WORST ever Attempt At Crossing This Bar! Wonder what was going on in this boaties head? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qZ55rderqt6veIU.html

This is actually how you cross a bar! You wait and read the waves. Then you go when it's calmed down.

It's cool to watch serious people focused on a difficult and dangerous job, working together without panicking and trusting each other. You can tell from their body language they're really focused on what's happening.

I believe patience and experience won the day. Nice work gentlemen. 👋

Skills my friends. 80 ft vessel with an unskilled sailor could end up in a submerged vessel in these conditions. Knowledge the seas will keep you alive no matter what size boat you are navigating. Huge respect for that sailor!

They did just fine. Most could not have done it any better. These men have done this many times before. Great job!

Not his first rodeo obviously, good job.

Well done just proves it's not speed an power to cross a bar but read the waves an being in the right place

Patience is the key and of course skill

Nicely done I don't care what anyone says that takes skill reading those waves like that. Most of these people with negative comments prolly never seen this kinda situation first hand let alone been in it

You'll spend longer sitting at traffic lights on an average car journey and how much skill does that take? These guys did a great job!

Quite possibly the first BP Rescue IRB that has actually showed a good piece of boat handling. Best way to cross a bar observe, analyse, observe again looking for repetition in the wave patterns then act accordingly.

Wait for a break in the sets and go through a little white water, works like a charm. Ride back in on the back side of a wave. Whats really scary in a boat that size is cross seas.

Good sensible boat handling skills. Makes a nice change from the "just power through it and hope" shown in so many videos.

Those lil ribs are made for this shit, he did a good job either way.

Great stuff, done a bit of it myself. Safety and success before heroism. Well done.

Timing is EVERYTHING !!

takes me back to my surf lifesaving days training these fullas definitely know what theyre doing!

perfect crossing i wouldnt do it like river fishing but they know what to look out for. love the dingy easy to turn around very manouvable

Knowing your vessel and patience is key.

Not sure? These are SURF LIFEGUARDS. We are trained to rescue drowning people in the surf in these little red boats. They just didn’t want a sore arse. If they wanted they could have gotten past those waved in no time. Look up IRB SLS Races!

Just in case anyone is interested, that is a Arancia inshore lifeboat or IRB. They are incredibly capable soft hulled boats that are specifically designed for surf. To crew one of these you need to be a qualified beach lifeguard, and hold crew and coxswain quals and renew them bi annually. The fact that they are even sat in that boat meant that they knew exactly what they were doing. There are times that being on are bar is terrifying. The driver did the right thing.

Good read on those sets

Please everybody let's spread the word. Outboards are built to be driven by sitting on the starboard side and holding the tiller with the left hand. That's why the tiller comes out to the left and the throttle twists like a motorcycle throttle. if you sit on the port side, the tiller sticks into your butt and legs and the throttle twist is backwards. Your arm it twisted behind you instead of straight out to the side like it should be. This is just basic outboard 101. I know it's a free country but please do yourself a favour and try driving from the starboard side. You'll love it once you get the hang of the proper position. I promise. You'll have much better control and it's way more comfortable.

Great...👍👍👍👍I got this type experience at Sri Lanka East coast .. Ruwan from Sri Lanka.

Looks like a massive win to me!

Nice work boys, it was pumping out there! I beach launch my inflatable in sizable surf everyday and I know that feeling. No matter how many times you do it, you always have some butterflies. There’s consequences to any mistakes out there. Especially when you’re loaded down with expensive fishing gear, haha. Tight work!

Very nicely done, showed a lot of patience. Now to come back in

Nicely done. I'm on the Bristol channel and the sea tells you what you can and can't do.

Monday to Friday the lake is calm looks like a mirror ! The weekend is windy with white caps ..It never fails

Hi. Always mind the rock piers or peers. Very brave of you. My very best regards.

Eyes pinned the whole time watching this ! Perfect score here on my radar ☺️ sick !

great patience and wave reading skills.

Is there another of home getting back in again, or is he still waiting beyond the break?

Ive done rescues at Muriwai in around 15ft those boats are perfect for big surf.You ca still pop around 6ft broken white water if driver and crew know how.

Naw man, hold my... AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHGURGLEGURGLEGURGLE!!!!!

Esse entende..ele esperou com paciência a hora certa de cruzar as grandes ondas..

Thats what i call profesional bote driving.i hope to lesrn to maneuver my bote like that in the ocean that was awesome watching.thanks for the video😊

Excelente! Yo tengo un gomon y quiero entrar al mar.... Pero cuando este calmo..no así. Jeje

Surfs up. Whoa dude!

Great job IMHO

He also made it in a little bitty boat lol, you try and rush it and see what happens =P

Only the fish were laughing always respect the dangers of breakers !

The best drivers are always the smaller boat the bigger boat captains just think they can do anything

I grew up with that same size boat. Zodiac with a 35 on the back. Skied endless summer days off it so much fun. Helps we were skinny

Going out is one thing. Coming back in an other.

fascinating video !

Like a fucking Boss! The thumbs downs are people who were hoping for death. lol

Grandissimi....💪💪💪😉

Wauuu... amazing 🤩🤩🤩

Masterful!

I think they knew what they were doing...fine crossing, I’d say!

"Patience is a virtue".

Is that a 2hp outboard?

No suprises us kiwis ain't scared of no bar hahaha

Waves workmates , real sailors .

They did a good job. Don't want to be caught on a wave break, for sure.

Where's the river bar at. What drinks do they serve

Welldone.

That was laim!!!! I wanna see full send!!!!

Nice video, thanks

Patience. Bloke never took a chance. Probably a seaman since childhood.

Just trying to use the engine power to muscle your way in or out never works. You have to read the waves. When crossing back in you should try to come in behind a wave allowing it to break and subside before it reforms smaller

hola buena entrada! van a pescar??

When you know your stuff and it is really a cold blood.

good job 👍

And the return is dangerous too i think

Did you cross them or ride them out?

Wow there were some close calls there dangerous stuff

Patient is the answer they've got iy right . I learned by doing the hard yard's 16 year's old n bullet proof and very wet a few times tought me well.😅

Very skillfull

How big were those swells?

Its not inflatable, its the captain, this captain could of crossed these bars with a boogie board.

Crazy though 😂

RESPECT the dingy

I say it’s stupid to try to cross a bar. You should enter, sit down, order a pint and enjoy the atmosphere in every bar you encounter. Common courtesy.

the key word always face a wave at 45 degree never at 90 degree.

Little boat that could, 😎🚣

Good lad.

I've got a 12 ft. Inflatable I run on the ocean in Alaska, these Guys have bigger cohoinas than Me.

its about the timing

What!! This is NOT Crossing! this is amatørs!

waiting the wave broken, then go

Must be a surfer. Timing the sets and getting in the peak at a lull is key

Amazing

Ya ok woth waves they bog no amd they turned back fast fsct intflatble are a beast boy you gotta have over a 20 h p motor to go three that fact been there done that on mine

Big Swell???????

These crossings can be done with any boat the boat means nothing is all about the timing

If you sit there long enough it will eventually die down!

I fish out of Cook Inlet Alaska, with My 12ft inflatable, sometimes the rollers slapping the beach are higher than Your head and You definitely have to watch the undertow . Coming in has to be met with precision.

Is that a surfer out to the left?

How does lets say a stabicraft 1650 or 1850 handle this bar?

Fourth time is the charm

Cadê a onda gigante da chamada?????

He still must return.

Can't see life jackets

The papillon (movie) method.

I wouldn't even try😁

patience. patience. patience.

what waves
