I guess wearing lanyards and lifejackets doesn't always make you safe.

That's wild! I've never taken anything larger than a surfboard through large breakers and I think I'll try and keep it that way.

Most likely a beach launch in Australia that is very common.
Outgoing tide and heavy ground swell is a real ***** to negotiate.Problem is once he committed he had to stick with it there is no turning broadside to the waves with a Cat as it will rail up and flip easily so he pushed through.

A wave like that produces so much lift where it is breaking that even if he was standing still the speed and force would have probably still flipped him .

Wrong place at the wrong time .I spent many years negotiating big breakers like these having to shuttle passengers back and forth to the beach in a 21 foot rib.Some Good Times

Tough crowd. If he had been successful he'd be a bad ass. But since he failed he's an idiot.

He only would have been a bad azz on THT or Continuous Wave, pretty sure most here still would have poked fun.
