I just bought an EPIC V7 and I have also purchased a life jacket. Now that i have watched this Beginners Training Video I am excited and ready to go !!
Yeah man!
Go for it!!
Safety first - tether your cap to your life jacket so you don't lose it in the wind.
Great to see what 2 skilled paddlers are capable of.
Holy chit! I can't believe you guys 2man those conditions. You're timing was pretty incredible for the conditions. I've just realized I pissed my life away surfing all these years, because I had no idea this was going on, or could be done on those blown out days we weren't surfing. Thanks filming and posting this, that was unreal.
Thanks bro
Great comment
Glad you enjoyed it… we certainly did!
@@ZachandJerryOfficial 👍
Amazing 😮 !!! 🌊
Haha brilliant 😀👍
You had me at skis, downwind, and 80's KISS. I'll take two please.
Janas, thanks for the awesome comment! Love your enthusiasm! Glad you enjoyed the video.
Im so addicted to surfing in my kayak. It's an adrebalin rush like a gemreat roller coaster . Epic guys.😂

Love this video and wouldn't I love to enjoy that ride I am stuck in the UK and at 80 I think I might need a rescue boat on hand....
Graham you legend.
80 is the new 60!
Come for a paddle with us!

Merci à vous
I 've great respect and admiration for you , who were born for this.

I must have watched this video 20 times now. It's perfect.
Awesome stuff bro 😎
When the camera flattens the waves but they still look huge - gulp! Great work fellas!
Hehe David, we know exactly what you mean! Thanks for commenting.
Awesome
Wahoo!!!! Thanks Marijke😁
Definitely my favorite surfski video yet, you guys are brilliant! So many clips make surfski look very serious, but this was FUN!!😂
Hi James!
Thanks for enjoying it!
It was a crazy day out, that’s for sure
Super men, nice to see that you both had so much fun in the waves.. I love it.. Herman from Holland
Herman, glad you enjoyed the video. That was one AWESOME day for down-winding. Cannot wait for more like this🙌
Well done guys....
Great camera footage.
Great skill.
Good music choice.
Looks like F....K loads of fun.
The fact that is storm wind /rough water/ not boats out and these 2 ocean warriors 😆makes it look like u just want to go pick up a paddle.
Well done guys👍👌epic fun.....this a realy feel good video....
Mate you are legendary! Thank you so much for your amazing comment. Love it. That was by far our biggest and "wildest" downwind paddle to date. We're hungry for another day like that😜🌊🔥🔥
@@ZachandJerryOfficial omplement well deserved trually inspirational guys...enjoyment aspect off the hook...cant wait for u guys to take us alog on another ride
This is so sick
Yeeeesss! It definitely was Andrew😃 along with a few hairy moments😬😅
Zach and Jerry, that was truly outrageous. I'm still smiling from having watched it 30 minutes ago, many thanks for sharing.
Paul, super stoked we could put a smile on your face. Glad you enjoyed the video!
I dont think there is a better ski video than that.
Zachary Handler with a name like Zachary we know that your opinion is a reliable source and we’ll take that compliment with open arms! Thanks mate💪🏽😉
@@ZachandJerryOfficial Yeah from now on when people here in the USA are like "surfski what's that?" this is the video I will show them!
You guys are incredible. Love your videos. That was epic for a reverse run!
Thanks bloke
I want to do that now!!!
Jason that's the attitude!😁😎💪
Well done Zach & Jerry - what an exciting ride that was - you make it look so easy - well done on the recovery in the squall and getting to the take out point
Thanks Barry
having fun as cannibals :-)
Yeah man
I wish I was there on a jetski filming from the side. A side angle would help capture the size of those waves.
Smiled all the way watching this. Well done.
Alfred Thorpe BLOKE!!!!!! That’s an absolutely FANTASTIC IDEA‼️ You are correct, the best angles are definitely not captured from the vessel itself but rather from another craft, to get real perspective. We would love to arrange that with you on the next big storm.
OMG>>>Felt the FUN and Excitement you were having! Thanks for the thrill!
Chris, anytime haha!!! It sure was a thriller paddle. Glad you enjoyed the video.
Awesome! Watching this video every morning to energize till the end of the day. Thanks, guys.
Great stuff bro 😎!

Jose...there is no doubt that it was massive out there. Scary but lots of fun. Thanks for your message.

