OK, this has nothing to do with catamaran sailing, but if you enjoyed a "catamaran couch" and "Rocket Man", you might find this entertaining too.

beautiful!!!

IT is fake, it was recently discussed on sailing anarchy. But still pretty cool!

Some people would call it surfing, we call it "fishing" <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

'cept if you use too much explosive then you just get sushi!

My dad is a game warden and has actually caught guys doing that. He caught them because he saw their boat upside down. Turns out they had to many fish in the boat and when the explosive went off the wave swamped their boat.

so how did they fake the video? It looks like a pretty decent job...except for the actual explosion part

My guess would be that it's two movies edited together... very well, I might add. Something, say opening the locks on a river dam, causes the wave. (In West Virginia there is some good white water rafting after they open the dam in the spring.) They video the surfer getting into the water. At another time when the water is calm, they film the kid with the dynamite. Then after the explosion, they zoom the camera in tight on the spray and gently edit to the other time when the wave came and the surfer rides the wave.
