Waterjet Propulsion boats were first developed in NZ by Sir William Hamilton who started out in 1939 at Irishmans Creek. They are the only way to get up the braided rivers of NZ.
...............considering that ALL of New Zealand has only 4,775,000 people in a country that's more than 100,000 square miles in size.................(8^)
ULTRA NOOB wow. I make a comment about a helmet and a life preserver and I don't know about water sports. your name is very fitting. ultra noob. perfect
New Zealand, like most shitty countries in this overly-regulated world, requires a properly sized life jacket for every person on board.... considering the size of the boat, it's probably just as easy to wear it as stow it.
This is extremely impressive. Both the driving and the fact that the boat can run in a couple inches of water and make it over rocks. 6:10 was so good.
Listening to 1ZB talkback on that sweet headset radio while fanging a mini jetboat in literally centimetres of water. Entertaining! Love NZ. Scenery is amazing. Perspective works really well.
I don't care if this is a year old comment! Theirs a company that offers rides through the mountains where Lord of the rings was filmed. 12 people in the boat, can travel on 30cm of water, the arsehole driving then decides to start doing 360's. The most amazing country I've ever been too
this really makes me miss home . l was a young kid live just down the road from where this was taken I've lived in aus for the past 25 years . It doesn't get any better than this great vid bud 👍👍👍👍
Jet boating was crazy fun! Last summer or their winter, I went in the freezing cold and it was an amazing experience. What so cool is that the boat barely touches the waters surface so you’re literally flying and can get crazy close to the shore and make impossible turns!
A Most excellent example of shallow draft boating as I have ever seen. Few people are actually away of how serious a sport it is . Well Done. G'Day Mate.
Crazy ride and beautiful scenery. And, this guy appears so relaxed throughout, like another walk in the park. maybe a galvanized steel plate can be fitted to assist in the hull life? This man knows how to live.
Breathtaking scenery and video nice. Great tune for the video. I can't help but think what a pristine place this is...until every thrill seeking headcase comes along and there it goes. Great video though. !
Hey brother , I live in B.C Canada and we do this all the time in 2 feet of water or less. That mini looks like a blast ! That landscape is beautiful. Keep going up river!!
Vous m’avez fait rêver 😍 Ma gni fi que !!!!! Splendide , Aérien tout en étant sur l’eau ! Et ces sensations d’être dans un jeu vidéo. Extra la Musique ! Je vous félicite 👍
👍👍👍 From Russia Это очень круто! Чувствуется, что фарватер знаком, но при этом маршрут о-очень сложный!!! Для тех, кто не знает - особенно сложен при движении вниз по течению!!! P. S. You like ZZ Top, man!!! 😉
So Cool! I used to drive a Jet Boat similar to this one. A small 14ft Boston Whaler with a 115hp OMC . They only made them for a few years i think, they were INSANELY fast, but I was lucky enough to have one and would tear ass around tiny back waterways. Some were only a few inches deep and 4 ft wide in sections, but you take it to a whole other level! this looks insane and great fun, plus your view is MUCH nicer than NJ back waters lol. Great video! Made me a bit nostalgic...
beautiful....... river . beautiful jet boat ........ beautiful country............ amazing ... I wish in my country in Saudi Arabia river like this just a river ........ new Zealand is wonderful....😍😍😍😍😍😍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏
I gotta do this!! Near flawless operation!! Love that 360 you you attempted to perform. I used to run my JetJon here in America up rivers that had many obstacles learned the drift techniques and how to read the rivers very well. Yet this, this rightcheer tops everything I have ever known. 😱.. I must master this by any means!!!
Ha ha yeah , by a farmer who wanted a faster and better way to check on his stock . It was in an area not too far from this very river . Remember watching the black and white video just after Hamilton invented it . Dam I'm getting old !
i watched this video when it came out over 6 years ago...still watch it from time to time...so peacefull...love the music
If you are interested, the music up to 6:27 is Greenland, by Emancipator ruclips.net/video/AsdNua632p0/видео.html
+1
Little known fact- that five gallon red tank has water in it. Just enough to get home if the river runs dry.
minimoto23 Dad joke!....lol
minimoto23 😂😂😂
I could drive my truck through most of that.
ахаха
XD
Must have seen this movie 50 times. Amazed everytime of the river and it's surroundings. The music is perfect for this scenery. Greetings from Sweden.
It was a perfect day to go up there, I normally get up there in the boat 2-3 times a year, thanks for watching
No big deal.
Just cruising through middle earth on my speed boat...
Well since middle earth is in New Zealand, I would say no.
In Lord Of The Rings, not reality.
No, the term is equivalent to what it's being applied to.
Just give it up, man...
Nothing was metaphorical about my comment, but okay.
Nik Murphy don't worry the majority of the people who read it understand
Thank you internet for the ability to see all the beautiful corners of the Earth
Mike Asterios see them for yourself! it’s not that hard
@@jakedeutscher ofc not that hard.When u live in 1 of the shittest countrys in the world)))Called Ukraine xD

His Camera man is outstanding, standing the whole time with out falling
Its good that the pole is sturdy that the cameras attached too
@@Daniel-gr2qq not surprised, polish people make excellent cameramen, outstanding people and very traditional
Une caméra arrière 😁 fixe 👍
Not gonna lie. I was mesmerized by this video. Looks like a trip to heaven.
never seen someone hillclimb a boat
i don't think Ive ever seen more beautiful place. so open spaces, large, wonderful. would love to go there.

