...............considering that ALL of New Zealand has only 4,775,000 people in a country that's more than 100,000 square miles in size.................(8^)
Waterjet Propulsion boats were first developed in NZ by Sir William Hamilton who started out in 1939 at Irishmans Creek. They are the only way to get up the braided rivers of NZ.
This is extremely impressive. Both the driving and the fact that the boat can run in a couple inches of water and make it over rocks. 6:10 was so good.
I don't care if this is a year old comment! Theirs a company that offers rides through the mountains where Lord of the rings was filmed. 12 people in the boat, can travel on 30cm of water, the arsehole driving then decides to start doing 360's. The most amazing country I've ever been too
Listening to 1ZB talkback on that sweet headset radio while fanging a mini jetboat in literally centimetres of water. Entertaining! Love NZ. Scenery is amazing. Perspective works really well.
A Most excellent example of shallow draft boating as I have ever seen. Few people are actually away of how serious a sport it is . Well Done. G'Day Mate.
Crazy ride and beautiful scenery. And, this guy appears so relaxed throughout, like another walk in the park. maybe a galvanized steel plate can be fitted to assist in the hull life? This man knows how to live.
ULTRA NOOB wow. I make a comment about a helmet and a life preserver and I don't know about water sports. your name is very fitting. ultra noob. perfect
New Zealand, like most shitty countries in this overly-regulated world, requires a properly sized life jacket for every person on board.... considering the size of the boat, it's probably just as easy to wear it as stow it.
this really makes me miss home . l was a young kid live just down the road from where this was taken I've lived in aus for the past 25 years . It doesn't get any better than this great vid bud 👍👍👍👍
Jet boating was crazy fun! Last summer or their winter, I went in the freezing cold and it was an amazing experience. What so cool is that the boat barely touches the waters surface so you’re literally flying and can get crazy close to the shore and make impossible turns!
Breathtaking scenery and video nice. Great tune for the video. I can't help but think what a pristine place this is...until every thrill seeking headcase comes along and there it goes. Great video though. !
Hey brother , I live in B.C Canada and we do this all the time in 2 feet of water or less. That mini looks like a blast ! That landscape is beautiful. Keep going up river!!
Vous m’avez fait rêver 😍 Ma gni fi que !!!!! Splendide , Aérien tout en étant sur l’eau ! Et ces sensations d’être dans un jeu vidéo. Extra la Musique ! Je vous félicite 👍
So Cool! I used to drive a Jet Boat similar to this one. A small 14ft Boston Whaler with a 115hp OMC . They only made them for a few years i think, they were INSANELY fast, but I was lucky enough to have one and would tear ass around tiny back waterways. Some were only a few inches deep and 4 ft wide in sections, but you take it to a whole other level! this looks insane and great fun, plus your view is MUCH nicer than NJ back waters lol. Great video! Made me a bit nostalgic...
Beautiful! Love the scenery and background music. I would live to do this someday and hope you still can. It's glacier water so it's probably clean enough to drink without any worries of getting sick.
@@doublej4077 sonewhat over last century, but in peak of ice age ~20,000 years ago this whole valley was covered in ice, you can see how it carved a wide flat valley, and now there is just a small river flowing through
Ha ha yeah , by a farmer who wanted a faster and better way to check on his stock . It was in an area not too far from this very river . Remember watching the black and white video just after Hamilton invented it . Dam I'm getting old !
i watched this video when it came out over 6 years ago...still watch it from time to time...so peacefull...love the music
If you are interested, the music up to 6:27 is Greenland, by Emancipator ua-cam.com/video/AsdNua632p0/v-deo.html
+1
Me too.Love the music as it goes well with the vid 😊
Must have seen this movie 50 times. Amazed everytime of the river and it's surroundings. The music is perfect for this scenery. Greetings from Sweden.
It was a perfect day to go up there, I normally get up there in the boat 2-3 times a year, thanks for watching
Little known fact- that five gallon red tank has water in it. Just enough to get home if the river runs dry.
minimoto23 Dad joke!....lol
minimoto23 😂😂😂
I could drive my truck through most of that.
ахаха
XD
I appreciate you video. It's the only way I'd ever get to see such beauty and your skill at handling the craft. Thanks.
i don't think Ive ever seen more beautiful place. so open spaces, large, wonderful. would love to go there.

