Starting from the way he rigs a sail this ought to be pretty much the stupidest video I have seen in a while ...

Very entertaining. Brought back some scary memories.

Legend!

Mate, that does not look like a user friendly place for a windsurf!

Calculated the risk, and took it by the short and curly. Well sailed, there are not many this brave... as above legend

Nice movie - thanks for sharing. Reminds me too of some scary moments,....

I was sitting on the edge of my seat saying come on get a gust!!

Is this an introductory video for those wanting to start out in wave sailing?

The introductory video was Shark Island 1, available in the wavesailing forum. It shows you how to select a good launch spot.

Is that the launch spot for the rescue launch?

Dear Surfer,
Congratulations however you should protect your feet. Put the boots in your wetsuit. Don't use it while surfing.When you go out put on your boots. I do the same thing.
Bye Melih..

Hi mate,

hope this video is more to your liking:



I haven't watched it, probably why I'm so bad at rigging.

Dunc I think you should watch this.

Okay, that just hurt to watch him drill into the workbench.... Honestly, if any one actually needed this tutorial, I wouldn't trust them with power tools.

Love the videos. Keep them coming.! Much respect to the rider as others have said.

Haha true mate... how's the hole in the bench!

Absolute fun to watch. He definitely knows the spot well. Great skill. Brave man. I don't know why he needs to take that much risk to launch. Looks like there are some bit better spots when the shoreline is shown in the video from the drone. Maybe private property.. who knows.
It also looks like he really needs a better drive from that board. Maybe makes sense to switch from Pyramid to a faster rocker that also considering that in most cases looks like he bottom/top turns pushing more on fins than using board's shape/volume.

Can you guys share the google maps link to that spot?

Thanks

Wow that was thrilling, exciting, scary, exhausting and suspenseful. Well done DuncO and good drone work by your offsider. Bet you were glad to get back in relatively unscathed lol.

I love the way you didn't add music and just left the sound of the surf. It really gave atmosphere , drew you in and made you feel part of the action and suspense..

Cheers yeah the natural sounds are more in keeping with the reality of sailing out there.

So, sooooo agree. Much prefer that real sound to the usually very average music they gets attached to vids.

Haha woops

Haha, there is a Shark Island on Sydney Harbour, but here's the link to the other Shark Island at Cronulla, where this video is shot.

Most of the wave sailing at Cronulla is done a little further to the north from the beach near Wanda.

That looks better.. I was matching the scenery with the video and it didn't make sense..

Good.... but needs more star wipes
