You have to wonder about a site that wants you to register your interest in a passion by putting together a "greatest hits video".

Not quite what I would call promoting the sport.

The bloke getting slammed into the rocks and walks out shaking someone’s hand (15 sec in), not seen that one before; that was awesome, he must be buzzing just to be alive. Man I'm even happy for him.

WTF!! I stopped watching at 2.00 when i saw the footage of the poor bloke that carked it last year (maybe 18 months ago?).

WTF is wrong with people showing that on a gag reel???

Stacks with a decent outcome are ok but fatalities are not for laughs.

He didn't cark it. He did wake up in hospital and deny the whole thing however.

"No, no. I finished the session and went home, made dinner and went to bed. It was a great sail. How did I get here?"

I remember reading a post from one of his friends, somewhere on the webs, but stuffed if I can find it now. Even when shown the video he denied it was him. "Nope, that never happened. Wasn't me. How'd I get here again?".

I'm pretty sure he survived, miraculously. Found him down behind a shop.

New sports always attract the over confident/douches yeah?
