Are Aussies the only nationality who do crazy things like row boats in the surf?

Its the guys at the front that make me laugh, they either take all their mates out on the way down or fly out of said boat, bruises all round. :D

So... just like wiping out and going over the falls... but with a boat (a heavy boat).... and flailing oars.... and your mates landing on you.... :shock:

And I thought longboards were too big to be sharing the water with :wink:

looking at the vid i don't think it'll make much difference where you are, or who's in the boat with you!
