Yeah, no telling how long they'd been out there fighting this stuff before the vid was shot either. Running on a broad reach in that stuff makes ya tired and sometimes you're a bit late with the helm. When a big wave runs under my stern it'll push around if ya don't counter just right. It'll also pull the bow the other way as it passes, if ya don't catch it just right. Sometimes it doesn't matter what ya do, ya still end up wallowing around with some waves. With a boat like that one and mine, it's better to take the waves at an angle rather then DDW. More control at an angle.
