Ok big bad wave riders.............. Check out this decked boater's decent. I have no sound here on my office computer but the drop is supposed to be a world record. I need to hop off to "boatertalk" and catch up on the details............

I'll stick to going "over the falls" with double overhead waves on a sand bottom. That's my limit.

I grew up not far from there. I was amazed when I heard about this. I've hiked near the lip before, too scary, dude's got major something.

For this to work he has to go nose first all the way, otherwise i'm sure a belly-flop at 100mph would be fatal. Hows it done?
