i would piss myself in those conditions

Never!

Abosutely mate this is nothing compared to Lucifers inlet in Australia. Huge surf and salt water crocs waiting for someone to fall in.

I've been out in similar conditions in a 17.5' kayak...challenging but fun!

30ft sailboat no problem

Had a similar experience in Nazare when I was a child, and I wasn’t even into surfing. I told my cousin that those waves seemed pretty fun to swim into because it still seemed kind of calm to swim to a small thing that was floating in the water 50m away from the shore. For obvious reasons no one was in the sea that afternoon. And for obvious reasons there was actually a red flag hanging there. Man.. When the tide started changing drastically, that spot transformed into a washing machine sucking you back in the ocean. No matter how hard I tried to swim back to shore. Which left me with one more option because I started to get tired. Just letting a wave knock me out cold into the shore. When you find yourself in a spot like that, it’s hard not to panic without any experience with situations like these. Definitely never gonna do that again either.

Where do you live now? Did you not keep in touch with this girl?

your right,nobody cares--your boring

@@oscarcat1231 Hello! We continued talking throughout the following year between 2016 and 2017 regularly, but gradually we lost touch. Currently, we're connected on Instagram and occasionally exchange greetings (usually on Christmas and birthdays). After the summer of 2016, I returned to Spain to continue with university, and she moved to Vancouver, BC, where she currently lives with her boyfriend. On the other hand, I moved to Málaga (Andalusia, Spain) and also live with my girlfriend here. It was a beautiful summer, and both of us have good memories of that time. I think one of the most beautiful things was knowing that it had an expiration date since from the very beginning, she knew I was going back to Spain, and she told me she was going to Canada at the end of September that year. If we ever meet again, we'll have a coffee, and meanwhile, thanks to social media, we stay in touch in one way or another. I know it might sound a bit "Mr. Wonderful," but I like to make the most of all moments for things like this. If you ever have the opportunity to travel or make plans that are outside your comfort zone, do them. The first time I went to France (that summer of 2016), I hesitated a lot and almost didn't do it, but I'm really glad I made that decision. Thank you very much for asking. Writing all of this has made me remember and even look at the photos saved on the external hard drive from that summer. A hug! :)

I'm a fan of sailboats. If you have a reasonably large one, this kind of waves is no problem (you just have to have a bit of an idea what you're doing, as shown by the boat at 0:33). Going out for a bit of strong wind sailing, then coming back for dinner can be fun! :-)

@@charonstyxferryman on the boats I've been on, the helmsman also calls the maneuvers. He doesn't need to be the skipper, but while he's at the helm, he controls the operation of the boat. As you said, it might be different in a regatta, the skipper/strategist might interrupt him for navigational command, e.g. changing the course to get more speed or get closer to the turning buoy. You know more about teaching than I do. :-)

The sailor in that "big" sailboat were too sloow to have response and too fast to turn. In a sailboat you almost don't need to correct the course, they do alone.

Going over a bar with breaking ground seas ain''t what You usually find out there. Why do boats leave the roadstead and go _out_ in a storm when no sheltered lee-side anchorage is available? Because in deep water, those steep, short, breaking waves can only build in strong storm-against- strong current conditions.

sailboats aren’t designed to be sailed in breaking waves like this. the boat isn’t supposed to be where it is…

my pleasure! Thanks for watching

Neanche se mi regalano un vacca che piscia caffè

Yet neither of them were wearing lifejackets. Thats plain stupidity.

Hahaha nice one ! Have to love the French humor. Regards from Portugal

What's a Pfhishing boat and what's a ball . Get a job .

Only takes 1 time and you learn . But you may learn without a second chance .People are Stupid . Most often don't get a second chance in cold water. He'll some are so stupid they can't dog paddle or know how to just keep air in the lungs and you'll float for days . But they panic start flailing around till they breath in a breath of water.

@@jimmyfumbanks6081Get culture retard 😄

What

Ventura harbor entrance is brutal😅

I visited Capreton one weekend a few months ago, and I had never seen waves like that, not even on the worst filming day at Haulover.

I think Haulover looks so bad because of an abundance of truly brain dead sailors. At least half of them shouldn't even own a boat.

saludos!!

OK, Kong, what’s a RIB?

​@@kriley9386ridgid inflatable boat. Hard bottom zodiac

Agree

Sailboats are really good in heavy weather. They are typically much heavier than powerboats of the same size so head on they push through waves way better than powerboats and because of heavy deep keels they stay upright. It is very hard to capsize a sailboat and if you do they pick themselves right back up. If you are caught in a seriously bad storm in a sailboat what you do is drop sails preferably drop a sea anchor to keep your bow towards the waves go inside and close all hatches. Even if your boat turns completely upside down it will turn back over. Shit will break thats for sure but it’s better than ending up on the bottom of the sea.

Which one is that?

@@TheSonjaxfactor Tat was in reference o the boat at the 7:15 mark

Yes, very nice. Obviously experienced on how to handle that particular boat. Very smooth.

Thank you very much!

