He needs to learn how to sail a boat properly first - wtf is he doing parking himself side on infront of the wave?

He was trying to sail along a wave by sitting side on in the surf waiting for it to smash him up. Well he knows what he's doing doesn't he?

 

If he'd really wanted to ride a wave, he should have sailed outside the breakers, built up some speed downwind then tightened up to follow the trough. There is a big difference between extreme and not knowing what you're doing.

 

I think that with so many call outs, he should be having to pay CG for their services. Not to mention that in doing so he is risking the lives of people other than himself.
