The music on this vid is "Jacqui Siu - Get Lucky" sorry I forgot to add it to my description.
Hey Rod, got a link to the song version by any chance? Couldn't find it for the life on me. Thanks
Especially this segment... RoKKiT "Out in the open ocean - woohoo" *music fades in* epic ocean footage driving into the sunrise with lascivious chillout sound in the background... an absolute piece of art. Wished I could frame that and hang on a wall. I would watch that wall a lot.
Dont know if you guys gives a damn but if you are stoned like me during the covid times then you can watch pretty much all of the new movies and series on InstaFlixxer. Been streaming with my gf for the last few days =)
@Dillon Emery Yup, I have been using instaflixxer for since december myself =)
Moments like these are when you feel like you're the only person on the planet, a smooth skiff and flat sea's and your in another world of pure bliss !!! Great vid man tight lines my friend
This video is a piece of art. I specifically bookmarked 13:44 as my daily ASMR. I usually watch this 2min-ish stretch after I get up when I have a particularly bad ocean-craving.
Love days like this. You’ll have to tow me out next trip, ha ha.
Let me know when Andy👍
Hola Andy's Fishing
A little bit of a tip for you my friend. If you would stand one step forward to the boat. You will drag less water. And your boat will get on the plane a lot quicker using less fuel. You seem to be pushing a lot of water with your weight being at the rear of the boat. I'll maybe get a longer fuel line I put your fuel tank to the front of the boat.
Man, your cinematography has reached a new high. Really digging your editing man. Keep fishing. I'm enjoying every video!
When the rest of the world gets up for the first lunar eclipse in 746 years but the kids wake you up for Rokkits new video instead.
Ballarat Ebikes I was up for both 😂 best of both worlds
Yep :)
Hahaha me too!
Was about to tuck my head back into the pillow and tell them to leave me alone but the groms were like "dad quick get up, rokkits new skiff vid is up"
Tohatsu makes the best motors around. Have full confidence in her! Awesome skiff
The way you put some of that footage together matched perfectly with the vibe of that song i really liked it kudos to you Rod awesome vid mate 👍
gillylikesbikes His editing is awesome, choice of music too. it's never off the feel of the video
. Most people mess this up all the time
That shot at 15:20 is true beauty. Perfect shot Rod! Shhhhhhh-suga!
Super cool setup. That thing is going to be a beast out there. Can't wait to see some more footage!
Cheers!
that is the sweetest freaking ride i have ever seen!!!!
Maaate those glassed out drone shots got me right in the feels absolutely epic. Keen for the coming vids good luck!
having more drone shots would be amazing! I just started to watch all your videos in no specific order and so they kinda jump around a bit. Out of all the videos i've seen though this has to be my favorite. Great job keeping everything real - its always inspiring to hear your positive attitude, even in bad situations.
The behind from the right still boom angle is , comic book good , your super man flying brother 🙌🏻
Yep that’s the money shot angle😃
Awesome! Look forward to seeing you fish more on it
By far the best video I've seen a long time
Epic man! Definitely making me question if I need a full sized boat to enjoy my fishing! Skiff revolution!
Yea these definitely a limit to what she will handle but it’s so much fun to fish and blast around on👌
RoKKiT on a rocket, epic build lad, look forward to future skiff adventures.
Looks good! Looking forward to getting mine, and then saving up for the yak again lol.
dude, insane videos, YOU and MTF are the best and most humble fishing channels on youtube. love it, keep it up! big hookups!!
Thanks mate 🤙
I've been watching your videos non stop - I love your stoke. Just purchased a 1981 15ft whaler
Stealth better be payin' you Phat Stax! What a video! Intro is PROfessional quality! Can't wait to see you catchin' some fish off the Powerfisha Skiff!
such a great video!!! I smashed the like button as soon as B-roll intro sequence started!! huge fan! thanks for the great content
Drone work is taking it to the next level mate....sweet....yeeew.
Good stuff, good to see it in action :) Plus the sounder looks good.
Looking forward to more.
Yep sounder reads clear at 30km!
Man that thing is a beast. So happy to see you living the dream dude
Nice vessel, the fact that it is a two stroke ads to the excitement as well, I'm not particularly fond of four stroke outboards myself!
Man now I want one! I think I might make the skiff myself as I made a few paddle boards succesfully!
Yea would be a good project for sure
RoKKiT KiT I made one, only have 1.2hp too slow! What hp is that motor?
M8 that looks great
Seen u had the halco lure with ya hope u got the bolt cutters .
Nothing better than waking up to a new vid by rod the skiff man
Haha yep and now there a treble on the back😆 what could go wrong!
Where do u launch from is it telly?
WOW Rod thats some flat water. Wish I wasnt busy or I would be out there too. Skiff looks brilliant out there. 👍👍👍
One of the best glass outs I’ve seen
good tunes man
Looks like a lot of fun I want one
Great video and nice drone shots
Surf fishing!!! Yea!!!!!!
You were NOT Wrong , when you aptly named the Skiff as the "WEAPON" ... ( Fit out Video )
Unbelievable !!!
Great Video on your Maiden Voyage ...
Brilliant !!!!
Love the edits man looks sick🤙
This think looks insanely smooth on the water 😍 cant wait to see more of it !
Nice setup. Love the video
Man, that looks like so much fun...
