Skip was also not watching behind him... Never let a wave catch up with you... Always sit on the back of the wave to keep the bow up  :shk

.. and don't overtake the wave in front just to impress your guests.... soon as you are in the "comfort zone" between a set, just ride with it and pay attention to some rogue side waves.... it's no time/place to fool around. It's a very dynamic/flowing environment.... get sync'd with the flow and get it done!

Just proves the need for a operating licence - bear in mind that in most countries you can buy a boat and go to sea with no training, no licence at all.
This is simply stuffing the bow and is so easily avoidable in that scenario.

there is a bit more to that if you look closely looks like the tide is ripping out and there is a standing wave very similar to hells gate on a out going tide and a little sand bank should of hit that with much more speed and motor trimmed out
