GLF Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 The family and I went for a ride to South Haven to check on the boat and look at the storm. This is a short video I took while we were at the North beach. There was a boat that decided to get a CLOSER look at the waves!
EdB Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 Wow, nice footage. I would have used a few more RPM's if I was in that boat. I just got up to Ludington tonight and it's raging here. They are some big waves in the harbor, they are rolling right over the pier.
Adam Bomb Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 Lets go surfin'!...That guy was insane for even trying!
Twill23 Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 OMG those two dudes are by far the coolest people i have ever seen. I wish i could give them a high five!
KJ pluggin Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 Thanks for the video Mike! I wish I could have seen it in person.
SPOONWASHER Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 Thats an awesome video! No way I'd do that thought. That boat is a Protector and its got twin 300's on it!

Boltman Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 Heading to Ludington today I'll try to get soem video there as well, but I'm not sure how to get it uploaded to the site, I'll try though.

Boltman Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 Ok I remember, but here's the Deal......I'm not going to Ludington Now, there's no use for going, we were going to Haul her out of the water and with those winds, I'll never get it on the trailer right in Ludington, not to mention the water level is down 12" do the trailer never really gets deep enough right now...So that said... there won't be any video uploaded of Ludington waves....I don't want to freeze my _ _ _ off......The webcam of Harborview...shows waves blasting the lighthouse Mike, take a look when you get a chance....
Priority1 Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 Cool video. I don't think I'd have to stick my nose past the pier heads.
tray19682005 Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 The wife and I went to the city boat launch here in Ludington last night and took video as well.As wild as your video is that was calm compared to here. I will work later this afternoon to get video posted as I"ve never done it before . There were wave splashes at least 20ft higher than light house! The video shakes alot as wind was shaking truck badly but we got some great action, the best was watching tourist partially out on break wall getting there high dollar cameras soaked and running for safety after a wave hit, thank God no one was hurt. But great video Mike, that boat ride was insane no way id do that....

Boltman Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 Never.. Say Never, because Never, Never works!!!!!!Just a little saying I use, and it's always true.....
soko44mag Posted September 4, 2010 Posted September 4, 2010 Awesome footage of what Mother Nature is capable of. Thanks for sharing!
j1musser Posted September 9, 2010 Posted September 9, 2010 Sweet!. I have seen that boat many a time in slip and wondered what it could take. That musta been a crazy view from their deck:eek:.Was at Whitefish Point on Lk Superior for the weekend. We skipped out on camping. It was nuts!!
Just Hook'n Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 That is AWESOME. The wife and I went to Holland and then Grand Haven. Grand Haven was crazy. I saw blasts 60-70 ft high off the pier heads. The waves IN the channel were 6-8ft and rolling over the boardwalk. I'm sure some of you saw the video of the kids walking on the boardwalk getting knocked down. Scary.
