Hence he landed skew, hull caught and some epic face plants were the result. Says alot about the hull that it didn't flip, and also very well constructed bikinis.

Can you explain in layman's terms what he did wrong? Seems as if the water was flat to start with and he was travelling fast!

Post by: Toppie on September 04, 2012, 07:49:31 AM: He was travelling too fast and lost control of the boat.

But I think he had a plan, notice the two girls in the bikini's fell at the same spot where he went down.

After that, the boat bounced from side to side until the hull was in a straight line with the desired direction of travel (unfortunately not at the same desired speed anymore)
