That is wicked sick.

This may be retarded but what the hell is the rope attached to? by the angle of it, it is clearly not a boat.

But yea wakeskis look so sick.

whats the point of using a winch to pull it? why not just a boat? and that looks fun but difficult

Boats cost big $$$$$$$$



a day pass at a cable park is $35 (at least at WakeNation) and the season pass is like $500.


SO spend 20+ K on a good wakeboard boat, or spend $500 on a cable pass? And you get a lot more time ridding with cable.

AS for wakeskis I'm not sold on them, as a skier I even think they look kinda goofy on the water and that wakeboards look better doing tricks. although I'm tempted to try some grabs on the jump skis next time I'm riding them.

I own a pair. I've also got a 5.5 ft waterski jump. The only time it really hurts coming off of that thing is if you land open on your ribs, otherwise it's not bad at all. They're fucking fun.

yeah i'm in the same boat...no pun intended lol. ive seen some sick shit on wakeboards, and compared to that these seem somewhat novel, sorta like those scootering videos. i'm sure its fun for the people in the videos, but im not really feeling it.

good call, the tall tees would get wet and stretch the whole length of ones body rendering the subject useless, they would be eaten alive by the tall tee
