@@Pete-z6e Let me guess you were a male synchronized swimmer in your youth or you have a daughter who's into it? Nobody watches it and it's not popular like it used to be unfortunately. Replace it
To me as a sort of yacht designer, surfer and swimmer this is really interesting. A combination of design, fitness, strength, skill, reaction time, morale and sheer luck. I wasn't going to watch it but I'm glad I did. Sport on the finest edge
Darrell Eastlake what a great call , this guy knew the sport . Made it an absolute spectacular. Gone are the days of commentators that shared plenty of beers with the athletes to learn the jargon and vibe . Miss you big Fella....
There was an Australian Day Carnival event at Freshwater Beach. The surf was freaking huge and I was watching from White waves the high rise units opposite the Hilton. The men’s division started and the surf was so big all the contestants sat in the shallows waiting for a break in the sets. All of a sudden they all started rowing for the horizon like man men , it was psycho as the sweeps had all screamed for their crew to put their backs into getting out, and they all did, went round the buoys and started to come back in but another set was on the horizon….
Oh my god I am from st.Petersburg Russia, fond of sailing and stuff But THAT WAS AMASING!!!!! This is a team work !!!!! Helmsmen are real masters of steering ...... bravo! And thanks I really loved it ))))
Strange ! I was actually talking about this sport to a mate today, which I referred to as something I watched years and years ago .. and have never looked at since. I don't even know why I mentioned it to my friend today. Suddenly it appeared on YT .. I didn't actually look for it either. better play the lottery tonight 😃
@@jcproductions007 Me personally i love the place, its a very coastal town i always go and walk along the beach with the dogs and drive down to check if the surf is on, 5 minute drive from my house is the big boat ramp in to put my boat in for a fish over the weekend, easy drive up to mount kiera for the mx track as i also ride, if you feel like going out for a night wollongong is only a 10 minute drive or if you feel like going to the city its only an hour away. It depends what you are into i guess as everyone is different i live a pretty active lifestyle and it fits perfect for me but not everyone is going to agree with me :) i have lived there my whole life and did not know there was a zoo there :P
Somewhere you'll find a movie called ( I think) 'The History of Australian Surfing'. There's a scene on a Sydney Beach (Collaroy?) where a crew are out in 20ft plus surf and willing paddle into a monster drop and make it, almost. Carnage.
I just read “two years before the mast” about a sailors experience on the merchant tall ships off of California in the 1800s. And how they had to haul goods off and onto the shore in boats like these through the treacherous surf on a regular basis. I would expect the same thing happened off of Australia. I wonder if the sport stemmed from that experience.
You're close I think. As far as I'm aware, back before inflatable powerboats, rowboats like these were used in surf rescue, and for picking the survivors of shipwrecks out of the ocean when ships ran aground near the shore. Needless to say, ships don't tend to run aground in flat weather - and rescuing survivors usually involved rowing out into surf.
These men are surf lifesavers. Every coastal town in Australia has a Surf Lifesaving Club. They hold a range of competitions on the beaches and in the water.
Hi Graeme, how are you going? Mate not sure if you can but do you have access to the 2000 U21 Aussie final? Can't find this anywhere and just about every other race is there🤔
Good race, and these guys go out in crazy, much worse conditions. I wonder if there is a surf boat wipe out video on TH-cam? Would be absolute carnage. It reminds me of how they select crew for the surf boat. 1. Line up candidate against a wall. 2. Throw bricks at them. 3. Anyone who dodges the bricks, is out. Imagine being smashed by oars and bodies and surf when it all goes wrong, as it inevitably does. Serious courage of anyone who goes out in these things.
Hawaiian’s and a variety of Polynesians have had some pretty seaworthy vessels (the outrigger canoe (6,4,3,2,1person sizes). This a pretty interesting anglo-saxton western Whitey boat design!!! I wanna see a 6 man race one of these surfboats ....
Каждая из этих лодок представляет собой клуб, эти клубы - клубы спасателей серфингистов, которые летом патрулируют пляжи. Эти клубы соревнуются между собой, чтобы определить, кто из них лучший и самый сильный. До появления моторных лодок, способных преодолевать прибой, эти гребные лодки использовались для спасения людей, которым угрожала опасность утонуть. Надеюсь, это поможет объяснить это немного подробнее.
Oh mighty TH-cam algorithm how hath thou graced us today?
The algorithm gave this one to me because I'm a kayaking fan that recently began binging olympic sailing.
Preeye harth mate
ARE YOU ENTERTAINED!!!
What a silly sport. I love it!
@@mooseman8607
“ISN’T THIS WHY YOU ARE HERE?!”
Can we please make this an Olympic sport?
2024
We would have to lose synchronised swimming ,are you ready for the disappointment?
@@Pete-z6e not. Funny.
@@yogiballa Yes it is

Darrell was such a great commentator his enthusiasm and ability to put you right in the action is legendary ....was best in the business hands down...
Yeah one of the best sports commentaror I have heard

