The otherwise and dangerous sea conditions that prevailed across the eastern seaboard last week and before, left Johnny Fever no chance but to attempt a launch on the Wavejet powered Pau Hana SUP. The Umzimkulu is normally piloted by very fast ski-boats built to punch through waves, whatever the size…so to even think about this attempt was ambitious.
The task proved a huge challenge, and after his first attempt, which saw him upside down in the shark infested soup, he turned and caught a mid break wave in. Fever’s second attempt almost got him out there, but the rolling 10ft sets that stopped him, would have stopped a tug too!
Stay tuned for more pics and the video…
The Wavejet SUP was the star attraction of the show this last week in the Transkei, where it’s adaptation to a fishing craft was explored, with great results.
Stay tuned for that story too…
