I like the "oh sh!t" at 2:48 in the video, LOL....been there and done that. I've launched high enough on waves that I jumped off and away from my ski, because I knew I could never safely land from that height without being seriously injured.
Sounds like some of my jet skiing mishaps. I remember another time on a Kawasaki 550SX when I jumped a wave and my foot slipped off the deck, and I raked my shin on the back edge of the ride plate. That was cute, LOL.
@prncezzxxx no we were using a canon waterproof point and surf camera. All the footage was shoot with one hand while driving the ski with the other. there are a couple of shots where you can really see just how big they were, and we were 1/4 mile of shore still.
@BocaChevy wow good job out there ... I get nervous here in the TX gulf with 5ft.... So hard to judge the ft on videos it never looks as big as it is..
How is the rip currents? I was in Florida when Bill went by in 2009. And the rip was pretty bad. I can only imagine Irenes must be much worse. Seeing how she is bigger and came closer.
@cantugabe Did they show clips from this video? I've been trying to look it up on the weather channel. Well i agree with them. It wasn't that safe any wrong move and the ski would have been toast
they showed it like once. they just show random clips having to do with the storm they are covering. i thought they had to ask permission but i guess not since they put your channel url on the top of the screen
@BocaChevy lol. oh man, do you know how pissed off the reporter is with you? he said that you all were in the back yucking it up so someone was there filming live i. he actually looked like he wanted to cry. and i was in between scared and laughing at you guys while watching it. brave. very brave. it's good to know you lived to post this. :).
That is so much fun doing that. Nice GPR.