Indeed, they look MUCH bigger.

The rudder big enough? If that was the case I think a lot of vessels would have much larger rudders

The rudder? Do you mean the keel? If so, the answer is yes.

Our pleasure

more footage coming...stay tuned

Tuned?

1:30 It's a great day to go out in a small craft.

It's like you're having an entire conversation with yourself.

buddy there's a difference between a lake and an ocean

@@sharkansas_ Ever been on any of the great lakes? 12 foot swells are 12 foot swells regardless of salinity. And 700 footers have been snapped in the great lakes.

@@genefogarty5395 Lake Erie with surf... Lake Superior with mountain rollers... When the squalls kick the water churns!

@@genefogarty5395 I know how the lakes work but to act like these guys are fools because they were on the ocean for 30 mins before a storm came in is brain dead logic

I am not sure where this is, but, clearly, it is a very large body of water -- not an inland lake.

may you please send me an email boat.zone.video@gmail.com

300 miles offshore is not a great starting point for finding a protected anchorage. Next time head for land 😜

Cool story but needs more dragons.

The camera will be rolling... just give us a heads up.

Is it a Hobie 16? This I would like to watch (I sailed a 16 more than 20 years ago).

Because this is what Cap Breton is like half the year? It's normal there to go out in those conditions.

You ever been on a boat most of the ocean is like that half the time.

I spent a weekend a few months ago. Beautiful place, insane waves.

Ive gone out on a day wind forecast none 3-4knts. Bright sunny sky not a cloud. Flat glass sea. And by 2pm afternoon it was a squall with choppy waves similar to these. And weather forecast was still no worries mate. Every one plans to go out in the best conditions but at least be prepared for this kind of weather.

Pourquoi, parce-que le français corsaire.....cher ami américain...... vous Miami string, nous.....vent vent, guerre guerre

Hilarious post, love it.

I looked on the map and it looks like there is a larger inlet from a. river a few miles south, so maybe some of the smaller vessels are trying to get there

Believe it or not, there are many people (admittedly a minority) who actually enjoy conditions like these (and worse). Once you get your sea legs, and the risk of sea sickness has passed, and you have confidence in yourself and your boat, it can be a perverse pleasure to get bounced around like this. At this moment, there are thousands of amateurs, not wearing government issued costumes or badges, crossing oceans in small boats in worse conditions than these. And they're doing it for pleasure, not money. But it's not confined to sail. Tens of thousands of people endure pain and exhaustion to run 26 miles as fast as they can in races that don't need to be run, or exhaust and freeze themselves and risk their lives climbing mountains that don't need to be climbed. It's part of being alive and not being afraid of either nature or their own shadows. My hat's off to them.

@@philmann3476 For over a decade I’ve made a living as a licensed captain in the northeast, spent several years aboard a commercial fishing vessel prior to that, and am a lifelong member of a boating family, so I’m no stranger to bad conditions, or to the fun of embarking on adventures, but I like mine to involve something beyond suffering. I guess the novelty of getting thrashed around senselessly is lost on me, especially when career experience has taught me that most of these people are ill prepared to deal with the inherent problems associated with venturing out in bad conditions. There’s calculated risk, sure, but this is something else.

Thanks for the info

💯

Nobody mentioned anything about Haulover in the video or title. FYI, the waves in Capbreton are much worse than those in Haulover

@@BoatZone You might want to take a look at the description.

@@BoatZone It says Haulover Inlet in the videos description.

@@bitslammer My apologies, the description is automatically generated in the videos. It has already been fixed. Thank you for the heads up.

Extreme tubing 😂😂

For fun.

​@@AttitudeCharteryou took the words out of my mouth.

@@Jack-tx2ve Hahahaha

They are living life. Unlike you, wasting away on the couch commenting on UKposts videos.

😂😂😂

yeah… well you wouldn’t want to be out on a zodiac with 50 kts of blow..

maybe it is "cold" there. no idea. We just bought a cruisers yachts 3470 with twin yanmar turbo diesels. and when we brought it to our marina it was still pre season and pretty chilly. when going in higher rpm ( above 2000) we also got a good amount of white smoke. engine temp etc. all good. now it is summer over here and no more white smoke. so this also was steam because of lower air and water temp. Or maybe the engine is running full throttle and is in need of some love and therefor is smoking a bit more then normal. or you are just right and the impeller is toast. I don't know. What I do know is that I am glad my marina does not have an exit like this. Pretty risky. I am not sure if this is most of the time like this or just in high wind conditions but this would not make me happy with a bigger boat. With a jetski or quick agile rib it is fun.

@@skunkjobb On my boat they are called "water lift exhausts" I believe.

no idea why they went out other than to surf back in.. maybe the guy wanted to show off for the girl.

@@dextersxxxxlab A little "steam" is not unusual in cold weather. That boat looks to be overheating which is not surprising trying to motor those conditions.

Nah, undertow doesn’t pull down and submerge buoyant objects 😂

​@@BikingVikingHHoh yes it will, if it is strong enough. Been there, done that. No fun.
