Seen it all over the other power boating forums I go to. Today pics got posted and shows it broke the boat in half almost all the way through from top down. Looks like it was snapped like a twig. I have not seen what the story was besides stupid, and no reports of how well the people did.

maybe he was short on cash and needed the insurace money when they total the boat...... come on who in their right mind would take any boat over that kind of surf. its not a stand up jet-ski

I guess when the alternative is getting rolled onto the beach and swamped.....

This idiot should never have gotten his boat in the surf zone.
