You could buy a donzi, or a Baja with a custom bent swim platform made for jumping big waves. Just my 2 cents

I know! That's what we call Tuesday around here. Shallow bay, a little bit of wind, a few boats and there is no way to hit them just right so you just have to drive through it and I have a 19' boat. A 40' skater would be like driving a cruise ship.

I agree.. here`s 2 videos that kinda illustrate that point taken 5 minutes apart (even thou it was kinda snotty the Go pro makes it look flat)


Slow and steady.. waves break closer to the bow and the ride is worse
