Yeah- I wish I had known this in my 20’s. Something else I didn’t know: LOTS of them only invite you on their boat because they like seeing you wear a bikini and not because they’re a good “friend.”
@@idontknowyouthatsmypurse pretty much the assumed motivation of any guys you've just met. if it was a dude you thought was a good friend, well that's just shitty.
I was aprox 6 years old. Went to a surfer beach in Tenerife on the northern atlantic side. Whe we arrived the beach was closed with a red flag because of the waves, every adult told me to not go into the sea. I went in the sea like a dumbass, the sea pulled me in so much it was difficult to see the people on the beach. Lifeguards tried to throw me lifefloaters but the sea pulled me in so fast none could reach. A curly haired surfer jumped in the water, when he reached me we were so far away from the beach people looked like ants, i remember watching the sweat comming out of the pores of his face even after the waves hit us, the super heavy breathing, his shaking voice telling me to paddle and his heart beating against my shoulder super fast and strong. He managed to get us close enought to the point where the waves started to go white, we were hit very hard and submerged several times, the way the man held me when we were under water felt like hurting crushing steel, then he managed to get us closer to the shore every time the white waves hit us from behind. When i was a kid i did not understood the inmense danger the surfer took for me. As an adult i understood those very weird things i noticed, like him sweating a lot on cold water and the crushing hold when we had no air, was him near collapsing and extremelly scared of us dying. I wish i could find him 35 years later and thank him properly, really really really really hope his life is good.
I’m an American in Florida and have been watching the haulover inlet videos for a long time now. But I must say they’re at a new level with you, Ozzy Man, reviewing them. I don’t think I can go back to watching them without your narration!!
"Listing" is a nautical term to describe when a vessel takes on water and tilts to one side. A ship can list either to port (left) or starboard (right). By contrast, a ship is said to be "trimming" when she tips forward or backward.
@@Mortthemoose pretty sure your likelihood of being rescued is directly correlated to your boneability in Yaki's eyes. And I'm not sure if he's into big black guys.
Yeah...and that they're all Mercs. even when they're not. I was impressed with the quad 450 one near the end. I bet that boat can eat gas fast when he gets it on plane.
I’ve got one for you, Ozzy. Went down to Florida around 2019 with a few friends who brought kayaks. We decided to take them out on the ocean one day and my kayak flipped. They pushed on ahead to get past the waves breaking, and I had to swim after my kayak. I had no life jacket. I was trying to swim as hard as I could for what must’ve been 4-5 minutes, while the tide basically held me still. I was probably 150 feet out or so when it flipped, and i remember realizing I was completely exhausted at some point in the middle and that I needed to keep a level head or I was going to die. When I finally got to my kayak and managed to get back to shore, there were a few people just standing there watching. Might as well have been eating popcorn. Nobody was coming to help me, and I’m glad I did not panic. Definitely taught me to respect the ocean more. It’s fun to go out and do things, but you need to be prepared for the worst. I was not, and I was lucky to get back to shore.
"Nobody was coming to help me". That was maybe because they knew there's a big chance of going down when trying to rescue a panicking drowning person. Glad you made it safe!
Had to be rescued once when I was trying to learn to windsurf. Had done some sailing, so I understood I needed to tack back to shore but I couldn't stay on my feet and keep the sail up, so I was trying to paddle back to shore. I wasn't far out, but certainly wasn't making any headway getting back, so they sent a boat out for me. I felt really bad about it, but the rescue boat captain was super nice and gave me a great pep talk about how important it is to try new things and not feel badly when they don't go to plan.
On a tourist fishing trip with my brother, my dad and my grandad in Cornwall, UK, when I was about 7, and my brother managed to blag the skipper into thinking it was my birthday and get us to the helm. He let us steer for a good 5-10 minutes until we were side-on with the swell, getting a bit close to a sandbank. Grandad nearly fell out and was about to give the skipper hell when he saw it was us driving and burst out laughing. There was another group on the boat who were less impressed.
The "trick" at these inlets is to give just enough throttle to raise the stern of the boat, without going onto plane. Lots of "captains" are either unaware of this or afraid, in both cases they are unqualified to drive a boat at an inlet.
Yeah the guy with the smashed windshield didn't get the front of the boat high enough. Not that I can comment, I definitely couldn't safely drive a boat through there. Then again, I wouldn't try in the first place, so...
Thank you so much for explaining this! I watch tons of the haul over & boca inlet shorts! I can tell who does well & who doesn’t but wasn’t sure how or why or what caused it to be better! Some make it look SO easy & some are just disasters!

