Great Video Brian, This is one of my favourite spots, thanks for sharing

There is no feeling like surfing along on a following sea, Pure exhilaration 😁

You can tell she’s loaded down, nice weather and good crossing ..

Pretty good skipper there.. id go to sea with him... kept his speed & direction .. kudos from Australia 🇦🇺

Almost a million views 😀 You deserve it, keep it up!

In the end aren’t most of us BJ Hunters?

Hell of a captain,its no joke crossing the bar.

Very good boat handling, well ballasted, good speed and timing of the swells.

He can actually stay between the two waves but seems he is using the waves to push him forward to save gas 😄. Very clever 👍

All engineered crafts are mental and physical compromises of what a skilled man can do, both from the structural engineering side and the operational side. The engineer who designed, chose the materials, and built that boat, knew exactly what was needed for him to continuously save the lives of the crew, both in calm and stormy conditions and the same applies to aircraft /car/bridges/domestic/industrial/medical/surgical/ art, military, religious, etc engineering. The ship's master does not seem to be conversant with the PID control ( and acceleration control) we use in automatic control engineering and is letting the craft oscillate continuously with marginal stability with the wave using only positional feedback to the rudder which is rather a delayed control system. If he used derivative feedback he could have kept that craft going straight but would impose greater pressures on the rudder. He is a wise person.

More like Surfin' ! Super boat , handled it well . Wales UK

Thanks for this

Dangerous line of work.

Well built vessel,she's a beauty.

I have been fishing on that one for 3 months. That time it had different colors black hull Thornton fishing company

Good looking boat. looks able

Looks so easy when its done as skilfully as that.

Ebb tide? Flood? Looking at the shore the tide looked high/slack. Google Maps shows the harbor is the mouth of a river. The Greymouth River? River mouths are always a tricky passage. The bar is created by silt settling out of the river. The shallows push up the ocean swells into formidable waves sometimes, depending on the strength of the current.The Columbia River bar in Oregon is notorious. Outside the Golden Gate in San Francisco is a bar called the Potato Patch. Small craft are advised to stay out of it at all times.

Same principle as marriage. Keep a cool head, be patient; stay a float. Do not rush.

Boat is beautiful
