Looks staged.

It is hard to believe you could do such a poor job unless you were trying to turn it into a submarine whilst the camera was rolling.

Should of powered forward and had the bow right up on the wave in front. Never let a wave lift your stern when crossing a bar.

? Narooma bar is nice and wide clearly marked and short. You normally only have 3 waves to deal with.

Looks like the tide is running out hard, never a good time to cross bars.
