    According to the quotes on the YouTube vid (including a repost by the NZHerald), all ended well.

    Nothing like a long lens and appropriate angle to increase the visual impact...

    Looks like they were just waiting for the right wave set to get over what looks like a pretty tricky sandbar.

    That's what "local knowledge" is all about.

    fishing boats

    I think it is Graymouth that has a reputation as such a bar.
    As for the comment about boat handling I think they are doing all they can.
    The waves pick you up and "have their way" with you
    I have crossed a few in my time
    Note the broken stabilizer on the starboard side. That can be a worry with the other still in the water. (pull to one side.)
    Good shots and a bit goulish to be watching for a disaster but that is human nature.
    Make fish look REAL cheap when you see it in the shops!
    Regards Nick.

    As per normal your absolutely correct Superquag ...it is all trick photography and the swell was only 2 foot peaking at 3 feet. ...

    Yeah right ...


    PS ...I heard it was just a case of them wanting to get home to watch the Bledisloe Cup ...
