not very fuel efficient(sp)
probably takes like 20 miuites to turn around when u fall too.

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.

and if that picture was of a real cruise ship, do you think that that picture could be taken? so colse to the water

-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.
