Thats the one, i think its on last. The only problem is in the previews it looks like the guy barely knows how to wakeboard. They should have hired some wakeskating.comers

I was watching an episode of PULL on fuel tv one time and they went wakesurfing behind this guys yatch. It was so sweet and the guy was stoked to have them. He didn't care about all the fuel being used.

I've wakesurfed behind a 53' Carolina and a 65' Viking.


Glory.





You could use a jet ski to take you to the rope anytime you fell instead of turning around.

-Supra-, Actually, if you look at the outer whitewash, you get a sense of proportion.

There are some swells coming of the sides of the ship, but you've obviously never seen a 20 ft. wave if you are claiming... as it were.

That picture was taken by ME from the 15th deck of 952 ft ship cruising at about 23kts in September of this year.

Oh and in the middle of the pacific, so don't give me that shallow water/small wake crap either Laughing

If a cruise ship caused a 20ft wave, it would not be allowed anywhere near any port. A 20ft wave would travel long distances, and would wreak havoc anywhere a ship went
