sail.
Ya gotta get a win sometimes . Bigger balls than me.
Seems like a poor decision that luckily turned out well.
I definitely agree... damn lucky.
Perfectly executed, must have been luck riiiight
@@huntfishexplore7636 You obviously are not a sailor. You cannot perfectly execute anything against the unpredictability and raw power of the sea. If that wave had been a half a meter higher, the starboard hull would have submerged and no skill on the rudder would’ve saved that boat from capsizing. He risked three human lives and $500,000 of luxury catamaran because he was impatient and foolish. He definitely was lucky. But keep thinking you’re in control of your destiny I’m sure it will serve you well.
@@johnoldman7598 guessing you don't sail a catamaran
As for the money's it's his, as for the lives, they belong to the passengers and captain, not you.
I have considerable experience with sailing but I will not pretend to be an expert. I wonder if someone who knows what these boats are designed to do cares to comment. Regarding the suggestion of "backing" it in: my experience with small cats is that they have zero rudder control except when moving forward and even then it must be at a fairly good clip.
Great Seaman!
Don't let the following sea get under the transom or ya might swamp or pitch-pole. Good show!
I never liked catamarans , but after seeing this I have more respect for them .
Awsome!!!!! Surf'n wit a cat, fkn awsome!!!!!! Can't think of any other way to describes it. Just fkn awzome dude!!!
"it was worth the risk"
you're telling me a 2 days delay is worth more than a 500,000 dollars catamaran in your universe ?
That's not a question someone with $500,000 disposable income asks themselves...
@@hauntedyards Well, if you are someone with 500,000 disposable income, you would think it is "worth the risk" only if you make more than 500,000 every 2 days (that's the potential delay quoted on the video).. which means you would have to make 91,250,000 a year.. not talking about the net-worth, but actual income per year. Does he make that kind of money ?
@@pccalcio I'm not a rich or poor man but I'd do this just for the story.
The sea and life are both unpredictable... Sailing 2 days extra could have sent them into a different harms way.... Sometimes you have to live life by your gut.
@Viscous Shear do they cover even if they have video footage of you admitting of intentionally going for the riskier option ?
@Viscous Shear (X) doubt
@warjacare Sim, são criticas sim, a pergunta é exatamente esta, no lugar do comandante você faria esta manobra ou esperaria melhores condições para entrar no canal. Eu iria esperar uma melhor condição.
He has done well and maybe with a bit of luck.I would not dare to surf it on those size waves,rather I would hold and full throttle on the back of the wave,but I take my hat off to you for your guts!
Well said!
A well made cat that isn't too heavy can surf big waves easy and are quite stable in the yaw direction, and with two rudders very maneuverable. They do not have the tendency to broach like monohulls do. As long as there is ample buoyancy in the bows, doing what this man did is well within the capabilities of the yacht.
Also, if you're looking to sell, and you have good insurance, this is an easy way to cash out if you fail.
Very dangerous indeed, if his rudders had come out of the water and he not been able to steer straight down that wave it would have been very nasty indeed! Lots of cajones to try that move. I had a similar experience in Mazaltan Mexico during Hurricane Norbert. As much as I wanted to enter the protected waters of the Marina Mazatlan and Marina Cid, I could not do it and was forced to go to the old harbor entrance.
You had a what a monohoul 10 feet long
Just wow!
esse manja dos paranauê...!!!
It's like riding wakes on the boat x10000 musta been so fun xD
When you're drunk , you lose your fear of everything !
A good captain is one who knows how to hold a beer can well without spilling it with the rocking of the boat.
