LOL, if they were in a race hull, they would know exactly what their butts tast like, that water is hauling ass and about 40*F..........

I would be willing to bet they gained 50+ feet in altitude in the short distance they traveled :screwy:

Post by: Brad @ SCJB on July 24, 2009, 12:19:25 AM: well, this is a different kinda thrill then goin fast.....

i kinda thought of it as rock crawling on the water....very slow and technical....and planning your move 5-10 moves ahead of where you are.

just imagine if the boat got pushed sideways by the current....things would get real ugly quick. theres no shutting down and floating out of it either....once youre in the thick of it, you better have a plan to get out of it.

to the average person, this would seem boring.....i see the thrill in it and respect the experience and talent it takes to do what they are doing....flat out bad ass.

Post by: alamojimmy on August 11, 2009, 06:23:00 AM: That is a great video. Takes some real nuts to take your boat into that mess. Those guys have been driving boats for a while is my guess. Pretty cool.
