Catamarans handle following seas very well, that cat didn’t even come close to broaching ..!

Australians...surf with anything, boards, boats, kangaroos

i have never seen a kangaroo swim and i'm Australian that goes to the Gold Coast a lot nearly every month by car from Brisbane and yes my family owns a boat. Not all Australians surf. No Australians don't swim with Kangaroos and they can kick very hard and the tall ones are very strong. I have seen 6 feet tall male Kangaroos. Call Australia Zoo up on the phone and ask them. If they are found in the cities the police will try and control them even on the beach and get a truck out to put them in before any person on the beach gets by one.

Chris Vonhof Even if it was (which I doubt it very much) the straddy side is all ways worse and he is on the straddy side ,inexperienced clearly and should have stuck to the spit side as any local would know.

Rompa Stompa did you not read my comment. THAT DAY, meaning I was there and witnessed the vessel coming in. Clearly you're just a surfer with no nautical experience. Trust me he wasn't on the TOS wall, you wouldn't bring a vessel in that close to any seaway wall in those conditions. I'm local man I've surfed the seaway, wavebreak and TOS for a long time and been using the seaway even before this one was built back in the mid 80's. Anyway ole mate did the best he could under those conditions with a good outcome.

Chris Vonhof No need to cry champ! I read it and have seen other footage and he was clearly on the tos side .You can tell in that footage exactly where he was.He tried to come straight down the middle but drifted off to the tos side and nearly got caught out bad.And I never said he was near the wall? He clearly wasn't,what I said was he was on the wrong side and he was! It has NEVER and will NEVER break like that on the spit side. And as for experience I have taken many boats in and out of there for over 30 years in good and bad conditions. Including a 70ft dyna craft in 6m with 40 knots on it .And I have never had a issue, only the inexperienced do. Any one with any real experience knows if you are coming from Sydney or Port Stephens and if you hit bad sea and your past Trial bay you have to keep running till you get to south port ,try and bring it in at ballina or where ever and you will be taking a unnecessary risk(with typical SE swell and wind directions) ..So clearly I am a surfer with more nautical experience in my little finger than this guy has.

@@chrisso4869 - no, the best he could do under the conditions was to stay the f@ck away! As a sailor I can tell you that it was way way WAY more luck than any skill the skipper possessed that made this anything less than a tragedy. As a skipper you have the lives of your crew to consider and while stuff like this looks thrilling and a display of good seamanship to the layperson, it is really a display of the exact opposite. In his defence it is hard to see the extent of surf action from the ocean side so I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt and say he probably had no idea what he was getting himself into until it was way too late. Just pleased it all ended well.