Those Aussies have damn good sport inventions. No frills, no gimmicks, just fun. Way better than the boring Olympics.
What an amazing sport! Love how the rowers run to the back of the boat when riding the wave in. It should be an Olympic sport.... For sure.
those guys are phenomally strong -thats one crazy sport
Oh my god
I am from st.Petersburg Russia, fond of sailing and stuff
But THAT WAS AMASING!!!!! This is a team work !!!!! Helmsmen are real masters of steering ......
bravo! And thanks I really loved it ))))
The 'helmsman' is actually called a Sweep in surf boat racing. The role of the Sweep is to act as a rudder by sweeping the water with the long oar.
Yes, good algorithm this the kind of back content I like to see on my feed.
2001....just on the cusp of the world turning into Assholeville.....Great to hear Mr Es voice again
Brits roll cheese down and hill and say hi fetch... the ozzie chase a wave in a row boat.... lol
Props to the film crew back then 👍
It's a helmet cam, I believe
surfboat competition? damn why didn't we have this in Hawaii? This is epic.
Cruise ship Emergency row boat rowing competition from Kahului harbor upwind to Maliko gulch.... lmfao
I know, I'm a Texas coast rower, would be all over this. Gotta get some peeps interested!
First time encountering this sport in my life 👍🏼
20 years later and it didn't disappoint
I did not know this was a thing. I LOVE it.
Give this gem about a year or so
It's starting right now. Lol.
Darrell Eastlake would commentate chess with the same excitement. Go you big fella! Miss you.
4:40 the best team work moment
What a great sport. Looks like a ton of fun.
Darryl made watching the Aussies....THRILLING
Grazie a youtube se dalla mia comoda poltrona dal sud dell'Italia posso vedere queste magnifiche manifestazioni dalla lontanissima Australia. Bravi

Showww
Muita técnica e força 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
GO!! GO NOWW!!! this is fantastic
Darryl Eastlake. I loved listening to him yell. 🇦🇺👍🍺
Daryl Eastake, what a legend! Grew up watching the surf boats training at my club Maroochydore SLSC and training in the Maroochydore River.
I hope he's still out their shrieking, great stuff 👍
I'd put an oar to the head of an asshole yelling like that. Some people just like abuse.

Whats so good about it, the zoo, the 7 eleven, library ? Nothings happened to Corrimal in decades! Think you need to get out more Brenden 🤣

Insane sport! Incredible athleticism!
It looks like an Interesting sport but what language is the announcer speaking. I could not understand half of what he was saying.
English?
Aussies
'strayan ;)
Didn’t know this was a thing but it cool I love it
Crazy , awesome skills 🇨🇦👍
Wow! Awesome! Amazing team effort to stay afloat! Thank you for sharing!
Great to see. Rowed in a junior boat crew for a West Australian club many years ago.
A sport I never knew I loved
I had never heard of this sport. Really cool!
My Mum used to warn me , if I didn’t behave she was going to send me to nsw with the rest of the common criminals.
The way of the world, the criminals were sent to Australia and the religious nutters sailed to America and what happened?
That is such a frickin' amazing sport!
Hope these lads are competing in U45 seniors these days
I never knew about that sport until just now but of course it's Australian.
A real sport with real waves and real boats, awesome

If you like that you should read the Hornblower series...

Love Australia...before what we have now...
Looks like extreme coastal rowing
Well, this should be on Eurosport for sure!
I worked in the woolies in Corrimal back in 2001 when I was at uni. lol
Really strong! A nice surprise...
What a way to go out in the final…..how the heck else do you go out in this sport?

Sorry mate... this is all I had
Wow this is incredible such skill so dope
This is my new favorite sport does this even exist anymore
Sure is in Australia
This was epic!
Just awesome 👏
Fantastic! How is this not Olympic? They'd get half the world watching nailbiters like this! :-)

Dont Know how I ended up here - But nice video for sure 👍
480p? Why?
Legend sweep in the winning boat
👏👏👏 from brazil
Very nice race!!!
cool 👍👏👏
Anyone’s right ear dead after this
Pure Darryl Eastlake class!
Seems more like chaos than a race.
Thats that ozzymanreviews- school back in the days
The only sport that doesnt need an ozzie man review
.. on the other hand Ozzie would smash this stuff
People are funny. When something is not so easy they will make a Sport Discipline out of it.
Lovely stuff
Wonderful sports 👍
Bilge pumps are workin over time
Why do they wear bathing caps? What are they good for?
So they can identify,which club,they are from
What a great way to start a rowboat race.
I swear I thought it would be a joke video before clicking
where in austria is this
Australia,Queensland(Gold Coast)
Looks like fun.
Ничего не понятно, но очень интересно :)

I thought it was mixed race. Didn't know ozzie men used to wear bikinis. But hey, what's more manlier than a man comfortable with his sexuality?
Ahahahaa they’re wearing what we call “Budgie Smugglers” here in Australia
this is 2020 video? looks 90s at best
probably taped on vhs and then years later uploaded to youtube
Haha ty algorithm I enjoyed this
This is so 2001
That was neat
Hahaha, awesome sport! Pretty shure the guy on the rudder is an ex-marine drill sargeant 😂
... or maybe a relative of Bonn Scott or Brian Johnson? ;)
Graeme is a good boaty
Good stuff
These look like boats! 🚣
can we have this instead of skateboarding in the Olympics please
They've got so small swim briefs 😅
As a rower (inland, not costal) thais looks absolutely horrific...
Every board riders nightmare
Интересно
Men of culture, does this sport have women's teams?
Yes, but you're not man enough for those Sheila's!
