What has happed to you does not define who you are-
HOW you react to what happens to you DOES!

Waves were just too much for it to cut right through them. What you can't tell in the video is the boat is standing up and front is a good 6 to 7ft up above waves...thats how big the waves are.

Michael I know the feeling you must've had. I've been offshore in my boat and had no worries about myself or the boat. It's my kiddos that get my attention. I've never been on Twok but I've been on Ray Roberts a couple times when it was sporty. The ability to stand and drive makes a good amount of difference in rough conditions.
Nice boat handleing. I have stood in conditions like that driving and i've sat as a passenger and I will stand if I get the change. Those knees are good shock absorbers.

Salsa,
Im going to be the "un-cool" furom guy for a minute....
I know you can handle your rig and have experience with the limitations of it.... Those were some minor nose "Spears" you took on.
You can get t-wok waves so far apart that it can put the nose of your boat 2+ feet below surface in a heartbeat. This can throw your boat sideways quikly. Then its just a [censored] shoot from there as you know. I too have done some , what I would call "stupid" stuff on that lake. My point is ... I bet you were severly wishing you had not done this and would recomend that folks dont try it. It is just is not worth it. Here again, I have ... cross waved ... BY MY SELF. The intire time I was making piece with the man because I knew it could end any minute. I am not trying to letcure you and know you you can handle your rig. I just want folks to know that these conditions are DANGEROUS and should be avoided at all cost...
I am proud of you for getting your crew back to the dock safely,( I know about how far you went). I also want others to know , please dont think this is a good plan of attack on this lake in these condidtions...even with a really big rig like this one. It can eat you up.......
Now, before all of you guys that dont know me start to hammer me for this , please realize that I am not judging Mike for this. I just dont want folks that dont realize how tough t-wok can be try this . Salsa can take what I said, and he knows me . Im just concerned for his and others saftey.
Like I said . I HAVE DONE REAL STUPID STUFF MYSELF.

I don't see you post as Bagging on Salsa Jason. It's good to point out the dangers from a 2nd perspective. Sometimes being "that guy" is necessary to help those that might see this and think "well that guy did it and made out ok".
