I gotta agree there, the driving part was over after he hit the first wave. After that it was all hull dynamics, physics and luck. Crazy ride right there. I'm not sure it came up on the second bounce at the end because it was loose though. Kinda looks like after it tripped the first wake and did its dance it then came down hard on the forward entry of the sponson and because of how how steep they are (anti stuff) it popped up pretty hard. Either way glad they came out OK.

I watched the crash video and spin out video.....was there also strong winds that day? He honestly didn't look like he was going super fast.... I'm sure a vee would handle that a lot differently. Glad everyone is ok.
