OOOOOHHHHH. I always wanted to try one of those but saw the death trap video's. Would still like to try one after everyone on the boat signs the waiver :P :P :P


Great pic of that thing airborne. Any hospital visits? or did anyone end up on ESPN2 for top ten crashes?

No those people are idiots. They add twice the type length if rope and crap like that and go 50mph. It's really safe if you use it right. That's about the highest we go. I can control most of it with the throttle. The kids love it. If they fall they fall in the wing. It's hilarious. There favorite by far. Not a single injury in like five years.don't be stupid with it.

I'm thinking you may need to double your umbrella policy, even with the waiver. Those videos are bad!!

With two riders, how fast do you have to go to keep them airborne.

It depends how windy it is. Normally only one person at a time. From 20-25mph. If there's no wind you may have to go faster. And depends on the weight of the rider. Our kids are pretty tiny. 115 each. My son is easy 150 and 25 works. We have a blast with it but I have to be careful where we use it. Table rock water patrol knows about them and won't let you use them. So I go in front of my brothers behind the weed bed and works great. I would post a vid but too many people I don't want to see it watch them so I won't. Sorry. Come to wi for flying lessons.lol the kids can control it really good.

5 more years before college. Yes he is growing like a weed. He's a good kid. I still want to get him surfing. I think he will love it. This year I'll get my buddy to tow him. If I sell my 222 soon I have my eye on a bu so I'll get that and tell my wife I'll flip it but use it all summer.lol

If he gets over a size 11 he's buying his own boots or he's going barefoot.lol time to put the wakeboard aside and going surfing then.:-)
