[@DonTruman]

Highly advised for anyone navigating Haulover to watch that. Rule #1: keep your bow above the water, especially if you have an open bow. Rule #2: make sure your boat is suitable for the current conditions. Bigger waves = bigger boat. Rule #3: "lake boats" aren't made for the ocean. Lake boats have shallow draft and downturned bows. Stay in the harbor with lake boats. Rule #4: if you take even one wave over the bow, turn around and go back in. With each wave you're getting heavier and sinking deeper, which means the next wave will dump even more water inside your boat. It's a downward spiral, then it's too late. Rule #5: secure all passengers before entering rough water. Rule #6: no passengers in open bow in rough water (judgement call, based on size of vessel vs size of waves). Rule #7: wearing floatation devices in rough water highly advised, kids especially. At the very least have them handy, and in sufficient numbers for all passengers.

[@pamfrank3962]

I've spent years as an ocean tour guide in large rigid hull inflatables on the coast. It amazes me that some of these boats are clearly expensive, and yet the operators don't know how to run them and are clearly put their passengers lives at risk. Either they don't have to take a safe boating course or are too arrogant to take one. It's not just the risk of swamping or having a passenger in the water without a life jacket, it's the damage you can do to someone especially if they are on the bow of the boat when a wave tosses them into the air. There are plenty of hard things to land on, like handlebars and the deck itself, or even landing hard on your tailbone or back. To put anyone in the front section of a small boat in high frequency waves is incredibly irresponsible... you can see the slingshot coming from a mile away. Also the happy faces turn to fear very quickly after the first dunking. Amazing video and very educational.

My rules are (as skipper) NO alcohol under any circumstances, lifejackets on at all times, one adult with every child and I give instruction to everyone on what to do if someone goes overboard. The water here is very cold about 10 degrees so hyperthermia begins to set in after about 10 minutes and finally everyone has to be able to swim.

For all those that think you just gotta speed up, you're just as daft as these fools in the video. Boat length, engine capabilities, wave height and distance between troughs all need to be considered continuously. Slowing down can be the answer in many cases. Know your boats capabilities, how to trim and when, and know when to stay in port.

[@butchjohnson3159]

Hit those waves at an angle and let the boat roll a little. If you notice, when they get to the turn, they stuff much less. It's those head on fools that keep sinking them.

I live near the mouth of the Columbia. I have seen everything imaginable trying to cross the bar into the pacific. Only difference is, here, the water is about 40 to 50 deg most of the year. People as a whole are stupid....

[@terryberg]

Never stay in port! The rougher it is, the more fun and challenging it is..... but you have to be sober and know what the hell you are doing. Know when to accelerate and when not to. Know when to put the weight towards the back and not all at the front, especially the big fat people. And that little 100gph bilge pump just isn't gonna pump out that 100 gallons of water before the next 100 and then the next 100. That old dude didn't want to put his beer down long enough to pick his wife up off the deck did he lol.

[@jerrytobin88]

Totally, And some days you're just gonna eat it No matter what you do. My inlet is Ponce nowhere near this rough. But we have disappearing island which is different type of hazzard People just want to get drunk and get in a fight and then all of the sudden a day at the beach will break out.( Terrifying)

[@moonchung101]

Also is there a better spot in the channel to cross. You think they would find the point of least resistance. It’s like all the dummies trying to prove how little they know about boating and the ocean. I see plenty of people with expensive boats with no knowledge of how to operate them.

[@AlexErika]

In all seriousness, it's appalling how few people have life preservers on especially kids. The back problems I would have owning a boat at this inlet would cause me to sell the boat. Is this the inlet into Miami? This is wild!

[@guywiththepixelatedface1260]

Hello guys from South Africa, I have questions. I only ever did my fresh water inland skipper's, and I don't even have a boat currently. But I'd love to know more anyways. When it's stated that the exit (or entry) was bad, what was it? What should the skipper have done differently? Forget the PFD stuff. Just the driving. From the little that I can see it seems like a constant throttle setting gets the guys in trouble? That a idle, or low throttle just before the crest, or on the crest should be used? Something along those lines? The throttle has to be changed as waves are negotiated. I also see a lot of bowriders with people in the nose, lowering the nose, yet the trim seems to be neutral or full down. My instinct would be to trim up, so you can raise the nose if the shit is about to hit the fan, but I don't even know if that is right. What's the procedure? Just in general. I loved a comment somewhere that an inlet will actually generate some standing waves, as the tide comes in. That was really helpful, and made a ton of sense.

