New Zealand plane beach take off fails

Hmmm. Were I in that position, I'd have gone further back on the beach. Sure it's curved, but so what when you're starting up? Also, I would have done the attempt at high tide and would have also had some locals drive on the sand a few times to confirm it was drivable. I'd contemplate skids, too. Driving through the water is like catching the cable with a hook on an aircraft carrier.

Insufficient right rudder! :)