We were fishing for salmon at Buoy 10 on the Columbia River about 30 years ago, and it went from relatively smooth to terrifying in about a minute, and then the engine died. We started taking on water, so we put in a distress call and the Coast Guard came and pulled us out of the sinking boat. Big respect to the men and women at Cape Disappointment Coast Guard Station, now and forever.
My son was part of a rescue when he was 10 years old and living in Yellowknife on Great Slave Lake in Canada's Northwest Territories. He took a canoe and kayaking course. The first day, they practiced rescue techniques at the swimming pool. The next day, they went out on the lake. They saw a canoe tip over and went to the rescue. It was a British tourist and his son. They had set out on the lake with the canoe still attached to a miniature boat trailer, and a couple of child's life preservers tangled up in fishing line. They would have died quickly in the ice cold water. The cool thing was that the whole class of 10 year olds received citations at the annual Lt. Governor's water rescue awards. When my son told me the story, he said "We did a T-rescue. Do you know what that is?" I said "Yeah, sure, I was a canoe instructor when I was a teen." He went running to his mom, "Mom! Mom! Dad was a canoe instructor!" like it was the most heroic accomplishment of my life.
Me & friends, 12 years old, parents told us "go play on the beach" which automatically includes the ocean...swimming out past breakwater, rogue wave set arrives, 12-15 ft swells, I get sucked under 3 times, drowning now, calling "HELP, glug, glug," my 12 year old friend Carla throws on her flippers and braves dangerous surf to save my life. Thank you Carla C.!🌊🌊🌊🌊
I was a lifeguard in South Africa (North Beach Durban), I was on duty when we were alerted to someone in distress, I was first out in the water, got to the person but they had already gone under water, I went under and pulled the guys lifeless body to surface, by that time the boat was there. Got him back to shore, started cpr but we were to late, the guy died. I still swim but I'll never forget that day.
Thank you for your service 💐🥇 I'm in the uk, and although I'm not able to go on boats/travel anymore due to disabling Illnesses/chronic pain, before being ill, I absolutely loved my adventures.... I've been to every Scottish Island, including some uninhabited ones, and some very remote lighthouses, way out in the Atlantic Ocean. We have the RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Association) here in the uk, and I have the utmost respect for them.....risking their lives (like you) every day to save people. They save 1000s of lives of the poor immigrants trying to get across the channel on overcrowded inflatables, to try to get to seek a "better life" in the uk.
I had the same thing happen to me when I was a freshman in high school. First time going to the beach. We went to Edisto Beach South Carolina and it was late in the evening not yet dark but getting close and the tide was pulling out. I got stuck in a rip and it kept pulling me out to sea and under. I can swim fairly well, however, as a teenager who had never been in the ocean before the absolute power of it was crazy! Of course, I panicked! I was scared to death. I thought I was going to drown. Thankfully my cousins were there one of whom lived nearby and knew what was happening and they both swam out and got me. One pulled me to shore the other got slammed into the rock jetty I think it's called and it scratched and bruised him up pretty good. He also lost his wedding band by getting thrown around and onto the rocks. They saved my life that's for sure. I've not gone out over my knees since. I was 14 at the time, I'm 37 now and it still messes with me.
My terrifying water story: Elephant Butte New Mexico. First time I've ever ridden (or rented a jet ski) went out with my (then) wife and 2 friends and we rented a boat all day. The weather started to turn bad, started raining but no lightning and it got pretty cold. We had to bring the boat back early and before we left decided to try out the jet skis which the dock master was ok with since our boating got cut short. The wind was making some pretty crazy waves which were fun to jump, but this also had made most people decide to call it quits so it was pretty much empty now. After being on the jet ski for about 15 minutes I hit a wave just right and it knocked the wind out of me and off the jet ski. Tried swimming towards it but the waves kept pushing it further and further. After about 8 minutes of swimming I realized it was moving faster away than I was swimming and I was getting exhausted and very very cold. Bobbing up and down in the water it was difficult to even see the dock itself, let alone if anyone was on it. I honestly felt like this was it. I couldn't swim anymore and if i hadn't had a life jacket on I wouldn't be alive today. I just started screaming for help. Ran out of options. I screamed until I lost my voice. About 6 minutes later I heard another jet ski and it was the dock master. He had gotten worried because he didn't hear mine anymore and decided to come looking and saw it floating around. When he got closer to me I started screaming for help again until he heard and saw me and picked me up and took me back to my jet ski which was now incredibly far away. Still haven't gotten back on one since. Side note to this.. I'm a very strong swimmer, but it's crazy how much a low temperature and a life jacket reduces that skill to almost nothing.
As a kid around 5, I fell into a public pool and remember bobbing up and down a few times then nothing. I woke up on the side of the pool being given cpr. I wish I knew where that lady is. She saved my life. Love the channel 😂
I live about an hour & a half from pyramid lake in California. The cops on the lake are very strict about kids wearing life jackets but they really don’t give a crap about jet skiers or speed boats getting a little to close to a wake boarder. One of my brothers friends almost got run over…twice about 15 years ago. We don’t go back there anymore.
I used to be a skipper in a drinking town with a diving and fishing problem, and we always used to get a call from this old man at about 4pm saying he needed rescuing, oil, steering rods, etc... and we also launched through the surf (waves). Anyway, he was always just too pissed to bring his boat back to the beach :D
I had a similar experience Ozzy. I was 8, and we were down in Perth from Leonora on a school trip, 1978. We were at Yanchep. The surf was up with a very strong rip tide. I couldn’t swim then, so my first mistake was getting in the water at all. I got out to a point where the sand dropped off suddenly, eaten away by the current. I got in trouble quickly, but I wasn’t thinking I was. Even though the surf was turbulent and I couldn’t get a footing, there was no panic. I was determined to try and push off the sand up to the surface, but the current kept pushing me out away from the sand’s edge. I just remember seeing the surface above me, a complete sense of calm, it was very quiet. Then I felt something grab my ankle, and I blacked out. When I came to, I was on the beach with all the kids around looking at me. I was oblivious to the idea that I had almost drowned. I think it was the teacher that got me out, but he’s never talked about it. He still teaches out there in Leonora all these years later. The whole experience is still as vivid as yesterday. Fair to say we called it a day after that.
Leonora... How are so many people from there... My nan taught there in the 50s. I taught there a decade or so ago. When I left that teaching position I went to the USA. I sat on a plane in Sydney next to two guys... From Leonora. In the USA I sat on a bus next to... Someone from Leonora. Went into pool building... Excavator was from Leonora. Heard of this US president... Leonora. (For people not from Leonora... Hoover lived in Leonora for a while) Honestly... That town is tiny. It just doesn't make sense. And I bet that teacher's initials are RR. Saw him on the abc last year.
@@MrZoomah Rene Reddinguis, my teacher in 6th and 7th grades. The man is a living legend. Everyone calls him Sir. Our house was in Gwalia, the ghost town a couple clicks out of Leonora. That’s where Hoover worked as a mine manager on the Sons of Gwalia goldmine, only for a short time around 1898. The mine operated from then to 1963. We moved there in 1971, set up home in an old miner’s house, no electricity or water initially. We moved away in 1979. The mine actually reopened in the 80s and still operates today, the deepest gold mine in Australia, close to 2km below ground.
Used to take the kids to Camber Sands,UK for holiday. Thing to remember about the beach is that you can wade out for a good 500metres before it starts getting deeper than a metre. Great for the kiddies as they have this massive ‘pool’ to play in. Mine knew not to go in past their chest and I used to be out on the open sea side keeping an i on them. In two holidays there I’ve dragged 4 people back to shore as they’ve gone too far and stepped off the shelf into the rip current. Both kids and parents I’ve had to drag out. It’s stupid really as 1. There’s a good 2-3 metre warning as the depth starts to increase. 2. As the depth increases you can feel the water getting colder . 3. As you get near the edge you can feel the direction of the undertow change. 4. There’s signs at the holiday park, in the car parks, on the beach , all telling you not to go out past where the depth starts to increase. 5. People are idiots when it comes to shallow water, “it’s just a big swimming pool” yeah right! Now my kids are grown we don’t go there anymore. Probably for the good as I’m not as fit as I used to be.Was brought up swimming in rivers and the sea, learnt how to handle currents and to listen to the locals and most of all to respect the power of water.
Listening to the locals is good advice. You should never swim in a natural body of water if you don't know how the currents behave. My home town has a wide, winding river cutting through the center, fed by melting snow and glaciers from the Canadian Rockies (a few hours drive away). By late summer, most of the melt is gone and the river is relatively shallow, so people go wading or let their dogs play in the river. And to be fair, most people do it without incident. But it's not uncommon for a person or dog to drown. Even though it's shallow enough for an adult to touch the bottom most or all of the way across, the water on the river bed sometimes flows faster than the water on the surface and it can make you lose your footing and drag you under, impossible to get back up again on your own. People often don't understand that it's surprisingly easy to drown in 4 ft of water.
Shout out to Jill and Paddy of the Blackjack in Anglesey and the RNLI, those guys saved my life. Being lost at sea certainly leaves a lasting impression! ❤
My horror story is boating on the Niagara River & having the boat stall while you drift closer to the edge of Niagara Falls. Watching the mist from the Falls get closer & closer....nightmare fuel for months. Thank heavens for the Coast Guard!!
I've gone scuba diving in the Niagara River ( off Grand Island and North Tonawanda). Even though that's pretty far from the Falls the current is crazy.
Listing is when a boat tips to one side after filling with too much water. It makes the boat super unstable and can result in capsizing (tipping over). Edit. I would absoluetly watch a bridge shitmix part 2 vid. The 11 foot 8 bridge video is one of my favourite Ozzy Man videos and can always give me a laugh.
Listing can happen for other reasons besides filling with water. An example comes to mind. I think I saw this on the Plainly Difficult channel here on RUclips. A combo passenger and cargo boat was modified from its original design which made it top heavy. On its last trip it was loaded with way too much heavy stuff up high, there was a mild storm, the cargo shifted to the side of the hold, gradually at first and then faster as it listed further and further. The passengers, mainly college kids heading home for summer break if I remember right, were told to stay in their cabins. The ones that survived were able to figure out that getting out of their cabins and into one of the very few life rafts was their best bet.
I've seen plenty of yay-hoos attempting the Haulover but can't decide if I like the spinal injuries of innocents at the front or powering the bow underwater best. That poor dog looked terrified: "Let's go back in now, Dad". From now on, whenever he sees the boat being readied for another big adventure he runs and hides.
I live near Lake Superior, which is a body of water that is always actively trying to kill you. It's an inland sea that is hypothermic even at the height of summer, and is powerful enough to take down huge freighters. It's such a force of nature...I love it and I'm scared of it.
There's a chick that captains a boat out of there, wearing a bikini, flying a Wavy Boats flag, and she does it like a boss. I've seen her a couple of times. She doesn't back down, and she makes Haulover her bitsh.
May '06 I was snorkeling @ Hanauma Bay, Hawaii. It is a coral protected bay except for 1 place, which I found by accident as it was taking me *out to sea* Like you I was swimming for all of my worth when a white surf board shot forward & a lifeguard pulled me back inside the reef. While I don't think that I would have drowned, I was getting beaten up by water. I live in the middle of the USA & have never been to an ocean b4. I have had a lifetime fill. *Thank you unknown Lifeguard for saving my fat ass!*
Coral is also insanely rough I scuba dived on it, and ever so gently scraped my knee over something barely sticking out of the sand I felt the sting of salt water in a wound, looked down, and was missing more skin than I'd expected from such a soft leg kick...
I have a boat friend and he once needed the Coast Guard to pull him from a sandbank. This was many years ago and he still feels shame over it. It also does not help that the nearby villagers bring it up all the time when they see him.
Sand bars shift and might not be in the same place as they were the last time you were in those waters getting stuck is not as bad as losing your prop or damaging your hull
I was 11yrs old and on the beach at Plum Island (USA) when a rogue wave hit me, the wave then dragged me across the bottom and once I finally came back up I was around 100ft off shore. A family friend saw it happen and did literally have to rescue me. Alright, that's my horror ocean story🤙🏼 And still digging your videos man👏🏼🙌🏼
Listing means off center to either side in reference to the center of buoyancy. If you list over too far, you capsize. If you take on too much water, you swamp the boat. If you run out of reserve buoyancy, you sink.
Two friends and I braved a rip to recuse a lady once, we got her out, and I just walked up the beach and lay down completely exhausted, she seemed fine at first but after a bit she started having trouble breathing and fell unconscious my friend gave her cpr, probably saved her life. Her husband shook our hands with tears in his eyes then took her to the hospital. Wild day
Also secondary drowning is a thing... Drowning has one end up with a lot of water in the lungs directly restricting breathing... How ever ift it's just a small amount, such as inhaled by getting dunked unsuspectedly, it can still irritate the tissue of the lung. That leeds to the body excreting fluid into the lung leading to potentially fatal breathing restrictions and/or an infection. Keep an eye on people that inhaled any liquid and if they can't stop coughing, get a fewer or trouble breathing it's time to see a doctor. There are rather simple info graphics about the symptoms of secondary drowning as it often happens with children as they are prone to accidentally inhaling water.
We went to Fr Myers Fla for my honeymoon...back in the 80s... there were signs everywhere bad rip tides ...swim at own risk....we were just walking the beach when we seen people pulling a dead guy out of the ocean...he was there with his whole family celebrating his 30th anniversary..
Ozzy Man and Wavy Boats at Haulover Inlet, what a combo. Would love to see Ozzy Man's reactions to the Blue Top Legend. Thanks for making my morning coffee better
This was awesome Ozzyman! An Ozzyman explanation of Haulover Inlet! The American twang to boot! This channel that you got the footage from is a channel I couldn’t stop watching during the pandemic. I couldn’t get enough of watching boat try to get outta there! Thanks for your story about the rip. It’s important for people to hear those stories. You take care.
Worked at a local sheriffs office in the lake patrol when I was back in college in 2000. In blew my mind that you had to prove drivers proficiency in a car but all you had to do was a BS written test and could be on the water. Boats are far more complicated to operate safety yet in the US you just have to pass a quick test and you can be a danger to everyone.
Same year 2006. I was in Raro (Cook Islands) I've been there a lot. I noticed a huge rogue wave coming in over the reef. I started yelling for the beach goers to move back. Raro does not have a lot of beach goers BTW. I heard a few people were (Aussies) telling me to shut up. Then the waves hit. Took out the entire front section of the Muri Beach hotel. I didn't even spill my beer. For a week, I could see beach towels everywhere.
The fourth guy just disappearing after that wave crash was hilarious. It took the replace to actually appreciate that fact that he was just gone afterwards.
Me and 2 friends (2 brothers) were swimming over a lake. One of the brothers drowned, and the other one was almost dyin as well when we tryed to dive after his brother. When I got up to surface he was floating there with face down. Got a grip of him and screamed for help. got 5 boats commin out and we got him up and pumped him out of water. The brother that drowned however was found a week later further down the stream. This was in 2014, and I havent been out in water since.
We checked out a Carver, Minnesota camping park, accessed by a road under a bridge, combined with the road over a dike. Between the convex under, the concavity of the road either wedged under the bridge or stuck like a turtle on the dike overpass way just like Robin Williams in "RV" except the entire small town could turn out to watch the land beaching with both sets of wheels turning uselessly. Tents, pop-ups or a short class c campers only. Both situations.
Hey Ozzy Man! I can totally relate to the terror of being in the undertow at Scarborough Beach, the same thing happened to me a while back. I am a good swimmer usually, went for a swim but I was new to WA. No flags were out, I just started paddling and was swept out in a rip and then towed under almost immediately, thrashed around, got sucked into a huge wave, got tossed down into the sand, and bashed my nose so hard it started bleeding. Finally got close enough to the beach to drag my sorry ass out, no one knew about it until I got on shore and my friends all ran over asking if I was alright. I bloody yelled at them "I was almost killed, you bloody idiots!" It sticks with you when you almost get taken out by the ocean. Not good.
I went river rafting in Moab, Utah. We hit one of the biggest rapids at a bad angle and I got tossed out along with almost everyone else. Went through the rest of the rapid backwards in just a life jacket. I have never gone river rafting again.
I've been on one of these "triple Evinrude" racing cigars of the Excalibur brand in Miami back in the mid 80's. Each engine had 250hps for a total of 750hps. Top speed on the water was over 130kmh. My dad and I were vacationing in Florida at the time and met these guys by chance and somehow they took a liking to us and invited us to their places and took us to all the fancy shmancy places in Miami. I was young and naive back then. Today I am convinced that when the boat wasn't used to impress chicks or tourists, it was actually used to smuggle cocaine. 😄
Horrifying water story: When I was 15, around 1994 on a school trip in summer, we climbed up and over some mountains during a 35 degree day. Allowed to cool off in a pool under a waterfall, I got cramp. I cant really swim so went straight under. Held my breath until I was blacking out, maybe two minutes but felt like more. Swallowed two whole lungfuls of water, then I felt something hit my hand. The instructor had thrown a rope with a weight on it and dragged me back in. It is true what they say about drowning, when your body starts to give up it does get very peaceful.
The worst I've ever experienced with the ocean was a wave turned the float I was in and spilled my cousin and i into the water. I guess it was shallow enough that I hit my back on the sand and it knocked the breath out of me. I remember looking through the murky water and seeing the sun but the weight of the wave kept me pinned on my back and then I just popped up and was standing in knee deep water with my cousin not that far from me and the raft already on shore. It was so weirdly calm under the water, like I didn't think about needing to breathe or panic, it was surreal. Same cousin also ended up being swept away by a strong undertow at another beach and I was the only one that noticed and swam after her. I'm glad she was small for her age (A year older then me) and I was a strong swimmer because we managed to get back to shore together but that was probobly scarier then being pinned underwater just because I could see the rest of our family getting smaller and smaller and no one noticed we were gone. I was glad the water was only going along the shore and not out to sea so at least that helped, we never lost sight of the shore.
In boating we have what you call a "fetch", which the length of water subject to wind. More fetch, the bigger the waves. Haulover faces East-West. So on strong east winds, you are going to build up huge waves since it's limitless fetch to the east. When you see white caps as we see in almost every video, that implies minimum 3' waves. Rule of thumb 10ft of boat for every 1' of wave. So if you see caps, you should be minimum, 30' of boat. If you are spearing waves, meaning the bow is thrusting IN a wave, you shouldn't be out there. And for children under 13, they must be wearing a lifejacket while underway. So lots of dumbassery going on. Oh, and by the way, listing means tilting because of water.
Funny this. I'm an American from Miami and my family was out on our small boat almost every weekend. My dad would always demand us to be seated and quiet when we went through Haulover inlet. Now I see why he was always so serious about it. My biggest ocean nightmare came when I lived in Perth and went to Burns Beach with my then 8 year old daughter. No lifeguards and not a person in sight. We got caught in the undertow and started spinning underwater like a washing machine. I grabbed hold of my daughters hair and fought our way back up and got the hell out of there. In 7 years of living in WA, that was my one and only time touching the Indian Ocean.
Reminds me of that time my dad had the great idea to visit the rock of Rheinfall (a big waterfall with a rock in the middle) with our pedal powered boat. Getting there was easy, but getting away not so much. Once you get close enough to a waterfall there's a current pulling you towards it