Dude, amazing job! The skiff build turned out great. Such a great edit 🤙🏼
Who's going to be the first to land a marlin in their skiff??? You or Timmy?? Great vid!
Me😆
Great video! Big fan on you and Tim collaborating together!
Anyone else watch this 3 or 4 times already as well? LOL.
Yes I’m guilty, watched 6 or 7 times. Love it.
7 people missed the like button.... come on fella's let's smash the like button! Spread some love
wow, that thing is awesome. There is actually a dealer in FL where i am
Yea I think they are getting some in soon
THAT INTRO THOUGH!! AMAZED
Wow she looks like she hammers. Gotta love the extra hp. Love this edit, love the skiff. Great job RoKKiT.
Thanks Brook! Yea I’m glad I went the bigger engine👌
Thanks Brook! Yea I’m glad I went the bigger engine👌
Yeah, means you can get to the spot quicker, get home quicker and out of trouble easier. Great choice.
awesome vid rod
Very NICE, high five. (Borat voice)
Well done ROKKIT
Away from the family atm working remote but so far this has been The most awesome start to my day! Got up watched the blood moon and watch Rokkit Kit! Now to keep smashing out some board walk at Skipjack Point for the punters 👍
Cheers for the vid Rod.
Cheers Mate, glad you enjoyed it🤙
Awesome video , I wish I had that setup here ..editing was also awesome cheers mate.
Beauty. Nice.
Wow..... Awsome bro 🤙🏾🤙🏾
I reckon a grab rail that folds down when fishing and a camp chair would sinister this set up just perfectly 👌🏼
Rod one of your best vids. Love the idea of the skiff can you do a loading on your car video if possible cheers
Will include a loading soon👍
I’m glad that I’m lightweight cuz the boat will go faster lol
Video is two years old....hopefully this question finds you. How has the Tohatsu outboard held up? I'm going to need an outboard soon and decent used ones are almost impossible to find right now. I'll have to break down and buy a new motor and need to find the best value. Whatever thoughts you can share about Tohatsu is appreciated! Thanks!
Sweet ride brother. I love your choice of music. Sweet editing.
Mate skiff looks mint and this is fimed and put together so well
Wow nice 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
This video is all class!!!! I've missed what hp you went from to what you have on now. Love to know please. Don;t know whether to get the 14 or 16.
Nice chariot
Awesome intro and drone footage. That thing hammers along. Awesome setup.
totally awesome Rod !
You handle the waves just as you should nice one :)
Damm those skiffs look awesome - I wish that they made them in a 2 person version, they would be an awesome dive platform....
I think they maybe doing that 👍
Google Powerfisha 16 - they are out there!
Mama said there would be days like this.
That a sick lil rig awesome stuff👍👍
finally subbed coz of this once setting off out to sea had me thinking why haven't i done so yet KEEP IT UP!!!
Right on bro. If you see my old vid. I also put on a motor on my hobie too
sweet stuff!!! omg
Amazing vid RodKitKit !! I love this video and I also love your new SKIFF keep up the amazing work man !!
sweet vid man, looks like a leaning bar would be sick on this for your rides out!!
Looks good mate , thinking a aluminum tube back support used while traveling and fishing, which could be folded down out of the way
Ye man if you didn’t attach that kill switch I was gonna comment on it. The rig is nothing short of amazing. Looking forward to upcoming vids.
Wow that’s so cool I am now saving up
Great vid RoKKit.
Fantastic mate enjoyed it .. you probably already know but top of the motor looking back.. 120fps slowed to 24 will look awesome going over the bar ... Cheers
Yea will have to get a few more angles going for sure. 👍
Love this bro...open water shots are soooo sic. Keep it up. Inspiring brother.
Wow, great intro!
Great vid
Awesome video as usual Rod!
Keep up the good work man
White knuckles baby👍
Sick intro brother. I got the feels.
16:36 dad mode just kicked in. =P Nice review and editing BTW!
Awesome Video, Live in Hawaii, think this setup is jus what id like to pursue, Keep up the good work
Woo hoo!
Epic Video! How were those conditions!? So jealous that our seas around here are not glassy like that at the moment. Oh wait.. test of skiff.. right. Good test! :D haha
Thanks mate, yea those glass outs don’t happen often... but when they do👌
Nice boat : )
Yeaaa man!! Wicked 🤙
This looks amazing and dangerous!!! What if you fall into the water and you can't get back on the skiff because say your safety devices fail and engine keeps running? I wouldn't go on this THING to the open ocean! I saw a huge salt water croc on Andy's video as well...:)
I’ll need to be carful 🤙
F#%K that looks fun, stop giving me ideas 😂😂
Well done
Cool vid opening!
Wow. That skiff and motor go so well. So jealous. My hobie pa14 is so slow.
For added safty outrigger would be good like hobie ama sidekick. Wouldn't like to flip the skiff.
Hey do you need get a boat license and rig out that skiff with boat gear lights etc.
Yes to license over 6hp in Qld. I have the Railblaza nav lights that attach to the star ports
thought I recognised talle,
great video mate
you shred the arms and hold balance, I recommend a bow of stainless steel to hold and control the boat better, I see that still entrsndo water to new version 😫, to me with modification does not emtra nothing 😊, a greeting, and be careful that with the rope is dangerous 👍🏼
I’d much prefer to go over the front into the water then to be hit by a metal bar... definitely need to be careful about when I go fast for sure👍