Not gonna lie. I was mesmerized by this video. Looks like a trip to heaven.
Epic ride, with a cool dude, in a rippin jetter with all that breathtaking beauty all around. Too awesome bro👍a million thanks for sharing 🙌🍻
The BEST small jet video clip ever. Excellent scenery & top class (in sympathy) music. Congratulations
What lovely land you have in New Zealand. I'm from Western Australia and I have never seen a mountain, snow or rivers like this.
Lord Humungous Austrailia is beautiful also .love Perth city and swan river
Don't know what's more awesome, the jet boat or the dudes majestic beard.
Dude is a wizard!
Ha! I thought he was wearing a scarf 🤣🤣
@@CaptainSkidmark74 you’re a boat guy Harry…
You New Zelanders have way to much fun!! Looks like an awesome adventure!! Thanks for the videos

Thank you internet for the ability to see all the beautiful corners of the Earth
Mike Asterios see them for yourself! it’s not that hard
@@jakedeutscher ofc not that hard.When u live in 1 of the shittest countrys in the world)))Called Ukraine xD
Absolutely amazing! Such beautiful scenery and was shocked how shallow water was . Wonderful music also.
Thank you sir..you made me smile for 9 minutes and 41 seconds!
This is extremely impressive. Both the driving and the fact that the boat can run in a couple inches of water and make it over rocks.
6:10 was so good.
never seen someone hillclimb a boat
Je ne m'en lasse pas de regarder cette vidéo :) Top, musique totalement en adéquation avec la vidéo. Je kif :) Merci ! :)
What is that like an inch of water???? You could run this thing down a wet sidewalk.damn.

Well it ain't a fan boat.
The mini boats like this can run in as little as 4 inches of water.
beautiful country to have fun...thanks for sharing
His Camera man is outstanding, standing the whole time with out falling
Its good that the pole is sturdy that the cameras attached too
@@Daniel-gr2qq not surprised, polish people make excellent cameramen, outstanding people and very traditional
Une caméra arrière 😁 fixe 👍
Hello from Idaho! I love this video so much.
NZ is one beautiful place. That scenery is truly stunning..
The nice music for the nice video.Its beautiful place!!!
Beautiful footage with beautiful music. Proud to share such an awesome country!

No big deal.
Just cruising through middle earth on my speed boat...
Well since middle earth is in New Zealand, I would say no.
In Lord Of The Rings, not reality.
No, the term is equivalent to what it's being applied to.
Just give it up, man...
Nothing was metaphorical about my comment, but okay.
Nik Murphy don't worry the majority of the people who read it understand
Thanks for sharing. Great ride, awesome scenery, good music.
Great video. Perfect position of the camera, fun boat, stunning views, good fitting music. 10 points :)
This is the peak of life, having this journey, the driver has a style and what a style
Awesome video, shocked at how well that boat coped with the shallow water. what an amazing looking place too!

Great Video, great Musik, i like it ❤❤❤❤ best Greetings from Austria!
You might not have made it to the glacier lakes but still, that was one hell of a trip. You are a fortunate man to have such adventures.
No words can describe the sheer pleasure of watching and listening...
Superb video..

And the comments are hilarious...
I could watch this all day !! 😍🌈🌞🌄🏜🗻⛰🛶
Damn Skippy, that was intense, nice driving! Small boat with a very shallow draft, looked fun!
Mate this is really entertaining and the scenery is breathtaking. well done dude!
adamfremer . do everyone a favor and keep your stupid opinions to yourself! STFU AND FUCKOFF!
too bad the thing is so loud it chases away all fauna, and scares fish to death... ugh silly humans
The scenery is so breath taking! AMAZING
Used to holiday at Benmore and Twizel when we were kids..love this area of NZ. And the Hamilton Jet is one of NZs best inventions.
Great video, really enjoyed the views and music.

Dude, What an adventure, What a magnificent place and fantastic film, thanks so much for such a beautiful glimpse into your life and adnevture.
probably need to trade that life preserver in for a helmet. your not gonna drown in 2 inches of water.
ULTRA NOOB wow. I make a comment about a helmet and a life preserver and I don't know about water sports. your name is very fitting. ultra noob. perfect
ULTRA NOOB fucking destroyed

your first sentence is extremely false. Use some logic lmfao...
Hahhahah zz top dude nearly went rocking and rolling ass up ... head first into all them rocks ...needs a helmet l reackon

Seriously? Lol 😂
Hahahahahaha
Suco Vidya+ that sounds hella gay

Nice run. That boat is like a Jeep for water...or Land Rover,.. if you prefer. Just keeps going.

Hey brother , I live in B.C Canada and we do this all the time in 2 feet of water or less. That mini looks like a blast ! That landscape is beautiful. Keep going up river!!
Love this vid ! good choice of music to.
Any idea what this track is called or who it is?
RekLes not sure but I think iys some kind of deep trance music
It's called "Greenland" by Emancipator
Dana Chapman cheers buddy
Greenland may be the trance version but it's a spinoff of the song "Fade to Grey" by Visage from the 80s( maybe 90s).
Amazing boat..
amazing place..
Nice music and nice videos..😊
Time to trade in my kayak. Sweet video!!
yes it is
Salubrious Driving and scenery . Top Marks.
Bucket list!

