Hawaii-based photographer and videographer, Brent Bielman, has captured the moment an imposing behemoth of a superyacht pulled focus from a surfer during the latterโs recent reef break in Fiji.
Initially, the footage provoked a reaction from fellow groms, who took issue with the fact the water sport-loving operator didnโt โgo to turnsโ and barrel dodged, eventually resulting in an otherwise vanilla run.
Then came the influx of superyacht-related comments.

โI wonder if the chopper makes up for not being able to get barrelled,โ posted a commenter; under the assumption the surfer in Fiji and superyacht owner were one in the same.
โAll that bling and still canโt get barrelledโฆ ?โ,โ posted another, under the same assumption.
โWhen the Russians hit the lineup.โ
โIs that a yacht or an aircraft carrier?'โ
โTell the yacht douche to beat it. LAME.โ
โI used to work for that boat owner, worst ten months of my life ?????,โ revealed someone by the name of muke_gollhofer.
โYup that boat is a pathetic excuse for one. Must be an old old oligarch trying to hide awayโฆโ
โThe SS TINY PEEPEE even has a helicopter, nice.โ
โWhen I was there last time, had a similar yacht blocking the view and I told them, can you please move your yacht so my life doesnโt feel so shittyโฆ?โ

Considering the seizure of Lรผrssen-built superyacht M/Y Amadea back in April, which is owned by sanctioned Russian oligarch Suleiman Kerimov, itโs unlikely the sea vessel has any real ties to the country currently invading Ukraine.
The superyacht everyoneโs fussing over appears to be M/Y Plan B (formerly: Flinders)
Measuring up to 49.99 metres Motor Yacht, Plan B was designed by De Villiers Yacht Design and built in Australia circa 1973 by HMA Naval Dockyard (the Australian Navy). She was officially delivered in 1973 and refitted decades later in 2011.
M/Y Plan Bโs top speed is 12 knots while her cruising speed is 11 knots. With a maximum cruising range of 7,000 nautical miles, she houses twin Caterpillar diesel engines, can accommodate for up to 12 guests across five staterooms (in addition to 14 crew members), and has a gross tonnage of 737 GT. The beam? 10.06 metres.
Notable features of Plan B include the following:
- Outdoor cinema
- Great room for entertainment & social gatherings
- Gym
- Massage room
- Jacuzzi
- Sun loungers
- Spacious lounge
- Various areas for dining
