    That dude got rocked! Trying to figure out what he was doing with the throttle... trying to air it out over that wake?

    He was trying to run it like we run offshore racing boats...full throttle when hull is down, pull back when it's up (jumping) but clearly he sucks at it. Maybe he didn't realize REAL racers & go-fasts use a dedicated throttleman in rough conditions. He was also taking seas at the wrong angle on a boat with a very sharp deadrise AND a stepped hull. Ugh! He got caught up in the troughs and damn near killed himself and his passengers. Rookie mistake. But a rookie should NOT have a boat like THAT!
