    I am absolutely amazed by these boats and captains launching off the beach into the crazy waves, tho I understand it , it is pretty crazy stuff to get out to sea like that. Craziest boating stuff since the last Haulover stuffing I watched, good captains who know the waters well, the changes on earth will certainly keep them on their toes.

    Absolutely fascinating!! I really enjoyed your informed commentary, as being a complete novice ( simply an uninformed spectator) I started to appreciated the complexity and skill involved.!!! Some skippers just make it look easy.

    Awesome videos. This reminds me a lot of going out of our local Matanzas Inlet. Its the only natural inlet left on the east coast of Fl I believe. Constantly changing, and you have to time the tides and the waves right. Makes me appreciate our boat ramps here!

      They can carry enormous amounts of weight compared to normal glassfiber hulls.. but no.. it was not very heavily loaded.. It just appears like it.. all ocean-going vessels adhere to Strick SAMSA regulations and Certification.. Something very extensively controlled is the Safety of vessels Surf Launching from the beaches here in iSimangaliso Wetlands Park..

      Summer Months there is more digging from the ovean side .. so deeper gullies.. less Samdbanks.. sets may be bigger but way more predictable.. and the flow is more from South to North.. rather than suddenly and unpredictable

      They sometimes get it right at the right time of the tide.. closer to high and low tide the waves are at their biggest on the bar ... then there is a lal.. when the gaps are long and waves are not so dominant.. but they have to deal what they have in front of them.. it's all about timing

  • @toddrohrlach8336
    @toddrohrlach8336 Рік тому +3

    Count the waves in the set and then your right. The waves get bigger at the end of the set and its flat to gun it through.

    • @PetrusandPardette
      @PetrusandPardette  Рік тому +1

      Thanks.. so many people has argued with me at the beginning.. they said you can't count the waves.. we had many hubris abrasive arguments on the channel about counting the sets..
      Now days people have windy, wind finder and many other apps that state how many seconds between a set.. makes Launching so much easier with such knowledge

    • @toddrohrlach8336
      @toddrohrlach8336 Рік тому +1

      Talk to a surfer man, you can count waves. That's how I found out about it and cross bars here in Aus all the time and always wait a bit and count 1 or 2 sets . But the amount of waves per set and the gap between the sets will be different everywhere,and some breaks are just radical. Your vid reminded me of the Fraser Is fishing comp launching of the beach but on trailer.

      Depending on the bar and the depth of water.. well if rythm has worked for you that's great.. but not all skippers has the opportunity to spend so much time in the mid break.. they have to rely on a system where they can count it..

      which I guestimate by the hight of the T- Top or boat nose.. I may be off by a couple of inches or a foot.. but not often..
      Thing people don't take in consideration when viewing the videos is zoom length.. and camera hight and angle..
      This is real life.. no camera effects or CGI.. I can only say what I see.. to make the channel entertaining.. not supposed to be educational..
