Fantastic...gives the rest of us an insight of how a surf boat crew works , the sweep knows how to trim the boat and the crew seems well trained . All Australians know why the rowers have bare arses , the mankini comments must be from international viewers.
They are wearing nylon brief swimming trunks , “Speedo’s” 🇦🇺, (that’s another Aussie Icon ) , they aren’t a g-string but rather hitched / wedged up when rowing ….😂 .When the rowers are rowing they are sliding back and forth on wetted gelcoat surface of the fibreglass seat , the bare skin slides better and chafes less. If they were to use a sliding seat like those in a rowing scull they wouldn’t need to hitch up speedos but you can imagine how unstable that seat would be in big surf. I hope that helps international viewers ……Just an extra bit now . The way the surf club senior members select the rowers in these boats is to line up prospective candidates in front of a brick wall and throw bricks at them ……those who don’t duck are deemed fit for training , have a look at some images and video footage of surf boats in huge surf and you’ll understand.
Damn they must have been thinking "can it please stop we gotta row all the way back..." All jokes aside that looks fun and he sounds like an amazing coach.
I'm a surfer, I grew up in Torquay...in Devon, England ! This is great guys! One day I'd love to go to the Ausie Torquay... That helms good, kept it trimmed nicely.
I was in torquay once. Stayed at a nice little place called Flowery Twats. It was great aside from that tall fellow screaming at everyone all the time. We had to do a fire drill. It was a cluster fck

@@bastidaverio9211 I dunno. I feel like there must be a reason boats use ballast tanks instead of gyros. probably just because they're so massive. I think a gyro of that size would be dangerous
Why is it so important to all these insecure commenters what these men choose to wear? Masculinity and heteronormativity must be extremely fragile if it requires so much harassing of others. Give it a rest and just enjoy the athleticism. Don't worry what that might mean about your gender and sexual identity.
Looks like a lot of fun, but it does not translate well to video. Could not see the surf could not feel the tilt or much of the speed. If you are aren’t a surfer of any kind it’s hard to translate what is being shown to how your body would feel if you were there. Perhaps a wider angle lens would’ve helped. Thanks for the ride!
That is a kick arse effort. So easy to bugger it up. Sweep was right on the money. You just don't get waves like that at Bondi. to train on..excuses....
Having been a surf boat rower for long time I can only dream of a ride that long, great skills and teamwork .
Hey why do you guys wear those panties when you’re rowing? Just curious

Surf boat rower, that sounds like fun hahahah
Oh shhh
*Women of culture and distinction, the algorithm has reunited us once again!*
Half of me is like, “cool!”
Other half, “get a surfboard!”
wouldn't work though would it
Half of me is like, "cool!"
Other half, "get some boardshorts!"
That was cool - those guys are well drilled. Borat may want his mankini back at some point tho. What's that all about
partybiscuit reduces friction on ya bum..
srsly i always wonder how those dudes can stand the view
for what buttsex? :P
I bet they are well drilled...
@@GonzoDonzo in all seriousness, to slide easier on the long plastic seats as they row.
First few things I see about this sport. Impressive how they use the trim to make the best use of the wave. Thanks for the upload!
What a crew and captain. Beautiful
Thanks TH-cam algorithm to bring me this, didn't know that surf boat was a sport, it's crazy and looks really fun too !
Fantastic...gives the rest of us an insight of how a surf boat crew works , the sweep knows how to trim the boat and the crew seems well trained . All Australians know why the rowers have bare arses , the mankini comments must be from international viewers.
With all due respect, what is the answer that all Australians allegedly know regarding the rowers trunk choice (yes, for an international viewers)?
@@Youtoober22 I'm wondering about that as well. There doesn't seem to be a particular reason why they have that type of trunks.

Thanks for the explanation. I was wondering myself and knew there was a legit reason for it.
As a sweep myself there is nothing better than being up on those chocks.
Awesome well performed. Gratz!
Never seen this before. Didn´t now that sth like a surboat exists.
Ty4up & best regards
So AWESOME!!!
man i'd love to try this... 1.5 years of lockdown has put me into a deep depression, cant even imagine having like this anymore.
Magnificent boat handling and communication. Go Navy.
australian life saves no war here mate!
never knew this was a thing. looks like fun!
Damn they must have been thinking "can it please stop we gotta row all the way back..."

