This news clip just made me think of The Beach Boys and surfing.

You wouldn't take your tri over the surf? I think I'll sail with you.

I've seen video of a tri surfing, or maybe more accurately, windsurfing into Coffs Harbour. It handled it extremely well.

Oh my Bob....what's a lady to do? Lol, a few issues here. Boat's a friends and there's no surf like that in these parts. Maybe charter a tri on location?

I said I'd sail with you because you wouldn't try to surf the boat in.
