Anyone have good action shots or video of riding in water like that? I'd like to see some of the technique used. I'm new to boating in the big machines and would love to learn more about the technique involved. Thanks! Cool thread!

Damn, I miss Ventura County! Those photos don't do it justice, when it is breaking over the top of the outer breakwater like that, it's really big. The first day KS got his Gun it was like that but probably closer intervals. We went out and turned around and came back in. It was so adrenalin pumping I forgot to get my camera out and take any pictures. Kevin offered to go back out so I could get some shots but I think Kelly nixed the idea very quickly!

Tank, when can we do a SB run? My last ocean fix was July 4th and I'm jones bad! You still working weekends?

Don't worry, let her know that there's no water like that at the Havasu Poker Run that you should be sending your boat to in April!;)
