I took a look at the video .. it wasn't even rough water. *The skipper is

Sheeeeze NE sailboat.

Ever hear of a willawall? Microbursts?

Where do you hail from, Joe?

Out west we call a sudden onset storm a "williwaw", not a willawall.
Words have a way of being used differently around the country.
"Willawall" isn't such a bad variation- running into one can be like
hitting a wall and I wonder if that's behind your local usage?