+nudist0885 for square miles.....?
nudist0885 we don't use miles here lol
Scott Brunner i want to cry lol
nudist0885 also sheep out number humans 10 to 1. And now cattle i believe
I appreciate you video. It's the only way I'd ever get to see such beauty and your skill at handling the craft. Thanks.
What lovely land you have in New Zealand. I'm from Western Australia and I have never seen a mountain, snow or rivers like this.
Lord Humungous Austrailia is beautiful also .love Perth city and swan river
Epic ride, with a cool dude, in a rippin jetter with all that breathtaking beauty all around. Too awesome bro👍a million thanks for sharing 🙌🍻
You New Zelanders have way to much fun!! Looks like an awesome adventure!! Thanks for the videos
Don't know what's more awesome, the jet boat or the dudes majestic beard.
Dude is a wizard!
Ha! I thought he was wearing a scarf 🤣🤣
@@CaptainSkidmark74 you’re a boat guy Harry…
Absolutely amazing! Such beautiful scenery and was shocked how shallow water was . Wonderful music also.
I've decided to migrate to New Zealand and become a boat. Please drive me.
Seriously? Lol 😂
Hahahahahaha
Suco Vidya+ that sounds hella gay
Bring beers.Lots of em.
Lmao
probably need to trade that life preserver in for a helmet. your not gonna drown in 2 inches of water.
ULTRA NOOB wow. I make a comment about a helmet and a life preserver and I don't know about water sports. your name is very fitting. ultra noob. perfect
ULTRA NOOB fucking destroyed

your first sentence is extremely false. Use some logic lmfao...
Hahhahah zz top dude nearly went rocking and rolling ass up ... head first into all them rocks ...needs a helmet l reackon

Breaking good your comment should have the most likes
Hes still in Rohan
The BEST small jet video clip ever. Excellent scenery & top class (in sympathy) music. Congratulations
I could watch this all day !! 😍🌈🌞🌄🏜🗻⛰🛶
This is extremely impressive. Both the driving and the fact that the boat can run in a couple inches of water and make it over rocks.

This is the peak of life, having this journey, the driver has a style and what a style
What is that like an inch of water???? You could run this thing down a wet sidewalk.damn.

ruclips.net/video/B4PBIuJT4Iw/видео.html
Well it ain't a fan boat.
The mini boats like this can run in as little as 4 inches of water.
Awesome video, shocked at how well that boat coped with the shallow water. what an amazing looking place too!
Beautiful footage with beautiful music. Proud to share such an awesome country!
this really makes me miss home . l was a young kid live just down the road from where this was taken I've lived in aus for the past 25 years . It doesn't get any better than this great vid bud 👍👍👍👍
Mate this is really entertaining and the scenery is breathtaking. well done dude!
adamfremer . do everyone a favor and keep your stupid opinions to yourself! STFU AND FUCKOFF!
too bad the thing is so loud it chases away all fauna, and scares fish to death... ugh silly humans
Jet boating was crazy fun! Last summer or their winter, I went in the freezing cold and it was an amazing experience. What so cool is that the boat barely touches the waters surface so you’re literally flying and can get crazy close to the shore and make impossible turns!
Thanks for sharing. Great ride, awesome scenery, good music.
NZ is one beautiful place. That scenery is truly stunning..
Thank you sir..you made me smile for 9 minutes and 41 seconds!
I can see the Amazon ad now, Boat like new, only one owner, only used once, etc.
... yeah but can we see the under side ?
Small dint in hull....
A Most excellent example of shallow draft boating as I have ever seen. Few people are actually away of how serious a sport it is . Well Done. G'Day Mate.
beautiful country to have fun...thanks for sharing
Nice run. That boat is like a Jeep for water...or Land Rover,.. if you prefer. Just keeps going.
or humer
Bucket list!
briansmobile1 fancy seeing you here
Used to holiday at Benmore and Twizel when we were kids..love this area of NZ. And the Hamilton Jet is one of NZs best inventions.
You might not have made it to the glacier lakes but still, that was one hell of a trip. You are a fortunate man to have such adventures.
how many rocks were damaged making this video
Smoker Ace 😂
Smoker Ace ...and think of all the starving children in Africa who could have eaten those rocks.
LOL 😂😂😂
Smoker Ace about as many as fish killed
Smoker Ace jetborading with Billy Gibbons
didn't know zz top liked boats
Jeremy B dang! I was just about to write that!!!
Jeremy B ZZ TOP 😎👍🍻
He's the singer of the Gormathon group...
Damn Skippy, that was intense, nice driving! Small boat with a very shallow draft, looked fun!
Crazy ride and beautiful scenery. And, this guy appears so relaxed throughout, like another walk in the park. maybe a galvanized steel plate can be fitted to assist in the hull life? This man knows how to live.
LOVE MY COUNTRY
America has been overplayed. Im ready to move lol
ESSE VÍDEO EU VEJO 10 VEZES POR DIA E NÃO ME CANSO DE VER.
Hello from Idaho! I love this video so much.
Great video. Perfect position of the camera, fun boat, stunning views, good fitting music. 10 points :)
Love this vid ! good choice of music to.
Any idea what this track is called or who it is?
RekLes not sure but I think iys some kind of deep trance music
It's called "Greenland" by Emancipator
Dana Chapman cheers buddy
Greenland may be the trance version but it's a spinoff of the song "Fade to Grey" by Visage from the 80s( maybe 90s).
Amazing man, wish i could drive a boat on that river
That isn't a river its a fucking puddle of water lol
The scenery is so breath taking! AMAZING
Awesome scenery! The man has the look of ZZTop! 😆 What a machine! 👍
only 1 word can describe your video that is PERFECT
2:46 almost got his beard wet.
Great video, really enjoyed the views and music.
That's amazing view. Thank you for sharing. And who cares about the boat 🚣, just look how enjoyable it was 😍😍😍
Music - Emancipator - Greenland
ActrosVLG thank you
Thank's man!
Красота какая

