This guy was a pro. I suspect that he's a surfer too, as he knows wave movements, set displacements, rip currents and add in a whole lot of patience. This guy is a prol!
Awesome boating. Nice and calm and quite, went to the right spot and waited for the perfect time then had the right amount of grunt to take advantage of the drop off set of waves. Much respect to that operator.

Wouldn’t be a bit surprised if this bloke has done a little surfing in his time. Knows how to wait for a lull in the sets that inevitably comes before you make you charge to get out the back rather than trying to just keep punching through waves sapping all your energy and often just not getting anywhere.
@@johndoe1778 Surfers ride waves and understand sets better than anyone else because they do it all the time in the sea. Boats only do it once when they go out and once when they come out. Surfers do it non stop while they're in the ocean to catch the best waves.
Great public service in showing the virtue of patience: beyond avoiding a swamping, could also keep Grandma riding up on the bow from breaking the other hip too!
There is no way that you can beat experience Dont even try! This bloke and his mate knew what they were doing. Probably done it a hundred times before. Well done boys.
Sweet! That's the way, if you notice his angle to the waves he could have got out of the way and waited patiently until the cresting cycle unstacked and had the power to take advantage.
As someone who is pretty terrified of bar crossings like that, the amount of lessons and confidence I have taken from that short video is huge!!!
@chris
That's great to hear mate. I'm sure Theo the skipper will be pleased to know that someone benefited from it and took the time to say so.
@@fishingnoosa I hear about the techniques - but seeing it - fantastic. If more people had patience and watched this it would save a life or two
Besides slowly traversing the shallows, waiting for a a smaller set of waves, is there any other lessons to take away from this video?

Patience always pays
Patience is a virtue...
Why on earth don't other boaters just show the patience and smarts of this captain ? Simple really.
So many just cannot read the surf.
Good skippers > bad skippers
Age & experience. The older you get, the more fruitless impatience you see everywhere.
Too boring that why.
This guy is probably a surfer thats spent thousands of hours watching waves.
Great patience shown by Skipper...timed to perfection

Best video on learning how to handle big waves!
cant help it when you are a genius - in a Cat too - great work you blokes.
Show this to Wavyboats viewers. It would blow their minds hahaha

Thinking the same as a surfer. Watch even more closely as the tide goes out and the face of the wave jacks up even more on the sandbar.
100% wave experience. I was watching it the same way you were which is the same way the captain was.
Wave experience not surfer haha I know the waves from fishing and being on boats a lot 🤙👌

@@JohnSmith-zo6ir haha I get what you're saying but everyone I know that fishes or boats knows about sets, hell most people in Australia do
That's what you call a real skipper on the water😁 I'll be wearing a seat belt🤣😂
Patience and timing like all the other comments said will get any boat out the bar, but in a 🐈⬛ makes it so much smoother!
Perfect vessel for it, weight forward and buoyant as f#&k.
Absolutely brilliant
This guy has done a bit of surfing for shore.
He knows how to read the swell on a sandbank!
Great job 👏
Got to love cats. He's either a surfer or has done plenty of beach launches
Dude knows his shit
Bar crossing 101 right there.
Great public service in showing the virtue of patience: beyond avoiding a swamping, could also keep Grandma riding up on the bow from breaking the other hip too!
Those yellow numbers are a dead giveaway that he knows his way around.

Well done boys.
Notice the black n yellow pro numbers on the side. 🤙
Sweet!

Perfect
Look at the point going off in the background...
Cats make us cat owners feel very safe crossing bars
That's how you do it. Slowly and carefully
Cats seem to do really well on that bar
Well done skipper, well done
Experience and patience
Hopefully watching enough of these videos will rub off on me
That's how it's done. Wait and watch and understand what sets are. He IDd the last one and went.
Perfect soundtrack timing as well. Who so playing?
@Eric Shayer
SefChol. Details above.
I was waiting for Axl Foley to make an appearance
Ohh yeah slow speed and patience it works.
I subscribed well done 👏 what hp 90 or 115
@Joshua Banwaree
According to skipper Theo Hewish... "Only 60s. They were high thrust models so super low geared. Jumped out of the hole really well.
@@fishingnoosa wow really , interesting
All down to a count of 7 much the same everywhere but not always
That was a well performed bar crossing.. but wasn’t like a boss
What boat is this? Cheers
Hey, do you know why he decided to take that route out in front of the tower instead of where the main channel currently is?
@Samuel Forrest
This is archival footage from February last year when the channel crossing was over in the bathing area.
@@fishingnoosa thanks mate. I can't read haha, cheers
i thought you have to ware life jacket crossing the bar there
@Kyle Rankmore
Mandatory on boats under 4.8 metres.
I thought all Bar crossings in qld need jackets
@@pweter351 No. Must be worn on boats up to 4.8 metres.
Hes a commercial fisherman he probably does it on a daily bases so he would know how and when to go over
Looks like old mate has done his time sitting out there on a longboard reading the sets.
@ATS-369
Yes, Theo is a surfer from the year dot.
Show this to the muppet captains at Haulover inlet and Boca Inlet in the US. They are a joke compared to these guys.
Just like waiting at point breaks to jump in for a surf.
You have to have experience in reading surf.
Este manja dos paranauê.
"Swim" out past the breakers...
wow the channels a long way down the beach now
@D3 Delta 3D
From the archives.
Anyone know the type of cat?
@Andrew Newman
It's a 5.2m Noosacat
Niiice!.
Boss
Never RUSH watch the sets and the time will come not slowing down and assessing the Ocean is the first and last mistake alot of people make :)
He's done that once or twice..
Notice boat has yellow patch on side I'd guess it has lfb on it licence fishing boat
Yes. Pro boat.
Its called timing the sets
Patience.
He took all the fun out of sinking a boat and becoming victim.
Didn't cost anything to sit there a short while work out what's going on as opposed to costing everything.
He should be good at it there pro numbers on the side of the boat
@Aaron Riley
Yes mate, as per the introductory text above... "local pro fisherman Theo Hewish..."
@@fishingnoosa sorry mate I didn't read any comments I just watched the vid
@@aaronriley1833 All good mate. Happy New Year.
Here in WA USA, we take 12 foot aluminum boats through stuff like that!
Boss don't think so pretty average really for 3ft slop
Obviously not his 1st rodeo, Experience Just cant buy it.
frustrating watching this guy.
Help if ya lived thier ya hole life a just know the way she rolls