Yeah, I can't even tell you how many times the under tow got me in the ocean when I was a teenager. The first couple of times I did panic, for sure. But I got the hang of it quick. When you're in it you become so discom-fuckin-bobulated, you dont even know which direction is the surface! Then I quickly discovered the best thing to do is relax your entire body. That's the trick. The more you panic and fight it the worse it gets. You have to relax and let i just take you where it will, then, believe me, it kind of pushes you out of it and into calmer water. It works every time, I'm telling ya.
I last went in the ocean when I was 12. I was at oceanside ca, and got caught in an riptide/undertow that pulled me pretty far out, no matter how hard I swam the beach kept getting further away. Thankfully, a life guard got me back in, but that was it for me. The ocean is for looking at only now.
My favourite bridges is Jeff Bridges BTW Waterworld is the name of that movie Further edit, I thought it was Miami Beach on the Gold Coast, the Boston Whaler should've given it away. Good stuff Ozzie Man👍
When I was 8 my swim team went to the beach and I got caught in a rip tide. I swan horizontal to shore as taught and then in and got back, but I was so tired my legs were shaking and i scared the adults who coordinated the trip! Sometimes kids are less panicy, probably because we can't imagine the consequences of what could go wrong. I was so far out they couldn't see me!
Ozzyman, we need way more of these haulover commentary..😂😂😂 Use words like, Bury the bow, over the stern, heaving, planeing, quad Merc... Lobster, Crayfish....lol I picture these words with humor next Haulover Responses...🤣🤣 Love it mate, gota do a few more, they are hilarious
My nearest death experience was at Sebastian Inlet which is about an hour North of Haulover. It's just as bad there. I was on a jet ski and getting huge air going out, coming back in is harder than going out. A wave caught my ski and blasted me so hard off the ski that it knocked the wind out of me. That sucks extra in a turbulent ocean! The ski and I both survived, but damn it was painful!
Brazil, around 04, my dad, brother and me managed to swim out of a particularly strong and green-wavy pulling sea. After that, my father was convinced the sea was too dangerous, commented that to a random dude standing next to us. In a couple of minutes the dude was being laid on a stretcher and taken away by a helicopter. Don’t know if he made it. Will never know. Respect the sea.
Guess I'm just a slow @$$ learner. Nearly drowned 3 times already. The sea doesn't seem to like me much but I keep going back. Every time. Get hit by some big bastard wave and get dragged out to the deep. Hurt my feeling as well as my lungs
So I'm from America, and I know what a thong is! Is it because I'm older? I grew up calling flip-flops thongs. I'm not that old, though, I'm on the younger end of Gen X. But my grandparents would be 115 and 114 years old, and my mom calls where everyone goes to wash clothes a washateria.
I've seen these videos before and it never fails to anger me the way people leave their kids in the front of the boat without life jackets. So irresponsible ...
I have a few interesting ocean stories from being a Barney, as I didn't take up surfing until my 30's. After a couple of years I actually became mediocre at it. During the "learning curve" I almost lost a toe (bad cut from one of the fins), broke a rib and a incurred a concussion. The concussion was probably the scariest incident as it almost knocked me unconscious and I was surfing alone at the time.
There's no entertainment like Haulover entertainment. The only really scary thing is the complete lack of lifejackets on ANYBODY most of the time. Haulover doesn't play around. Ozzy - check out the boats with SIX Mercs on them!
If you want to get on a boat without a life jacket in conditions where you are likely to be thrown overboard and drowned, you can. To me that's beautiful.
Ozzy Man! You missed the absolute best of Haulover Inlet. There are a pair of teenage girls who absolutely shred that inlet in a little Boston Whaler called Blue Top Legend. Those two put every boater to absolute shame in the inlet.
I grew up in Florida, and my dad’s a boat captain…. He’s going to love this video omg hahahahaahha!!!, you are hilarious!!, please do more haulover video commentary 😂😂😂😂
At 11 I got set adrift - couldn't paddle fast enough to go back to shore At 12 I almost drowned - high waves At 13 I basically had a repeat of the first time
"tons of dickheads have boats." That's an underrated quote right there.
They keep the coast guards practiced up.