After working 10 hours a day, these 7 minutes made my day. Life is a hoax as Alan watts would say...
Thought I was going to hear ZZ Top after seeing that epic beard
Clint Kysar I gotsa get paid

No words can describe the sheer pleasure of watching and listening...
Superb video..

👍👍👍 From Russia Это очень круто! Чувствуется, что фарватер знаком, но при этом маршрут о-очень сложный!!! Для тех, кто не знает - особенно сложен при движении вниз по течению!!!
P. S. You like ZZ Top, man!!! 😉
Great video and music. Can only dream of being able to do that one day. Two thumbs up.
man I could watch this all day! love it
Aww bro you made me homesick! Nice vid thanks.
So Cool! I used to drive a Jet Boat similar to this one. A small 14ft Boston Whaler with a 115hp OMC .

Chuck Norris' boat
Damn straight,bitches.
my chance to comment: beautiful video, beautiful music and a beautiful beard, heaven like New Zealand. soon going to visit it.
Dude, What an adventure, What a magnificent place and fantastic film, thanks so much for such a beautiful glimpse into your life and adnevture.
dafuq what is this boat made of!?? First time I've ever seen a boat that can take such a beating and survive..
Av987 Google 'UHMW plastic'. The bottomside of the boat is clad with it.
painmagnet1 Actually its made of Chuck Norris' scrotum.
Probably the same Alloy as his Balls, STEEL!
The whole body is made of aluminum.
Eric Heagan and the motor? Jet propelled, correct?
In order to see the bottom of the boat you'd have to go down under. 😜
Beautiful! Absolutely stunning and wonderful steering!
I gotta do this!! Near flawless operation!! Love that 360 you you attempted to perform. I used to run my JetJon here in America up rivers that had many obstacles learned the drift techniques and how to read the rivers very well. Yet this, this rightcheer tops everything I have ever known. 😱.. I must master this by any means!!!
Nice music 🤔
Как красиво!
Ай молодца мужик.
Очень люблю этот ролик!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
We down have no tike.
A beautiful landscape. I hope people will not destroy it. Thanks for movie ;)
That's what I call pure excitement - the outdoors!
было бы круто если бы он снял как на трек лодку загрузил
тогда бы было понятно где камера крепится,и какое двигло у лодки!
Il faut toujours maître un poids à côté de vous pour équilibrer le petit bateau 🌟🌸🌸👑💚🛡️👍☀️🧡⭐💙🤗🤗🤗🤗
"You always have to master a weight next to you to balance the small boat"
Great Video, great Musik, i like it ❤❤❤❤ best Greetings from Austria!
the weak would have turned round at 2 mins in lol, good going, nice tune too
One trip per boat lol!
doesn't the water intakes and impeller get damaged by the rocks and sand it takes in?
Last Manstanding the jet boat was invented on these rivers
Ripped Up1 I believe that 100%. bloody awesome. F yes.
Ha ha yeah , by a farmer who wanted a faster and better way to check on his stock . It was in an area not too far from this very river . Remember watching the black and white video just after Hamilton invented it .
Dam I'm getting old !
So how does it prevent small stones and sand from being sucked in and damaging the impeller?
Kyla Binghay it dosent, just eats me up, big ones will break or stop the impeller tho
One of the most epic vids on RUclips!
Perfect music choice.
Great video. The scenery is amazing.
