Had a buddy put one over the bow at Birdrocks in rosario strait during a heavy tidal rip. Only time I've had a wave come into the boat, luckely we were both sitting down cause that was one big wall of water! (Only thing I lost overboard was my rapala filet knife.) I'm always amazed at what a solid dry ride my outrage provides. I did drop my old fiberform off the top of an eight foot wave into the trough during a 55mph gale trying to jump from wave to wave! I'm surprised the hull didnt crack - Ahh, what foolish youth wont do for fun!
