Being a pilot boat, I guess he knows what he is doing, but it looks
like he picked the roughest ride on the screen.

Should lose his job! Takes the boat through the most dangerous area, and
then inside a bunch of surfers. He was in a situation that if a surfer
was in his way, he could not safely avoid them.

The problem is that the surfers are always there. I think he hesitated till
he thought the surfers were aware. (Note, none were actually surfing when
the boat passed. The surfers have cooperated in this way for years.) And I
think he kept well in to avoid the surfers that were further out. The pilot
boat goes out several times a day.

Looked like fun to me.
