^^That's gotta be somewhere like Nazare. There are actually surfers that go for the biggest wave ridden claim. Those guys are a whole other level of skills and human being, just like any extreme sport or adventure. |

The website says Tahiti https://twistedsifter.com/ Those guys and girls are freakin nuts and i enjoy watching every second of it from a TV screen or from shore. Still watching from time to time to see who gets knocked out for their own cahones. Last edited by cmbscx10; 08-21-2018 at 08:16 PM. | |

I have worked on / inside those big engines, and really anything below 700 mm Cylinder diameter are for boys, and yes they normally top out at around 90 - 100 RPM. Really you would want a Danish ( well former Danish B&W motor now part of MAN group, which are also the first guys to put a diesel engine in a ship when all else was shoveling coal ) Okay maybe aside for some Dutch vessel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burmeister_%26_Wain Come on over and you can still see a big one getting cranked now and then. This one was the largest engine for +30 years. Last edited by Peaker; 08-22-2018 at 03:28 PM. |

| Re: Cool Pictures I wish I could find the video to embed it. Farcebook link will have to do. Sick Holden ute burnout. https://www.facebook.com/15325439735...6184424298941/ Edit: I was just reading the comments of the farcebook page, it seams this video is sped up. Not so cool after all, does sound nice idling though. Last edited by HyperMark; 08-25-2018 at 08:22 AM. |
