Taking on the Noosa Bar like a Boss. 

As someone who is pretty terrified of bar crossings like that, the amount of lessons and confidence I have taken from that short video is huge!!!

Patience is a virtue...

This guy was a pro. I suspect that he's a surfer too, as he knows wave movements, set displacements, rip currents and add in a whole lot of patience. This guy is a prol!

Why on earth don't other boaters just show the patience and smarts of this captain ? Simple really.

Show this to Wavyboats viewers. It would blow their minds hahaha

Dude knows his shit

This guy has done a bit of surfing for shore. He knows how to read the swell on a sandbank!

Wouldn’t be a bit surprised if this bloke has done a little surfing in his time. Knows how to wait for a lull in the sets that inevitably comes before you make you charge to get out the back rather than trying to just keep punching through waves sapping all your energy and often just not getting anywhere.

That's what you call a real skipper on the water😁 I'll be wearing a seat belt🤣😂

cant help it when you are a genius - in a Cat too - great work you blokes.

Counted the sets patiently whilst planning the cunning 'Gun It' manouvre. Well done.

Best video on learning how to handle big waves!

Absolutely brilliant

Great job 👏

Bar crossing 101 right there.

Got to love cats. He's either a surfer or has done plenty of beach launches

Awesome boating. Nice and calm and quite, went to the right spot and waited for the perfect time then had the right amount of grunt to take advantage of the drop off set of waves. Much respect to that operator.

Patience and timing like all the other comments said will get any boat out the bar, but in a 🐈‍⬛ makes it so much smoother!

Nicely waited out, I was saying to myself, " there's the opportunity", and he went. No need for bravery, skill and experience is where its at.

Look at the point going off in the background...

Well done skipper, well done

Perfect

Those yellow numbers are a dead giveaway that he knows his way around.

That's how you do it. Slowly and carefully

There is no way that you can beat experience Dont even try! This bloke and his mate knew what they were doing. Probably done it a hundred times before. Well done boys.

Great public service in showing the virtue of patience: beyond avoiding a swamping, could also keep Grandma riding up on the bow from breaking the other hip too!

Sweet! That's the way, if you notice his angle to the waves he could have got out of the way and waited patiently until the cresting cycle unstacked and had the power to take advantage.

Cats seem to do really well on that bar

Hopefully watching enough of these videos will rub off on me

That's how it's done. Wait and watch and understand what sets are. He IDd the last one and went.

Experience and patience

Ohh yeah slow speed and patience it works.

That was a well performed bar crossing.. but wasn’t like a boss

I was waiting for Axl Foley to make an appearance

All down to a count of 7 much the same everywhere but not always

Perfect soundtrack timing as well. Who so playing?

Este manja dos paranauê.

"Swim" out past the breakers...

wow the channels a long way down the beach now

Niiice!.

Show this to the muppet captains at Haulover inlet and Boca Inlet in the US. They are a joke compared to these guys.

Patience.

Boss

Just like waiting at point breaks to jump in for a surf. You have to have experience in reading surf.

Hes a commercial fisherman he probably does it on a daily bases so he would know how and when to go over

I subscribed well done 👏 what hp 90 or 115

Hey, do you know why he decided to take that route out in front of the tower instead of where the main channel currently is?

Looks like old mate has done his time sitting out there on a longboard reading the sets.

What boat is this? Cheers

He's done that once or twice..

i thought you have to ware life jacket crossing the bar there

Its called timing the sets

Never RUSH watch the sets and the time will come not slowing down and assessing the Ocean is the first and last mistake alot of people make :)

Anyone know the type of cat?

He took all the fun out of sinking a boat and becoming victim.

Notice boat has yellow patch on side I'd guess it has lfb on it licence fishing boat

He should be good at it there pro numbers on the side of the boat

Here in WA USA, we take 12 foot aluminum boats through stuff like that!

Didn't cost anything to sit there a short while work out what's going on as opposed to costing everything.

Obviously not his 1st rodeo, Experience Just cant buy it.

Help if ya lived thier ya hole life a just know the way she rolls