I was aprox 6 years old. Went to a surfer beach in Tenerife on the northern atlantic side. Whe we arrived the beach was closed with a red flag because of the waves, every adult told me to not go into the sea. I went in the sea like a dumbass, the sea pulled me in so much it was difficult to see the people on the beach.
Lifeguards tried to throw me lifefloaters but the sea pulled me in so fast none could reach. A curly haired surfer jumped in the water, when he reached me we were so far away from the beach people looked like ants, i remember watching the sweat comming out of the pores of his face even after the waves hit us, the super heavy breathing, his shaking voice telling me to paddle and his heart beating against my shoulder super fast and strong.
He managed to get us close enought to the point where the waves started to go white, we were hit very hard and submerged several times, the way the man held me when we were under water felt like hurting crushing steel, then he managed to get us closer to the shore every time the white waves hit us from behind. When i was a kid i did not understood the inmense danger the surfer took for me.
As an adult i understood those very weird things i noticed, like him sweating a lot on cold water and the crushing hold when we had no air, was him near collapsing and extremelly scared of us dying. I wish i could find him 35 years later and thank him properly, really really really really hope his life is good.
Great story! I am glad he took that risk for you.
Who lets a 6 year old on the beach alone? Sounds like bs unless you meant 16
Wow!!!that dude is a hero!!! I'm glad he was there to save you!

