Very entertaining. Brought back some scary memories.

Calculated the risk, and took it by the short and curly. Well sailed, there are not many this brave... as above legend

I was sitting on the edge of my seat saying come on get a gust!!

The introductory video was Shark Island 1, available in the wavesailing forum. It shows you how to select a good launch spot.

Is that the launch spot for the rescue launch?

Starting from the way he rigs a sail this ought to be pretty much the stupidest video I have seen in a while ...

Hi mate,

hope this video is more to your liking:



I haven't watched it, probably why I'm so bad at rigging.

Dunc I think you should watch this.

Okay, that just hurt to watch him drill into the workbench.... Honestly, if any one actually needed this tutorial, I wouldn't trust them with power tools.

Love the videos. Keep them coming.! Much respect to the rider as others have said.

Absolute fun to watch. He definitely knows the spot well. Great skill. Brave man. I don't know why he needs to take that much risk to launch. Looks like there are some bit better spots when the shoreline is shown in the video from the drone. Maybe private property.. who knows.
It also looks like he really needs a better drive from that board. Maybe makes sense to switch from Pyramid to a faster rocker that also considering that in most cases looks like he bottom/top turns pushing more on fins than using board's shape/volume.

Can you guys share the google maps link to that spot?

Thanks

I love the way you didn't add music and just left the sound of the surf. It really gave atmosphere , drew you in and made you feel part of the action and suspense..

Cheers yeah the natural sounds are more in keeping with the reality of sailing out there.
