Boat launch in big shorebreak waves New Zealand 90 mile beach

boat launches on beach through big shorebreak barely makes it out between sets

[@renee9113]

Awww that’s our old neighbour at shipwrecks bay. He could launch a boat in any weather. Awesome old man he was!!

[@skateboardkid420]

Yeah he definitely knew what he as doing made it look easy. I had enough trouble trying to go out on a surfboard.

[@kaimus808]

That tractor is crazy😮

[@annettelane659]

Great video, it shows how beautiful ninety mile beach really is. With the shore break, its not an easy launch for a fishing boat. Good job people, well done.

[@samallan3356]

Bit of horse power in that tractor

[@1998TDM]

Yeah, bro spud. A lovely day on 90 mile. They fish in insane conditions, the launch is the easiest part of their day. Pulling cray pots in the reefs when it's pumping is where the fun is at. Exceedingly large nuts on those lads.

[@kaimus808]

Epic boat launching

[@MrOmarkiam]

does anyone know the builder/make of that cat? looks industrial strength to me. Great launch.

[@1998TDM]

It's specially made, used as a cray boat and they also do fishing charters. Wildcat fishing IIRC, the Moro brothers. The "thinnest" alloy on the boat is 9mm. Last time I was out with them they had twin 350 mercs. As said that's quite a calm day. The guys often have pots inside of reef breaks and they duck in, in between wave sets to lift or drop them. The boat has to be able to accelerate out when a set hits so they don't get reefed. It's an incredible operation! Oh, fantastic fishing charter, too. It's like Jurassic park out there. The Tasman often pumps 6mtr swells and gets a lot heavier!

[@thebrospud4585]

I know the guy who owns that boat he's a real good guy and this is calm compared to other days

[@griffinnathan476]

not sure if anyone gives a damn but if you're stoned like me atm then you can stream all of the new movies on instaflixxer. Been watching with my girlfriend for the last couple of weeks =)

@Griffin Nathan Yup, have been watching on instaflixxer for months myself =)

Nice video Looks fun

[@zuluamuse]

Agree with Andre, come see the real deal in SA. Get in the channel get on a plane draw figures of eight so you are punching the foamies, in a cat almost chest on but at slight angle, to avoid it bucking, don't panic, don't creep to the backline until the sets lay down they inevitably always will.Did this for years in S Africa Umdloti beach.When on the plane you can go into your corners with momentum even tapping off slightly to avoid cavitation. If cavitation back off then apply power gradually.

[@andrewiida9507]

Crazy. How the he'll do they trailer it when they come in??

[@thegoldman246]

me to probably a reversible trailer

[@howzit5406]

They beach the craft, drag it over the sand and then winch it up on the trailer

[@renee9113]

@@howzit5406 no not this one 🤦‍♀️ that’s what all the city folk do. This boat is too big to drag.

[@howzit5406]

@@renee9113 the boat gets hitched where it beaches and dragged over the sand on to the trailer with the winch. You don’t drive the boat up on the trailer as you would on a boat ramp with incoming swell. FYI that’s a aluminium boat, light for its size.

[@renee9113]

@@howzit5406 I’m telling you what I know he does. That’s why he has a tractor. He doesn’t drag his boat. Same way he offloads he loads it. He goes out on an outgoing tide and returns on the incoming tide.

[@zuluamuse]

Skateboardkid... They call deep sea fishing boats just like this cat in the vid a "ski boat" in South Africa, they don't mean something you tow people just strange different names I admit it can get a little confusing. Cheers!

[@richardgiles2484]

Why didn't they get in the boat when it was on the trailer? Would have been much safer

[@aarondavis7988]

Is that the morro boys

[@barryjames9335]

coock strait is the ruffets beach in nz

[@annakeye]

*+Barry James* Your comment makes absolutely no sense. And I don't just mean the spelling. There is no such place as *coock strait* and I don't know what *ruffets beach* is. Or where. Ohh.., right, I get it. Cook Strait. Which most certainly is +not+ a beach but it can be a challenging 23 kilometre stretch of water. And it is beautiful. After you've done your remedial English lessons, perhaps you may want to take a cruise on the Inter island Ferry. No matter what the weather, it is always a fabulous trip.

[@ryanfreimark1944]

According to top gear the beach is not actually 90 miles long haha

[@renee9113]

That’s right it’s a lot shorter but that name was given back in the old days by the European settlers who had no way of measuring but by the distance their horse’s could travel. Quite interesting really.

[@hottropic1000]

I would like to see how they they get the fucking boat back on the trailer ,reverse and all

[@renee9113]

The owner would drift it in on the back of his trailer no worries. Be good if there was a video yeah. His tractor was famous for pulling all the others out that got stuck 😂 in the water

[@TheBeaker59]

Look like my cousins, those guys know what they are doing, they do it there cos they live there, and the fishing is great, snapper kingfish marlin Tuna and all the rest. They don't do it because they want to be harder than a few dumb South Africans they do it because its home. Tractor needs new air filters Guys.

[@jasonm1287]

Are u kidding me . Those waves big ??? Come to South Africa . On the wild coast . U should see how we launch our boats . !!!! U will be amazed !! ( awesome video!!)

[@suzuki456bpt]

of course mate, south Africans have done everything bigger and better than anyone else

[@lukepaul2882]

Jason Mc Mahon lol that's a calm day there buddy. That's the Wild West coast. Ain't no fucking round out there

[@BOONGZ1]

Who would want to go to South Africa tho

[@kennethrangi9848]

The only thing you white south Africans need to worry about are the big wave of blacks in your backyard wanting there land back!! Then yous all seem to end up in Aus or nz any ways shearing our waves num nut
