Every surfer knows that feeling in the gut when a 'rogue' monster set suddenly appears way out on the horizon!!!!

Count the smaller waves between them and you can get a ball park number in the teens ... if you lose count a big one is on the way. Most boaters don't like them either.

@@dieselscience yeah there are other tricks an experienced water man picks up on, especially if they have lived at the break a long time. You usually have some strong indications the as the set builds, each peak a little steeper, seems like tide is pulling back but it's not time yet, things like that.

Legend has it one ski is still powering toward the horizon.

As Pie below states in his remarks....if you surf you know the feeling of seeing that dark set of lines coming and you say " I thought I was out far enough"....have to keep the verbal cool but you get it! Havent been in the NS stuff but had my share of "oh _ _ _ _"

dude pushed the send it button hard!

This is what 'all hell broke loose' looks like.

WOW! even for seasoned waterman this must have been terrifying! Great footage. You got a sub from me!

Holy shit that was intense. Best call was probably to gun it towards shore like a couple of them did.

I'll put it here since this is the raw footage. By my repeated stopwatch action, our astronaut free fall time is ~2.27 seconds, but for fun lets call it 2.3 to spice a little. That equates to a 25.9m drop (85ft)... and he's hitting the water at 80.1 km/h (50 mph)... We can also make some assumptions about the wave by the amount of time going up leading to it being in the ~21m (68ft) face range. "Remember comrades, hit eject button after launching rocketski..." You can see our test pilot mount the ski after, all good yah?

I feel for the injured guys , luck with your recovery, but after a few views it looks like the ski guys were sat around chatting and were caught out - nobody was focused on what was happening offshore

WOW....You were in the right place at the right time...the ski's?...Not so much. I wonder how many times that day they did this "to the horizon" routine? Thanks for sharing. I will visit this vid many times.

wish this was 4k.. and angled a little lower and closer to the jet skies.. you could sell it to someone like me lol

Hate when sitting not really watching the horizon, certain you're far enough out.....and suddenly you realize you the water around you suddenly sank a few feet. And you are about to get mauled.

awesome video! congrats for catching it

Glad all are good , great footage

I just watched it again really great footage

This is absolutely amazing footage!! Like watching a tsunami approaching

Epic footage. Great job!

“The Send Lord” launched that JetSki into outer space 😳

excellent footage, fascinating to watch.

Honey, I'm just going for a surf....

Killer drone footage!

Holy Smokes! Know the panic in one’s heart getting caught inside NS!!! ... but never seen anything like this! ... many prayers to the guy who broke his back 💕💕💕

Man this video i saw like 3 times 😮 soo good footage all that jetskis flying like a bird

Back to shore was definitely the right play here

At least there was few smart ones that said f***! No and turned around

Dang!!! - was that Travis P on that Jet ski??

Wow, that was crazy!

Now that's something we don't see in Canada lol. Crazy and awesome!

Plank with the 1 million dollar clip !!!

Looks like fun!

Watch it closely guys n girls the white ski that launched to the heavens landed safe as.. but lost his passenger. That’s when all other skis jumped to rescue mode.. Massive cool clip 😍🤙🏼

I’m assuming the passenger managed to parachute safely back down?

Thats got to be the highest and farthest I've ever seen a jet ski launch out the back. OMG! Bottom of screen..... 2:20 Sick video man

As someone who SUP surfs I don’t like condemning any form of water-sports but ski’s are just to much of a noise and air pollutant especially just for photographers and lookyloos skis are a great tool for rescue. Those last two that launched had no business out there they didn’t have enough experience or they would have known to turn and outrun the whitewater. Looks like from the comments the last one got hurt really bad I hope they have a good recovery 🤙

Some sneaky waves!

2 mistakes, not trying to outrun instead of launching then launching and not separating yourself from the ski at all costs... Both driver and photog got badly hurt..

@@joshuamcdonnell122 too many people with too little experience in a place they shouldn't be. It's the illusion of safety in numbers (every ones out, don't want to miss that ...) and relying on gear that out classes your skills

When people are in the line up whether on a board or a ski there seems to be this hive mind effect where in a moment people just do what everyone else does....it's interesting. So many of them should have turned back in instead of trying to beat the set out. Crazy.

Clean up set- bugger!

hooo neva seen dis one but awesome perp & coverage

This explains the situation much better than the close-up news view. Maybe these Jet-Skiers need headset walkie-talkies so they can communicate between them or maybe someone with this drone that saw these waves (set) coming could have given them advanced warning. -Either way they should have rode away from these waves and not over them. Worst case is having a 1000lb ski coming off a wave and hitting someone.

Saw a video from when one of those sets went through - the guy on the back of the ski was shouting "you're gonna have to turn around, you're gonna have to turn around". You could hear the panic but you couldn't get a sense of the scale of the wave though. This puts it into perspective - unreal.
