The Long Beach To Catalina and Back Race
Race overview!
Just prior to the race Gerner selects his 78 mph flat water SeaDoo craft vs his rough water craft - sea state changes at last minute (wrong boat!), Gerner forced to work the tray and even sit to keep boat in water (RXT has a 2 degree wedge designed for flat water!). Watch what happens 15 miles offshore. (Do not attempt)
Enjoy!