"Listing" is a nautical term to describe when a vessel takes on water and tilts to one side. A ship can list either to port (left) or starboard (right). By contrast, a ship is said to be "trimming" when she tips forward or backward.
Oh I knew listing, not trimming, cheer's
It means your taking on water on the side that's sinking the weight of the water is heavy and makes the boat dip down

I’ve got one for you, Ozzy. Went down to Florida around 2019 with a few friends who brought kayaks. We decided to take them out on the ocean one day and my kayak flipped. They pushed on ahead to get past the waves breaking, and I had to swim after my kayak. I had no life jacket. I was trying to swim as hard as I could for what must’ve been 4-5 minutes, while the tide basically held me still. I was probably 150 feet out or so when it flipped, and i remember realizing I was completely exhausted at some point in the middle and that I needed to keep a level head or I was going to die. When I finally got to my kayak and managed to get back to shore, there were a few people just standing there watching. Might as well have been eating popcorn. Nobody was coming to help me, and I’m glad I did not panic. Definitely taught me to respect the ocean more. It’s fun to go out and do things, but you need to be prepared for the worst. I was not, and I was lucky to get back to shore.
Can't believe you didn't have lines securing the kayak and paddle to you.
I'm glad to hear you got back safely, my friend 😊
I have always seen kayakers with life jackets on!
"Nobody was coming to help me". That was maybe because they knew there's a big chance of going down when trying to rescue a panicking drowning person. Glad you made it safe!
Had to be rescued once when I was trying to learn to windsurf. Had done some sailing, so I understood I needed to tack back to shore but I couldn't stay on my feet and keep the sail up, so I was trying to paddle back to shore. I wasn't far out, but certainly wasn't making any headway getting back, so they sent a boat out for me.
I felt really bad about it, but the rescue boat captain was super nice and gave me a great pep talk about how important it is to try new things and not feel badly when they don't go to plan.
On a tourist fishing trip with my brother, my dad and my grandad in Cornwall, UK, when I was about 7, and my brother managed to blag the skipper into thinking it was my birthday and get us to the helm. He let us steer for a good 5-10 minutes until we were side-on with the swell, getting a bit close to a sandbank. Grandad nearly fell out and was about to give the skipper hell when he saw it was us driving and burst out laughing. There was another group on the boat who were less impressed.
The "trick" at these inlets is to give just enough throttle to raise the stern of the boat, without going onto plane.
Lots of "captains" are either unaware of this or afraid, in both cases they are unqualified to drive a boat at an inlet.
Easier said than done, especially with a 10 footer staring at you in the face
Yeah the guy with the smashed windshield didn't get the front of the boat high enough. Not that I can comment, I definitely couldn't safely drive a boat through there. Then again, I wouldn't try in the first place, so...
Thank you so much for explaining this! I watch tons of the haul over & boca inlet shorts! I can tell who does well & who doesn’t but wasn’t sure how or why or what caused it to be better! Some make it look SO easy & some are just disasters!
"Captain" loosely described as :D
Yea it’s all throttle control and knowing when to be on and off. Some of these idiots with people riding in the bow just 🤦♂️

We were fishing for salmon at Buoy 10 on the Columbia River about 30 years ago, and it went from relatively smooth to terrifying in about a minute, and then the engine died.

7:49 Time to put on the life jackets....nope, nope, they are all floating away in the ocean. Well done guys.
My son was part of a rescue when he was 10 years old and living in Yellowknife on Great Slave Lake in Canada's Northwest Territories. He took a canoe and kayaking course. The first day, they practiced rescue techniques at the swimming pool. The next day, they went out on the lake. They saw a canoe tip over and went to the rescue. It was a British tourist and his son. They had set out on the lake with the canoe still attached to a miniature boat trailer, and a couple of child's life preservers tangled up in fishing line. They would have died quickly in the ice cold water.
The cool thing was that the whole class of 10 year olds received citations at the annual Lt. Governor's water rescue awards. When my son told me the story, he said "We did a T-rescue. Do you know what that is?"
I said "Yeah, sure, I was a canoe instructor when I was a teen." He went running to his mom, "Mom! Mom! Dad was a canoe instructor!" like it was the most heroic accomplishment of my life.
The lack of life jackets is concerning, especially on the kids.
I was thinking the same thing. That's a lot of kids with no preservers on. Parenting...
@@mabr6444 O well, you see a lot of people driving cars with children not wearing seat belts. Parenting...

I was a lifeguard in South Africa (North Beach Durban), I was on duty when we were alerted to someone in distress, I was first out in the water, got to the person but they had already gone under water, I went under and pulled the guys lifeless body to surface, by that time the boat was there. Got him back to shore, started cpr but we were to late, the guy died. I still swim but I'll never forget that day.
Thank you for your service 💐🥇
I'm in the uk, and although I'm not able to go on boats/travel anymore due to disabling Illnesses/chronic pain, before being ill, I absolutely loved my adventures.... I've been to every Scottish Island, including some uninhabited ones, and some very remote lighthouses, way out in the Atlantic Ocean.
We have the RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Association) here in the uk, and I have the utmost respect for them.....risking their lives (like you) every day to save people. They save 1000s of lives of the poor immigrants trying to get across the channel on overcrowded inflatables, to try to get to seek a "better life" in the uk.
I’m so sorry. Bless you. You brought closure to the man’s family.
So sorry you could not save him.very sad but so grateful for your service
Oh man. I’m so sorry.
you've probably saved some lives too, right? Focus on those, you're not the one who caused that man to die, you did everything you could!
I had the same thing happen to me when I was a freshman in high school. First time going to the beach. We went to Edisto Beach South Carolina and it was late in the evening not yet dark but getting close and the tide was pulling out. I got stuck in a rip and it kept pulling me out to sea and under. I can swim fairly well, however, as a teenager who had never been in the ocean before the absolute power of it was crazy! Of course, I panicked! I was scared to death. I thought I was going to drown. Thankfully my cousins were there one of whom lived nearby and knew what was happening and they both swam out and got me. One pulled me to shore the other got slammed into the rock jetty I think it's called and it scratched and bruised him up pretty good. He also lost his wedding band by getting thrown around and onto the rocks. They saved my life that's for sure. I've not gone out over my knees since. I was 14 at the time, I'm 37 now and it still messes with me.
My terrifying water story: Elephant Butte New Mexico. First time I've ever ridden (or rented a jet ski) went out with my (then) wife and 2 friends and we rented a boat all day. The weather started to turn bad, started raining but no lightning and it got pretty cold. We had to bring the boat back early and before we left decided to try out the jet skis which the dock master was ok with since our boating got cut short. The wind was making some pretty crazy waves which were fun to jump, but this also had made most people decide to call it quits so it was pretty much empty now. After being on the jet ski for about 15 minutes I hit a wave just right and it knocked the wind out of me and off the jet ski. Tried swimming towards it but the waves kept pushing it further and further. After about 8 minutes of swimming I realized it was moving faster away than I was swimming and I was getting exhausted and very very cold. Bobbing up and down in the water it was difficult to even see the dock itself, let alone if anyone was on it. I honestly felt like this was it. I couldn't swim anymore and if i hadn't had a life jacket on I wouldn't be alive today. I just started screaming for help. Ran out of options. I screamed until I lost my voice. About 6 minutes later I heard another jet ski and it was the dock master. He had gotten worried because he didn't hear mine anymore and decided to come looking and saw it floating around. When he got closer to me I started screaming for help again until he heard and saw me and picked me up and took me back to my jet ski which was now incredibly far away.
Still haven't gotten back on one since.
Side note to this.. I'm a very strong swimmer, but it's crazy how much a low temperature and a life jacket reduces that skill to almost nothing.
soft, just soft. Need to harden up a litlle
@@avasolaris1 😂😂😂 ok champ
Luca Brasi sleeps with the fishes

