Bungee Wakesurfing at 45.5mph on a Skimboard with World Champion Skimboarder Austin Keen

Marco Thompson gave me the idea to replace the tow rope with a giant Bungee. Coincidentally, I had one in my garage. It resulted in an explosive whip in with my top speed tracked at 45.5 mph! My average speed at my fastest point was about 40mph.
You can buy the Bungee here www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01... - but be advised that I added 150ft of rope with a buoy seperating the rope and bungee. Also it is VERY IMPORTANT that you attache the bungee to the deck bar so that the bungee is at water level and is slowed down by the water when you let go so it does not snap back into the people in the boat.

[@MAX-uu1mq]

No shit, i've tried the same thing a week ago and let me tell you this is super dangerous, not for the surfer but for the people in the boat! Our Banshee Bungie flicked back in the boat and almost hit a person with the metal carbine. Not so funny haha. We stopped trying from there. But till' then, i enjoyed it so much! Super fun :D

[@comocinok4906]

Mr. Was Geht Sie das an? Same here the rope came into the boat although we had 30m of normal rope inbetween. Any ideas how to stop it in the water?

[@kazaakas]

Honestly, I don't think I've ever seen anything cooler than this in my entire life..

[@Historylover8]

Man your stuff needs more views...

[@ryanparsley6494]

Sick video! Any idea where I could find a bungee like that to purchase or build? Any tips would be helpful.

[@AustinKeen]

You can buy the Bungee here www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017MNMK3W/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B017MNMK3W&linkCode=as2&tag=austin0c7-20&linkId=b736ab9c2514e32a6dbc70bd193d51ee - but be advised that I added 150ft of rope with a buoy seperating the rope and bungee. Also it is VERY IMPORTANT that you attache the bungee to the deck bar so that the bungee is at water level and is slowed down by the water when you let go so it does not snap back into the people in the boat.

[@Ryan--jq5vp]

[@uwhobey5]

Unreal

[@austinjonas9348]

[@sticklifeoutdoors]

Freaking awesome bro

[@AustinKeen]

[@thedeathwalrus8909]

Shredmaster gnar

[@jonathanquiceno4777]

[@twhite5978]

[@AustinKeen]

[@nikkipilling1160]

[@Oakridgevacation]

[@kendlol2764]

[@valeriodondoli2046]

What boat were you riding behind

[@kkmobilehose7684]

Yeah!

[@emilioasl]

Sickkkkkkkkkk !!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@maxw.pilling3193]

Could you tell us where you bought this Bungee?

[@adamt253]

I used to kneeboard behind my uncle's Seaswirl and he would whip me at full speed going 45+. I almost paralyzed myself once when I ate shit. I had many successful whips though and I felt like I was flying at light speed!

[@Staeam]

Savage...

[@AustinKeen]

thanks bro

[@bradya6768]

What board do you have?

[@treydamonlee]

stick with THAT guy.. he has great ideas

[@maverickpanda]

Convinced me to bite the bullet and get a good board that’s actually my size. Was debating on if it’d be worth it since we don’t get a ton of waves here l, but with the boat…

[@go_topspeed]

what kind of board does austin use

[@aheadley1209]

What rope is that ..... I WANT one ...!

[@LaurieLattimoreVolkmann]

Dang! is there anything you can't do with that board? heli-skim next?😛 I keep telling the guys at Old Spice you need to be their next "guy"!

[@AustinKeen]

haha! that would be awesome Laurie. old Spice commercial is definitely on my bucket list!