Smoker Ace 😂
Smoker Ace ...and think of all the starving children in Africa who could have eaten those rocks.
LOL 😂😂😂
Smoker Ace about as many as fish killed

Beautiful scenery. Good music too. Thanks for sharing.
ESSE VÍDEO EU VEJO 10 VEZES POR DIA E NÃO ME CANSO DE VER.
Great video and music. Can only dream of being able to do that one day. Two thumbs up.
WOW! just wow!!!! nice music and awesome video!!!
I got that feeling that I've been here before(I haven't) and I can feel the cool air too. Thank you for sharing this video.
only 1 word can describe your video that is PERFECT
I see that extra seat I could fit in watched this over 5 times
Amazing man, wish i could drive a boat on that river
That isn't a river its a fucking puddle of water lol
A beautiful landscape. I hope people will not destroy it. Thanks for movie ;)
That is so cool 👌
lovely footage i do hope the river never runs 2 dry ever ,,,,my mind ponders of such a thing ,stunning footage BIG SHOUT OUT FOR THE GOAT ,,,,endless
Thought I was going to hear ZZ Top after seeing that epic beard
Clint Kysar I gotsa get paid
I watch a lot of what i like to see.but this video is by far the most awesome..thanks .i know i gotta find a way to do.what i just seen...
I can see the Amazon ad now, Boat like new, only one owner, only used once, etc.
... yeah but can we see the under side ?
Small dint in hull....
So Cool! I used to drive a Jet Boat similar to this one. A small 14ft Boston Whaler with a 115hp OMC . They only made them for a few years i think, they were INSANELY fast, but I was lucky enough to have one and would tear ass around tiny back waterways. Some were only a few inches deep and 4 ft wide in sections, but you take it to a whole other level! this looks insane and great fun, plus your view is MUCH nicer than NJ back waters lol. Great video! Made me a bit nostalgic...
wóñee néd 21 foot whaker
man I could watch this all day! love it
Beautiful! Love the scenery and background music. I would live to do this someday and hope you still can. It's glacier water so it's probably clean enough to drink without any worries of getting sick.
Indeed, South Island rivers are drinkable until they reach livestock areas
@@scottmckinney880 Glacier water must taste delicious ! Has the water receded like so many other places in the world that are becoming bone dry ?
@@doublej4077 sonewhat over last century, but in peak of ice age ~20,000 years ago this whole valley was covered in ice, you can see how it carved a wide flat valley, and now there is just a small river flowing through
Aww bro you made me homesick! Nice vid thanks.
Awesome boat, beard and beats
didn't know zz top liked boats
Jeremy B dang! I was just about to write that!!!
Jeremy B ZZ TOP 😎👍🍻
He's the singer of the Gormathon group...
Ppl, first sound track is - Greenland by Emancipator.
After working 10 hours a day, these 7 minutes made my day. Life is a hoax as Alan watts would say...
absolutely amazing surrounding... the mountains and the colors were awesome. hope you didn't break anything on your boat...
Music - Emancipator - Greenland
ActrosVLG thank you
Thank's man!
my chance to comment: beautiful video, beautiful music and a beautiful beard, heaven like New Zealand. soon going to visit it.
Great movie and the song beautiful congrats bro
A Man could be great full for some peace like this, The Pleasures of life.
Постоянно смотрю этот видос, он очень крутой, успокаивает) красиво)
Это был идеальный день, чтобы поехать туда, обычно я поднимаюсь туда на лодке 2-3 раза в год, спасибо за просмотр.
dafuq what is this boat made of!?? First time I've ever seen a boat that can take such a beating and survive..
Av987 Google 'UHMW plastic'. The bottomside of the boat is clad with it.
painmagnet1 Actually its made of Chuck Norris' scrotum.
Probably the same Alloy as his Balls, STEEL!
The whole body is made of aluminum.
Eric Heagan and the motor? Jet propelled, correct?
Amazing views good music good driving skills awesome time nice one
Красота какая
That's amazing view. Thank you for sharing. And who cares about the boat 🚣, just look how enjoyable it was 😍😍😍
doesn't the water intakes and impeller get damaged by the rocks and sand it takes in?
Last Manstanding the jet boat was invented on these rivers
Ripped Up1 I believe that 100%. bloody awesome. F yes.
Ha ha yeah , by a farmer who wanted a faster and better way to check on his stock . It was in an area not too far from this very river . Remember watching the black and white video just after Hamilton invented it .
Dam I'm getting old !
So how does it prevent small stones and sand from being sucked in and damaging the impeller?
Kyla Binghay it dosent, just eats me up, big ones will break or stop the impeller tho
Awesome scenery! The man has the look of ZZTop! 😆 What a machine! 👍
Nice music 🤔
Incredible. Look at that view. The music. This is why I come back to watch UA-cam. Great
Как красиво!
Ай молодца мужик.
Очень люблю этот ролик!
