White knuckle ride 

It's a bit of an illusion there. They're quite a distance from the wall behind them, thankfully. You're absolutely right though about the good skippering.

Thanks for watching

😀

Thanks it was a pretty wild ride the captain did well keeping it straight.

It’s more likely the conversation was; “Hold my beer, I got this “! 😂

Kelly Slater Would be impressed🤣🤣🤣

The fishing Boats haven’t got the speed of the smaller Boats. They just have to commit . Hopefully big one doesn’t come behind them😬

@@westcoastrippers9862 the Hauraki gulf can get pretty rough, I've been out in horrible conditions, but different to the Greymouth bar. It looks like it sucks you in, then kicks you in the arse

@@jimpeers4852 I think that's a fair description. The tide was high here but sometimes the water from the river and the sea conspire to lower at the bar as a big-arsed set are coming up the rear. If there's been big rain in the high country, you also have to play "dodge the logs", as well.

Sure is👍

He’s normally very careful he just got caught out that’s the Greymouth bar for you.😬

Over the last 30 years ten boats have capsized on the Greymouth bar which has resulted in the tragic lost of 18 lives.

🥶 It’s not that bad here🥶🌊🌊🌊😀😀😀

Pretty impressive ride. Cowabunga dude.

😁😁😁😁

the word is broach, whales breach

🍻 cheers to that😀

Greymouth bar has taken a few boats over the years such a long approach. Not for fainthearted.

He was up all night as well
