Why do we have to have so many regulations here in the states... I wish they did that out here

Dibs on being the dude in the front of the boat. Just hold on and lean!

Who thinks of this stuff? They must just sit around and get drunk,

"hey, dude, lets strap that extra motor over there onto this here little raft thing, then go race around in the surf"

"dude, like, I'm gonna sit on the front of the raft so we don't flip over!"

Nope wasn't the aussies.... only South Africans that get up to things hammer head ducks and then making it the most gruelling boat race in the world.

Used to be a co-pilot 15 years ago. Hit a 6 footer full tilt and flipped got stuck underneath the duck trapped by the line that the co-pilot uses for anchors. I ripped it clean of the side pontoon eventually... and managed to get out. Twenty seconds more and I would not have met my wife or seen the birth of my son nine years ago. Motors are typically blueprinted and hauls ass. Nothing for a team to drop 100k into a motor.
