You don't need a motor.
This is what we used to do off Greenmount when I was a kid.

Christ, and we thought SUPs were bad.

Christ, and we thought SUPs were bad.

in my defence, I was at least an hours boat trip away from any surfers, and a good 1/2nm offshore. the place has a strong tidal current that forces the groundswell to stand up. can be bloody hairy at times with standing waves 3 ft high.

the bloke doing it at ti-tree should have some sugar added to his tanks, that is just reckless.

Fong I saw him out wide at the pot on Saturday morning, pretty sure there was two of them

Hey alakboo, shoulda made it clear that I was referring to the clip, not you.

This does remind me of a story, dunno if it was true or not, from back in the 70s. Apparently, one of the pros at the time - maybe Peter Crawford? - hired a Halvorsen cruiser and took it out at the German Bank.

Maybe Rabbit? Dunno. Anyone?

no worries, no offence taken.
despite quoting you I was actually responding to the madness Fong observed.