As a kid around 5, I fell into a public pool and remember bobbing up and down a few times then nothing. I woke up on the side of the pool being given cpr. I wish I knew where that lady is. She saved my life.
Love the channel 😂
Not one life jacket in sight except for when the boat was about to sink......And he still hadn't put it on. 🤦♂😂
I live about an hour & a half from pyramid lake in California. The cops on the lake are very strict about kids wearing life jackets but they really don’t give a crap about jet skiers or speed boats getting a little to close to a wake boarder. One of my brothers friends almost got run over…twice about 15 years ago. We don’t go back there anymore.
I used to be a skipper in a drinking town with a diving and fishing problem, and we always used to get a call from this old man at about 4pm saying he needed rescuing, oil, steering rods, etc... and we also launched through the surf (waves). Anyway, he was always just too pissed to bring his boat back to the beach :D
"used to be a skipper in a drinking town with a diving and fishing problem...." is this supposed to be a joke, like a pun?
I had a similar experience Ozzy. I was 8, and we were down in Perth from Leonora on a school trip, 1978. We were at Yanchep. The surf was up with a very strong rip tide. I couldn’t swim then, so my first mistake was getting in the water at all. I got out to a point where the sand dropped off suddenly, eaten away by the current. I got in trouble quickly, but I wasn’t thinking I was. Even though the surf was turbulent and I couldn’t get a footing, there was no panic. I was determined to try and push off the sand up to the surface, but the current kept pushing me out away from the sand’s edge. I just remember seeing the surface above me, a complete sense of calm, it was very quiet. Then I felt something grab my ankle, and I blacked out. When I came to, I was on the beach with all the kids around looking at me. I was oblivious to the idea that I had almost drowned. I think it was the teacher that got me out, but he’s never talked about it. He still teaches out there in Leonora all these years later. The whole experience is still as vivid as yesterday. Fair to say we called it a day after that.
Leonora... How are so many people from there... My nan taught there in the 50s. I taught there a decade or so ago. When I left that teaching position I went to the USA. I sat on a plane in Sydney next to two guys... From Leonora. In the USA I sat on a bus next to... Someone from Leonora.
Went into pool building... Excavator was from Leonora.
Heard of this US president... Leonora. (For people not from Leonora... Hoover lived in Leonora for a while)
Honestly... That town is tiny. It just doesn't make sense.
And I bet that teacher's initials are RR. Saw him on the abc last year.
@@MrZoomah Rene Reddinguis, my teacher in 6th and 7th grades. The man is a living legend. Everyone calls him Sir.
Our house was in Gwalia, the ghost town a couple clicks out of Leonora. That’s where Hoover worked as a mine manager on the Sons of Gwalia goldmine, only for a short time around 1898. The mine operated from then to 1963. We moved there in 1971, set up home in an old miner’s house, no electricity or water initially. We moved away in 1979. The mine actually reopened in the 80s and still operates today, the deepest gold mine in Australia, close to 2km below ground.
I’m in California now. Worked at Disneyland for a bit, I met a guy who was an electrician working on the mine. Small World indeed.
I was a captain once, but only for 20 minutes when I hired a pedalo at my local duck pond. IT STILL COUNTS --------- it still counts.

Used to take the kids to Camber Sands,UK for holiday. Thing to remember about the beach is that you can wade out for a good 500metres before it starts getting deeper than a metre. Great for the kiddies as they have this massive ‘pool’ to play in. Mine knew not to go in past their chest and I used to be out on the open sea side keeping an i on them. In two holidays there I’ve dragged 4 people back to shore as they’ve gone too far and stepped off the shelf into the rip current.
Both kids and parents I’ve had to drag out. It’s stupid really as
1. There’s a good 2-3 metre warning as the depth starts to increase.
2. As the depth increases you can feel the water getting colder .
3. As you get near the edge you can feel the direction of the undertow change.
4. There’s signs at the holiday park, in the car parks, on the beach , all telling you not to go out past where the depth starts to increase.
5. People are idiots when it comes to shallow water, “it’s just a big swimming pool” yeah right!
Now my kids are grown we don’t go there anymore. Probably for the good as I’m not as fit as I used to be.Was brought up swimming in rivers and the sea, learnt how to handle currents and to listen to the locals and most of all to respect the power of water.
Listening to the locals is good advice. You should never swim in a natural body of water if you don't know how the currents behave. My home town has a wide, winding river cutting through the center, fed by melting snow and glaciers from the Canadian Rockies (a few hours drive away). By late summer, most of the melt is gone and the river is relatively shallow, so people go wading or let their dogs play in the river. And to be fair, most people do it without incident. But it's not uncommon for a person or dog to drown. Even though it's shallow enough for an adult to touch the bottom most or all of the way across, the water on the river bed sometimes flows faster than the water on the surface and it can make you lose your footing and drag you under, impossible to get back up again on your own. People often don't understand that it's surprisingly easy to drown in 4 ft of water.
I didn’t think anything was worse than my impression of an Australian accent until hearing your impression of a southern American 😂 Well Done!

My horror story is boating on the Niagara River & having the boat stall while you drift closer to the edge of Niagara Falls. Watching the mist from the Falls get closer & closer....nightmare fuel for months. Thank heavens for the Coast Guard!!
OMG SOUNDS ABSOULTLEY TERRIFYING 😮so glad you made it safely 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Wow. Yeah no. I'm staying home forever.
I've gone scuba diving in the Niagara River ( off Grand Island and North Tonawanda). Even though that's pretty far from the Falls the current is crazy.
Listing is when a boat tips to one side after filling with too much water. It makes the boat super unstable and can result in capsizing (tipping over).
Edit. I would absoluetly watch a bridge shitmix part 2 vid. The 11 foot 8 bridge video is one of my favourite Ozzy Man videos and can always give me a laugh.
Listing can happen for other reasons besides filling with water. An example comes to mind. I think I saw this on the Plainly Difficult channel here on RUclips. A combo passenger and cargo boat was modified from its original design which made it top heavy. On its last trip it was loaded with way too much heavy stuff up high, there was a mild storm, the cargo shifted to the side of the hold, gradually at first and then faster as it listed further and further. The passengers, mainly college kids heading home for summer break if I remember right, were told to stay in their cabins. The ones that survived were able to figure out that getting out of their cabins and into one of the very few life rafts was their best bet.
I've seen plenty of yay-hoos attempting the Haulover but can't decide if I like the spinal injuries of innocents at the front or powering the bow underwater best. That poor dog looked terrified: "Let's go back in now, Dad". From now on, whenever he sees the boat being readied for another big adventure he runs and hides.
I live near Lake Superior, which is a body of water that is always actively trying to kill you. It's an inland sea that is hypothermic even at the height of summer, and is powerful enough to take down huge freighters. It's such a force of nature...I love it and I'm scared of it.
Unbelievable "Lake Ice" effects in winter.....