[@douglashedenkamp1087]

I'm no expert, and if I saw conditions like that I would turn around immediately no matter what boat I was in. That is probably the original and biggest sin in these videos, in my opinion. However, I do have some experience with an open bow "lake" boat on the ocean. In my experience, taking the waves at an angle, and going slower makes it much less likely that water is going over the bow. I haven't tried trimming up, and I don't think that would work, because when your nose gets too high, that is when the problem starts--what goes up must come down. The higher the bow is on the upside of the wave, the faster it is going to slam down on the back side of the wave, which is what leads you to dive into the face of the next wave. So I would try to go slow enough to have a little bow rise (but certainly not on plane) and take the waves at an angle. Perhaps if a big wave comes out of nowhere, give it a little throttle just enough to get the bow over the crest, but as soon as the bow gets over the crest, throttle back down a touch so you don't launch off the wave with your bow high in the air. Even going relatively slow and taking an angle isn't foolproof, however, because waves don't always come from the same direction. You might be turned at an angle to the prevailing surf, and a wave could come straight at you from a different direction (particularly in an inlet where the waves can reflect off the jetty). So you need to (1) know the conditions your boat can handle and be conservative about going out when surf is up, and (2) even on a good day you better have multiple bilge pumps in any boat that is going out on the ocean, cause sometimes water will get in no matter what you do.

[@emeryjohnson1264]

The captain really should have made a executive decision and explained to everyone how dangerous the situation is and either planned for a different day.

[@davidrowden338]

It appears the inlet took care of the excess ballast in the bowrider by throwing people overboard without life jackets. Idiots. The very first thing you are told when you purchase a bowrider is never have anyone forward when the water is rough or you are moving at high speed.

While I enjoyed this video, it was so frustrating to see children in the bow of the boats without any life jackets on! One wrong move and the kid goes overboard. As others have said already, such carelessness should be criminal.

[@Alvin-1138]

I love these channels, but honestly I usually avoid this compilation, because I view some of those as child endangerment (and passenger endangerment 😉) more than entertainment. And several of these folks are receiving occult spinal injuries as well. Still a loyal fan of the channel but very frustrating to safe boaters.

[@markdonnelly1913]

Not just thrown overboard, but violently smacked around in the process. If a child (or an adult for that fact) gets knocked unconcious from a hitting their head while being tossed out, they could easily drown before help could get to them.

You never see anyone in a PFD in these videos, not even the kids. I’ve watched 100s of them and could count on two fingers how many times I’ve seen a child in a PFD. And they love to send the kids up front every time, at the worst time. Sadly, it’ll probably take the death of a kid before anything changes. I live on the ocean and you’d NEVER see kids without one on, and if you did everyone around would say something.

[@RMNornes]

Honest question, what is the right way to deal with this kind of inlet with that kind of waves? I mean, some of those boats looked damn big and really struggled. Better to power through at a high speed and try to stay on top? Just don't attempt unless your running a huge boat?

[@southstreetbarbecue7875]

wrong... first thing you need to learn in what conditions your boat will work 100%, then learn something about weather and predicting sea conditions ... then learn how to handle it in rough sea :D i made the same mistake. got caught out in a hurricane cause of lack of weather kknowledge. thank got the sailing boat was rated for open ocean or we would not be having this conversation.

No boater here just curious what are they supposed to do to once they’re caught up in these waves? I know the obvious check condition, life jackets etc before going out but now that there’re there how do you get to safety?

[@louisavondart9178]

Everyone in the back of the boat to lift the bow. Apply power to ride the wave up, cut power at the crest of the wave ( as the bow starts to drop ) and glide down into the trough. Add power to ride up the next wave. Rinse and repeat. Only use enough power to keep moving and not fly off the crest of the waves. Too much power and you crash down into the trough and the bow will be too low to avoid " stuffing " it into the next wave. A closed bow can take it but an open bow floods real fast.
