I'm sure auto correct kicked in and you meant to say pro diver.

I can't remember where I read it, but it said the guy in the back seat who does the face plant was a reporter who was only going along for the ride. I think it was his Go-Pro. The water was so rough a number of the Poker Run guys called it quits. The boat went air borne and did a 180 deg. turn in the air. I think this crash generated a few lawsuits. Maybe the pro, not so pro anymore. Unless you can be a pro without a boat, which I guess is possible if anyone is dense enough to let you drive theirs after watching the video.

Maybe fake news, who knows anymore.

That guy was negligent in how he was driving.

Again our whole family was sickened when we saw that video. Those poor people should have never gone through that with him. He put every one of them at an unnecessary risk of dying.

If he did not have an umbrella policy, I bet he has one now.

With a notched hull. Has bad written all over it.
One person is way in the cuddy you can't see and is all messed up. It was really bad. I think I saw different angles of it somewhere.

BB dead on pal

All kidding aside.. we'll just for a moment..

Twin step hulls are loose and turning them with drives tucked or overtrimmed can be twitchy..
He wash chopping throttles and pushing them to the dash over a wave and hooked it on entry..
Like landing a jets ski crooked and it wants to spit you off..

I heard what you guys did too...
broken backs.. hips.. eye sockets collapsed. Broken femurs..

That's when it hit me ..Those lovely cross wakes as you come up on a couple of surf boats that turn your boat into a chine surfing heartattack.

We've all been there.. question is lift off throttles and regroup?? or motor through it??

I lift

Hopefully, you're talkin' about the 282 vid and not the "7person smash" vid (although I'd watch out for that guy as well...in a different way ;) ).