May '06 I was snorkeling @ Hanauma Bay, Hawaii. It is a coral protected bay except for 1 place, which I found by accident as it was taking me *out to sea* Like you I was swimming for all of my worth when a white surf board shot forward & a lifeguard pulled me back inside the reef. While I don't think that I would have drowned, I was getting beaten up by water. I live in the middle of the USA & have never been to an ocean b4. I have had a lifetime fill. *Thank you unknown Lifeguard for saving my fat ass!*
Coral is also insanely rough
I scuba dived on it, and ever so gently scraped my knee over something barely sticking out of the sand
I felt the sting of salt water in a wound, looked down, and was missing more skin than I'd expected from such a soft leg kick...
I have a boat friend and he once needed the Coast Guard to pull him from a sandbank. This was many years ago and he still feels shame over it. It also does not help that the nearby villagers bring it up all the time when they see him.
😂
There are plenty "Captains" like this in Greece. Too many have beached , lost , run out of fuel or didn't know how to start their engines
Sand bars shift and might not be in the same place as they were the last time you were in those waters getting stuck is not as bad as losing your prop or damaging your hull
I was 11yrs old and on the beach at Plum Island (USA) when a rogue wave hit me, the wave then dragged me across the bottom and once I finally came back up I was around 100ft off shore. A family friend saw it happen and did literally have to rescue me. Alright, that's my horror ocean story🤙🏼 And still digging your videos man👏🏼🙌🏼
Listing means off center to either side in reference to the center of buoyancy. If you list over too far, you capsize. If you take on too much water, you swamp the boat. If you run out of reserve buoyancy, you sink.
Two friends and I braved a rip to recuse a lady once, we got her out, and I just walked up the beach and lay down completely exhausted, she seemed fine at first but after a bit she started having trouble breathing and fell unconscious my friend gave her cpr, probably saved her life. Her husband shook our hands with tears in his eyes then took her to the hospital. Wild day
Swimming exhaustion is no joke.
Aw, you saved a life. Good job. He was more greatful than you'll ever know.
Also secondary drowning is a thing... Drowning has one end up with a lot of water in the lungs directly restricting breathing... How ever ift it's just a small amount, such as inhaled by getting dunked unsuspectedly, it can still irritate the tissue of the lung. That leeds to the body excreting fluid into the lung leading to potentially fatal breathing restrictions and/or an infection. Keep an eye on people that inhaled any liquid and if they can't stop coughing, get a fewer or trouble breathing it's time to see a doctor. There are rather simple info graphics about the symptoms of secondary drowning as it often happens with children as they are prone to accidentally inhaling water.
We went to Fr Myers Fla for my honeymoon...back in the 80s... there were signs everywhere bad rip tides ...swim at own risk....we were just walking the beach when we seen people pulling a dead guy out of the ocean...he was there with his whole family celebrating his 30th anniversary..

In blew my mind that you had to prove drivers proficiency in a car but all you had to do was a BS written test and could be on the water. Boats are far more complicated to operate safety yet in the US you just have to pass a quick test and you can be a danger to everyone.
Same in Canada. It's an online written test that's easy as shit and you can operate small powered watercraft.

Ah, the good old USA, where "freedom" is far more important than common sense.
America! F*** yeah!
That's why in Germany you have to have a proper license
Same year 2006. I was in Raro (Cook Islands) I've been there a lot. I noticed a huge rogue wave coming in over the reef. I started yelling for the beach goers to move back. Raro does not have a lot of beach goers BTW. I heard a few people were (Aussies) telling me to shut up. Then the waves hit. Took out the entire front section of the Muri Beach hotel. I didn't even spill my beer. For a week, I could see beach towels everywhere.
Only other person I have seen mention Rarotonga!
The fourth guy just disappearing after that wave crash was hilarious. It took the replace to actually appreciate that fact that he was just gone afterwards.
Somebody make a video out of "yaki out of nowhere in a jet ski" just quickly dodging dogdey situations. Now. Get to it internet.
Hit an 18 foot wave in a 28 foot boat. I was thrown overboard, that's when you appreciate stuff. Thanks for the maritime themed video
Me and 2 friends (2 brothers) were swimming over a lake. One of the brothers drowned, and the other one was almost dyin as well when we tryed to dive after his brother. When I got up to surface he was floating there with face down. Got a grip of him and screamed for help. got 5 boats commin out and we got him up and pumped him out of water. The brother that drowned however was found a week later further down the stream. This was in 2014, and I havent been out in water since.
I watch Haulover once in a while, but your narration makes it top shelf!!
We checked out a Carver, Minnesota camping park, accessed by a road under a bridge, combined with the road over a dike.
Between the convex under, the concavity of the road either wedged under the bridge or stuck like a turtle on the dike overpass way just like Robin Williams in "RV" except the entire small town could turn out to watch the land beaching with both sets of wheels turning uselessly.
Tents, pop-ups or a short class c campers only.
Both situations.
Hey Ozzy Man! I can totally relate to the terror of being in the undertow at Scarborough Beach, the same thing happened to me a while back. I am a good swimmer usually, went for a swim but I was new to WA. No flags were out, I just started paddling and was swept out in a rip and then towed under almost immediately, thrashed around, got sucked into a huge wave, got tossed down into the sand, and bashed my nose so hard it started bleeding. Finally got close enough to the beach to drag my sorry ass out, no one knew about it until I got on shore and my friends all ran over asking if I was alright. I bloody yelled at them "I was almost killed, you bloody idiots!" It sticks with you when you almost get taken out by the ocean. Not good.
Using Google to search for Google...classic 👌
I can't lie, I do sometimes depending on the browser.
That's as far as I got. Sent me into a total spiral, couldn't focus on anything after that.
I went river rafting in Moab, Utah. We hit one of the biggest rapids at a bad angle and I got tossed out along with almost everyone else. Went through the rest of the rapid backwards in just a life jacket. I have never gone river rafting again.
At least you were doing the right thing by wearing a life jacket I don't think I've seen a single video at haulover with a life jacket.
I've been on one of these "triple Evinrude" racing cigars of the Excalibur brand in Miami back in the mid 80's. Each engine had 250hps for a total of 750hps. Top speed on the water was over 130kmh. My dad and I were vacationing in Florida at the time and met these guys by chance and somehow they took a liking to us and invited us to their places and took us to all the fancy shmancy places in Miami. I was young and naive back then. Today I am convinced that when the boat wasn't used to impress chicks or tourists, it was actually used to smuggle cocaine. 😄
If it was Miami in the 80s you're probably right.....
Horrifying water story: When I was 15, around 1994 on a school trip in summer, we climbed up and over some mountains during a 35 degree day. Allowed to cool off in a pool under a waterfall, I got cramp. I cant really swim so went straight under. Held my breath until I was blacking out, maybe two minutes but felt like more. Swallowed two whole lungfuls of water, then I felt something hit my hand. The instructor had thrown a rope with a weight on it and dragged me back in. It is true what they say about drowning, when your body starts to give up it does get very peaceful.
"Everyone's working hard to be relaxed"
Ozzy man doing an American accent makes me feel a way 🤔🫡
Definitely not the proper accent for Miami.
It reminded me of the Family Guy episode "Death Has a Shadow", portraying Liam Neeson as a cowboy!😆😆😆
...A way of Australian way
The worst I've ever experienced with the ocean was a wave turned the float I was in and spilled my cousin and i into the water. I guess it was shallow enough that I hit my back on the sand and it knocked the breath out of me. I remember looking through the murky water and seeing the sun but the weight of the wave kept me pinned on my back and then I just popped up and was standing in knee deep water with my cousin not that far from me and the raft already on shore. It was so weirdly calm under the water, like I didn't think about needing to breathe or panic, it was surreal.
Same cousin also ended up being swept away by a strong undertow at another beach and I was the only one that noticed and swam after her. I'm glad she was small for her age (A year older then me) and I was a strong swimmer because we managed to get back to shore together but that was probobly scarier then being pinned underwater just because I could see the rest of our family getting smaller and smaller and no one noticed we were gone. I was glad the water was only going along the shore and not out to sea so at least that helped, we never lost sight of the shore.
40 seconds in and he's googling Google to google the inlet! I love you, Ozzy Man! 🤣
I always google for bing using firefox
"Oi Ozzy-Man!..Have a Look at this!....It's not a Bridge!...but I reckon it's Impressive!"😮😊 nudge nudge wink wink and all that Malarkey.
In boating we have what you call a "fetch", which the length of water subject to wind. More fetch, the bigger the waves. Haulover faces East-West. So on strong east winds, you are going to build up huge waves since it's limitless fetch to the east. When you see white caps as we see in almost every video, that implies minimum 3' waves. Rule of thumb 10ft of boat for every 1' of wave. So if you see caps, you should be minimum, 30' of boat. If you are spearing waves, meaning the bow is thrusting IN a wave, you shouldn't be out there. And for children under 13, they must be wearing a lifejacket while underway. So lots of dumbassery going on. Oh, and by the way, listing means tilting because of water.
As a long-time follower of Wavy Boats and Ozzy Man, I couldn't wait for this "collab"... It didn't disappoint me 😆
The 'Captains' watching this: defo the dodgy ocean.
Ozzy Man commenting for 11 minutes on a well edited Haulover inlet video. That just sounds like a recipe for good times. Thank you.Ozzy Man.
If you’re caught in a riptide swim parallel to the shore until you’re out of it, then you can swim to shore.
Funny this. I'm an American from Miami and my family was out on our small boat almost every weekend. My dad would always demand us to be seated and quiet when we went through Haulover inlet. Now I see why he was always so serious about it. My biggest ocean nightmare came when I lived in Perth and went to Burns Beach with my then 8 year old daughter. No lifeguards and not a person in sight. We got caught in the undertow and started spinning underwater like a washing machine. I grabbed hold of my daughters hair and fought our way back up and got the hell out of there. In 7 years of living in WA, that was my one and only time touching the Indian Ocean.

