Can humans do this? Maybe some particular speed and bow shape along with a physical motion a human could utilise to achieve this? I tried to search it but the results were all about the illegality of people being too close to the bow sans railing.
- pvaldes 3y agoHumans are too slow swimming. The bow riding maneuver needs to be able to enter in the wave and also to move away fast when you want to stop the ride. The risk to lose the wave and be killed by the propeller if you don't move away very fast is too high. Bow wave raiding is definitely possible for us. I had done it a lot of times.
- emj 3y agoIt's easy to paddle along a bow wave; but you need the power to handle speed changes, time it and the skill to balance on it. You see people doing it in Kayaks or on Surfskis and SUPs. It's related to how people surf waves long range on Surf skis, it is really quite enjoyable.
