Hmmm, Aerobatics close to the water again...

Some RAF pilots tried low level aerobatics over the water in a Nimrod years ago, with results not so good. I was looking at its tail a few weeks ago in Toronto.

I complement this pilot's skill in recovery, I'm not so sure about the judgement which got him there!