@Jeffro Lans Yeah lol the wave took them back to shore, so now they have to peddle alllllll the way out to sea again
That was awesome!!!!👍

Did this once in an outrigger in Hawaii, though without all of the trimming. It was straight out of Hawaii 5-0.
Never knew this was a thing! Awesome
Fantastic!
so much skill, any negative comments on here are so ill informed, great work!!
just awesome
Great teamwork
That was awesome!
Why is that dude wearing a g string
They all wear them like that so they can slide along the seat when rowing
Weight reduction
Adam Pezzelle @underatedcoments
Aerodynamics lol
Freak a deak
Those blokes brought some cake!
Why is everyone commenting on their „shorts“. Isn’t that manly enough for you? Well you guys must be real though men lol😂
Oh jesus I thought they were girls I was looking so hard
@@sniffinmefingers7691 lmao
Super cool... minus the bikini bottoms.
Is that all you concentrate on?
lol
Ahahaha, you have to wear them like that so you slide along the seat
Ahahaha
@@MrSaxophoneGamer
Sure thing, fella.
Do they still throw the brick at try outs ?
Epic!
Yooo this is sick!! 😆
Haha holy hell! That was awesome!
I see that they "wax".
hahahaha
Well done guys!!
Awesomeness!!!
Awesome!
shredding. nice kickout at the end...
Holy mazola! A one kilometre wave ride!!!!!!
U bloody ripper, now this could be the crew to join for dearlove relay ......to go
Totally badass
Awesome
That looks like a boat! 🚣
everyone involved did very well
I see you've played knifey spoonie before!
Dang! Now they have paddle all that way back out. Bummer
I have never seen waves like that in Torquay South Devon
Published before it occurred (according to the description).
Pretty cool
If there wasn't a Davo in this video i would have been very disappointed.
okay today i learned this exists
Impressive.
Badass!!!
Cool!
Looks like fun
Holy cow
Shit.....nice wave, good calls
i dont know anything about this but it was cool
Who downvotes this? That was great!
BOOTY BOOTY BOOTY ROCKIN EVERYWHERE!!!
Yo these Brits are all about some naval discipline what a sound bunch
Australians.
woah didn't even know this was possible. now i'm thinking every boat should use their ballast tanks actively over waves to save fuel.
This is a great idea, do you think a boat with a gyro to keep it stable could use the gyro to tilt the boat to surf
@@bastidaverio9211 I dunno. I feel like there must be a reason boats use ballast tanks instead of gyros. probably just because they're so massive. I think a gyro of that size would be dangerous
Proper surfing🔑🤙🏼
Nice glide
Виртуозы!
looks like a lot more fun for the coxswain than anyone else
Yep
o for awesome
Why not tell us where this is?
What is this sport called?
Bad ass
Wait so this isn’t usual in the sport?
Even more of a pain in the arse than SUPs.😆
Need a multiple like button
That wave wore a Akubra Hat for a kilometer
Free ride!
👏👏👏👏👏
Electric minkonta helped a lot ;-)
Esto un cántabro de to hace con una sola mano.
Drone shot would have been nice
TRISTAN!
Cheeeeeee this is sick!!!!!
cool vid, whats up with the thongs though?

The social friction is more about literal friction. Skin slides better over the seats.
Where's Strop?
36km an hour not bad...

Fuck YEAH..hi FROM maroochydore..
34.4 km/h
Geranamo....Phew
so uh how the fuck are they going so fast? someone tell me?
Imagine falling of at the start of the wave
surprised it is not windy
Is this team in transition?
lower risk of shark attack
Strokes in the middle cost ya.
a lot of budgies being smuggled
"MAKE ME A SANDWICH"

Puaj!!! Please find a sponsor for outfit!!!!
What is up with the g strings? Does it make you go faster or farther?
Two words.............Board Shorts! PLEASE.
Board shorts don't slide on the seats. You need to wet the seat and be skin on or it doesn't work.
torquay? where's Basil Fawlty?
