Is that of South African origin?
Hi Peter,I believe it is from South Africa.

You've had more hours in Harvards than me, (only 2 up to now), I think that trick takes a little bit of 'bottle' wouldn't you say.

I would think it could be done on smooth water...they are not landing on it but skimming. However, a few waves would wreak havock!...Yes, a lot of bottle required and a lot of Faith that it is possible...I find it absolutely mind boggling that they are doing it in formation...That means looking sideways rather than ahead :shock:
