Brutal. We've got one in Crescent city that's similar, but with more exposed rocks surrounding it. Now they use helicopters here.

Adrenalin junkies only need apply... Helicopters might be okay in still air - but wouldn't be much of an improvement insofar as risk is concerned if there was any kind of wind blowing...

I believe this is a duplicate of

You should see it on an actual windy day.

This video has been nominated as a duplicate of this video by eric3579. If this nomination is seconded with *isdupe, the video will be killed and its votes transferred to the original.

I didn't post it, I just remember seeing it several years ago.

Oh sorry, been busy; but yes, it's a dupe---still amazed by the small boat handling skills here.
Thanks for notice!