Reminds me of that time my dad had the great idea to visit the rock of Rheinfall (a big waterfall with a rock in the middle) with our pedal powered boat. Getting there was easy, but getting away not so much. Once you get close enough to a waterfall there's a current pulling you towards it
its rare to see an ozzy man video thats over 3 minutes long these days
.. only 2 in the last 10 where under 3 minutes ... should have gone with a 5 or 10 minute mark :)
@@JustKevH 7 out of his last 10 have been 3 minutes or less lol.. I mean either way clearly I didn't have to be precise for people to get what I'm on about though as you kindly just proved 🤦♂😂
@@Mank159make sure you're sorting videos by latest because the other commenter is right, it's just 2 out of last 10, not counting this one, that are under 3 minutes.
@@igrim4777 make sure you read my reply to him properly, I said clearly I don't have to be precise for people to get what I mean lol but I guess ill explain for the dimmer people, some of them are 3 mins 40 seconds ish lol
Yeah, I can't even tell you how many times the under tow got me in the ocean when I was a teenager. The first couple of times I did panic, for sure. But I got the hang of it quick. When you're in it you become so discom-fuckin-bobulated, you dont even know which direction is the surface! Then I quickly discovered the best thing to do is relax your entire body. That's the trick. The more you panic and fight it the worse it gets. You have to relax and let i just take you where it will, then, believe me, it kind of pushes you out of it and into calmer water. It works every time, I'm telling ya.
A Canberra boat is a beautiful thing.She sits in the driveway 9 months until it’s time drive 250 km to the ocean.
I last went in the ocean when I was 12. I was at oceanside ca, and got caught in an riptide/undertow that pulled me pretty far out, no matter how hard I swam the beach kept getting further away. Thankfully, a life guard got me back in, but that was it for me. The ocean is for looking at only now.
My favourite bridges is Jeff Bridges
BTW Waterworld is the name of that movie
Further edit, I thought it was Miami Beach on the Gold Coast, the Boston Whaler should've given it away. Good stuff Ozzie Man👍
When I was 8 my swim team went to the beach and I got caught in a rip tide. I swan horizontal to shore as taught and then in and got back, but I was so tired my legs were shaking and i scared the adults who coordinated the trip! Sometimes kids are less panicy, probably because we can't imagine the consequences of what could go wrong. I was so far out they couldn't see me!
Listing is the maritime term for leaning. Usually caused by intake of unwanted water.
Ozzyman, we need way more of these haulover commentary..😂😂😂
Use words like, Bury the bow, over the stern, heaving, planeing, quad Merc... Lobster, Crayfish....lol
I picture these words with humor next Haulover Responses...🤣🤣
Love it mate, gota do a few more, they are hilarious
My nearest death experience was at Sebastian Inlet which is about an hour North of Haulover. It's just as bad there. I was on a jet ski and getting huge air going out, coming back in is harder than going out. A wave caught my ski and blasted me so hard off the ski that it knocked the wind out of me. That sucks extra in a turbulent ocean! The ski and I both survived, but damn it was painful!
Sebastian inlet……blues
Brazil, around 04, my dad, brother and me managed to swim out of a particularly strong and green-wavy pulling sea. After that, my father was convinced the sea was too dangerous, commented that to a random dude standing next to us.
In a couple of minutes the dude was being laid on a stretcher and taken away by a helicopter. Don’t know if he made it. Will never know. Respect the sea.
Guess I'm just a slow @$$ learner. Nearly drowned 3 times already. The sea doesn't seem to like me much but I keep going back. Every time. Get hit by some big bastard wave and get dragged out to the deep. Hurt my feeling as well as my lungs
“Oi ozzyman look at this bridge in Melbourne”
Ah yes, Monty. We all know Monty bridge here, knew exactly which one you were talking about 😂
So I'm from America, and I know what a thong is! Is it because I'm older? I grew up calling flip-flops thongs. I'm not that old, though, I'm on the younger end of Gen X. But my grandparents would be 115 and 114 years old, and my mom calls where everyone goes to wash clothes a washateria.
I've seen these videos before and it never fails to anger me the way people leave their kids in the front of the boat without life jackets. So irresponsible ...
That's what I'm saying. No life jackets anywhere
It's America...Ma Freedumb
Another great one. Thanks Ozzy Man. FYI - you would really enjoy searching Blue Top Legend at Haulover Inlet. Great skills.
I have a few interesting ocean stories from being a Barney, as I didn't take up surfing until my 30's. After a couple of years I actually became mediocre at it. During the "learning curve" I almost lost a toe (bad cut from one of the fins), broke a rib and a incurred a concussion. The concussion was probably the scariest incident as it almost knocked me unconscious and I was surfing alone at the time.
There's no entertainment like Haulover entertainment. The only really scary thing is the complete lack of lifejackets on ANYBODY most of the time. Haulover doesn't play around. Ozzy - check out the boats with SIX Mercs on them!
Listing is what you do when you walk home from the pub, Ozzy.
Wavy boats is just one out of several channels that videos boats at haulover.
Yes and Alfred and his alligator.
This is Florida boating in a nutshell, too many boats with no captains.
So the life jacket protocol seems to be, "Put it on when it is too late"
We're in 'Murica. Land of the free. Guv'ment can't tell me to wear a life jacket, or do something sensible to protect my kids lives.
Shuusshh Muricans don't like to be told what to do. They hate rules and prefer to experience things head on
If you want to get on a boat without a life jacket in conditions where you are likely to be thrown overboard and drowned, you can. To me that's beautiful.
@@swanronson173 The right to free speech, including the phrase "Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle..."
Ozzy Man! You missed the absolute best of Haulover Inlet. There are a pair of teenage girls who absolutely shred that inlet in a little Boston Whaler called Blue Top Legend. Those two put every boater to absolute shame in the inlet.
Those girls are awesome.
I grew up in Florida, and my dad’s a boat captain…. He’s going to love this video omg hahahahaahha!!!, you are hilarious!!, please do more haulover video commentary 😂😂😂😂
i want to see how Timbo would handle these waves
Your American accent is priceless 😅😅😅
Listing means it is leaning to one side, this is due to the boat taking on water.
Such a funny word but they can't say tilting?
At 11 I got set adrift - couldn't paddle fast enough to go back to shore
At 12 I almost drowned - high waves
At 13 I basically had a repeat of the first time
At about 2 mins your imitation was so spot on and hilarious!! Absolutely sounds like some one from my area especially, Northern MN. 😂😂😂😂