Oh my sack that’s awesome
Adam Du Plooy I’m sure your sack is awesome but what did you think of the video ?😄
Zach & Jerry defo 11 on the dial. Freaking awesome charnas.
Very cool. That was my first proper Millers reverse. With @MillersTaxi taking care of logistics it’s soooo accessible. Looking forward to the next one.
Mike that is amazing! We are so stoked you enjoyed your first ever reverse miller. Hectic conditions but loads of fun. Hope to see you out there again champ.
Bruuuutttaaaalllllllllllllllll!
Shoo this is crazy 😝
Naor Lombard it WAS CRAZY 😝
That was really fun to watch - you guys are good, very skilled! Yes a pity my GPS didn't work for you!
Rod...you are a legend, thanks for commenting! For sure, the GPS is our next goal to obtain. It will be really cool to share times and speeds with all of you.
This is really the best downwind paddeling video I've seen. Stunning, guys!
Peter Pieras that’s FANTASTIC NEWS. We are waiting for the next big storm to entertain you once again
That was crazy! I don't know how you kept it together through that squall.
It was a touch and go situation🫣 but so worth it😁 Best downwind we've ever done to date!
Did it ever cross your mind shall we continue all the way without stopping at Miller's point?
Awesome video. Thank you so much
Chathura Vishwanath Jayaratne THATS exactly what happened 😆
1:05 dream team enter the vortex
😂😂💪💪🌊power! You are not wrong there mate.
Groot kahunas!!!👍👍
Hahaha Louis! Love your choice of words. We are stoked you enjoyed the video.
Nice job on the video! That run looks amazing. Would you mind sharing how you mounted camera poles to the ski? Amazing they never came off during this run!
Good ol duct tape wrapped right round the boat and over the camera pole
Our new Boost double has been made with mount adapters that fit the boat shape perfectly. We can then just screw the new mounts in with an adjustable shaft for playing around with various camera heights.
Should be getting them soon then we can do away with the duct tape😃
Only the 2nd best??? Awesome stuff! Where do you get the go pro stick things from? Mind if I share your videos and tag your channel?
We made the posts ourselves.
And YES, all shares are much appreciated.
Let’s share the stoke of downwind paddling!
@@ZachandJerryOfficial that’s awesome, been thinking of trying to make one but I don’t trust my skills 😣 have you got a video on how you made it?
Now that’s fucking living
One life live it! That is exactly what we're gonna do!🌊😃😃
Hi guys. You guys have balls. Amazing video. What is your camera set up? How do you guys keep water droplets away from the lens? Thank you
Heya Surfski Guru. Thanks for the message. Jerry made some camera stands with PVC pipe and a wooden bloke that forms the base. The base also has rubber underneath it so it doesn't scratch the ski and provides grip. We then permanently attached a gopro mount to the top of the stand. We have tried many products to keep water droplets of the lens. The best we have found is a little bit of window cleaner works but be careful not to rub it on the frame of the lens. It will eat the plastic. Otherwise, the good old fashioned way of licking the lens works well. 😁😁😁 Hope this helped. Cheers Z&J
Awesome guys! I love the video. By the way, How do you attach the GoPro stick to the surfski?
Hi Car pente. We made a make shift stand that we could place our gopros on. Thanks so much for commenting and glad you enjoyed the video😁
Car pente good old duct tape mate. Good old duct tape.
Great Video!! What configuration are you using to film on your GoPro? For example, quality, FPS, lens size (Wide, narrow)?
1080p
60fps
Linear
Epic, boys (excuse the pun). I did a 70km/h SE and it was nowhere nearly that good.
You're gonna have to come our side then mate to really get the adrenaline pumping😉
@@ZachandJerryOfficial Dig to. I have to get a LOT fitter. Covid broke the back of my paddling routine and I turned into a flab-ball. On the comeback trail.
What else would I like see? Your GPS track!
Robin Mousley so would we! That’s the next investment 💥
You guys gotta come to Florida for the next hurricane and surf some waves in the Gulf of Mexico. I have an epic v5 that needs a sea trial.
Michael Honcho! Now that sounds like a plan💪😎Yeah man, we'll definitely need to come visit the local scenery your side and scout out all the "HUGE" downwinds😜🌊😂 Have a lekker one champ!
Holy fuck man that was epic! Sea kayaker from scotland - I want some of that.... great film thanks so much! Edit: how many knots are you fellas getting during that?
elwoodzo, sorry for the late reply champ. Man it was one fast downwind that day. I believe we maxed out at 26km/h that day, averaging at 18km/h. Hoping to edit speed stats and HR in future videos. Just need to get hold of some new multipurpose watches.😁😎😎🙌 Cheers mate.
Yea its a good thing you didnt miss the turn its a few thousand miles till next destination LOL God I miss this stuff.
JP, Jerry asked me that exact question🤣 Jerry: "Zach, you know where millers is.......right?" Me: "Ja, its wait... we have over shot, turning now."😆😆😆 Tons of fun though
Meanwhile I fall off my ski if a duck paddles past 😢😢😂
Do you paddle back to your starting point?!
Hello J Dh, it would be a challenge in those conditions but I think it would be doable😜😂Champ, we are fortunate to have a downwind taxi service, Millers Taxi, who picks us up at our finishing point and takes us back to the start.
I have just bought a kayak; where can I try this?
Come to Cape Town!!
@@JV-px9vk, how dangerous is it? Riding the waves like that?
You should get the NSRI to sponsor you.
Hugo, love the suggestion. We think it is we who must sponsor the NSRI. The men and woman who volunteer their time to help others when in need is an amazing cause. We feel safe knowing they are prepared to help any paddler at a moments notice. They are absolute legends and heroes! Thanks for commenting and glad you enjoyed the video Hugo.
Do you guys know a mark from langebaan?
Do you have the speed you're going at?
We don’t unfortunately but one day we will get some garmins
2nd best haha. That downwind is insane!! What is the best one then ?
Lionell, the name has already been taken by a friend of ours for their video. Naturally we had to call this one the second best but that's up to all of you enthusiasts who like and watch the video (wink). Glad you enjoyed it. Have an awesome day
Hectic, what ski is that????
It’s a Carbonology Blast 💥
And its faaaaaaaaast!!!!!!!!🏎
Вы офигенные!!!! Сука такой крути я давно не видел!
Thanks Python! You are legendary. Glad you enjoyed the video😎🙌💯💯 Z&J
This was not the best downwind ever. It was just a tribute.
Oi Johan...cheeky hey (wink)! Legend thanks for the support. The Zach & Jerry team will be venturing to Strand to do the famous Rooi els to Strand downwind soon. Cheers champ!
Awesome
Amazing
Dylan, thanks for commenting mate. Cheers!
