Craig said that conditions on the beach were gusting to 22.

In the case of Tortilla, I saw it coming - the wave that is. they had just turned up, the crew was hanging on the bow keeping her pointed in the wind when the first wave pulled him off the ocean floor.... the nose of the boat turned down enough and the next wave that hit them .. momment before it hit I was like "Ahhh shittttttttttt" and wham it went over.

Its lucky that nobody was hurt on that. In shallow water theres the possibility of getting pinned to the ocean floor by dangly bits from the top of the boat.


Start watching from here, you can see it happen... I'm still cringing a bit.
