I've done it in the bay, but would never try it on the ocean (but i did think about doing it)

This guy was acting like it was his first time in a tube,,,and that ling might have been 21.11.11 in.

A couple of pioneers they are!  :smt002

In Matts' defense, he's atleast begun prefacing his videos with "this is a dumb idea, don't do it" after catching some flack for his lack of safety precautions in previous videos.  I appreciate his enthusiasm for what be does and his spirit for adventure though.

Trying to figure out the location. Looks like Sonoma County coast just above Jenner maybe ? If so, that's a hell of a hike with all of that gear.

well he's wearing a pfd and a wetsuit, so how much worse is what he doing than diving with a float tube really?

Good point, although it is slightly different than diving.  I actually like his videos, but I just won't be doing certain things the way he does it.

Looks like the little turn out just above Russian gulch.

Definitely entertaining stuff, had me smiling and kept my attention for the full 21 minutes. Maybe if I show my wife she won’t give me such a hard time for going out into the ocean in my outback...look babe, what I do is waaaay safer  :smt005

The reason he posted that disclaimer was because of a video I took at the crab opener at Baker Beach. The guys in the video were inspired by one of his videos (literally told me this) and they tried to do what he did. This got back to him and he felt pretty bad. Watch the video and see how that ends up.

We were dying. This was the second of 3 attempts too. First attempt I believe they lost there neighbors trolling motor. Third attempt they got out... But only 1 guy was on board. The second guy was floating next to the boat for a good 15 minutes before a surfer in a wetsuit paddled out to him and saved them. On top of this they finally dropped 1 pot about 50 get from shore.

My friend yelled "heads up"and was about 6 feet away from hitting them with a crab snare. They ended up drifting up on the beach moments later both completely soaked wearing track suits or gym shorts. We gave them jackets to warm up.

I can't even make this shit up. A surfer even went out and retrieved there pot. Zero crab but no surprise there.
