This is my buddy Chase behind my boat at lake Hauser. If you can drink beer while you are surfing, you are doing it right."thumbsup"

Ummm...isnt he supposed to be holding a cord or something??


Multitasking is awsome isnt it. I can drink beer while doing anything.....
 
Wake SURFING not wakeboarding, you only use a rope to stand up, then you surf the wake behind the boat, no rope, about 9 mph "thumbsup"
 
Bracey and I are learning how to wakeskate... Wakesurfing looks cool too

Jeff / Ben what's "wakeskating" never heard of it before?

Wakeskating is like wakeboarding without straps, or like skateboarding behind a boat on water. Wakeboarding + Skateboarding = Wakeskating.

Google and Youtube Bret Little, he is a buddy of mine and one of the best wakeskaters in the country. "thumbsup"
 
NICE BEN! well after you gave me a hard time last time about wakesurfing on the video (that was our second time ever trying it)
i finally threw the rope this last weekend. i added a 440 lb sac in the pass. rear and 3 big freinds on the pass side and got a big enough curl to toss the rope and carve up and down. had my shallow draft nautique burried to the rub rail in the water. actually took on water over the side a few times :shock:
boat throws a sick wakeboard wake, but just too small/shallow to throw a decent surf wake. still a blast though. i plan to fix that next summer upgrading to a newer mobius :twisted:
and tell your buddy to pass the beer back and forth to folks on the boat, its a blast lol. and tell him to loose the fkn feet straps. what board is that? ive never seen a wakesurf board with straps.......and i cant make out the beer brand! hahahaa :lmao:

it is a new board from Ronix. prototype. With straps you can land 360's and 720's off the curl :shock:

You will love the mobius, Chase has one and I have riden behind it many times."thumbsup" Not as big of a wake as the x-star, but it will be night and day over what you are used to.8) My boat has 2000 lbs stock ballast tanks, 2 500lb sacks for surfing and 4 200lb elevator weights, 1 in each boat corner, to lower the whole boat 1 1/2 "s into the water."thumbsup"

thats pretty cool! never knew that much thinking went into making a boat create a big wake.

People go to crazy lengths to throw a big wake. A buddy in college built his own ballast system from scratch that worked awesome. The only thing is it gets REALLY hard on the engines when running that much weight.

Some water balloons! Or if you want to get real fancy you can get another water cooling pump and pump water into the water balloons! :mrgreen:
