DID YOU KNOW THIS WAS A THING

I always wanted to try this, but on a foiling board, I did not think a wakeboard would work with just 6knots 😅

Since releasing this film we are told that a foiling board is what people normally use.... but as you can see a wake board works as well. Have fun

In the sixties we would surf (with a tow rope) behind a friends small motorboat and because we wanted to surf in the boats wake we would surf only a few feet behind the boats transom. A weeee bit tricky because the motor was a few feet away and we never wore life vests.

Sounds like fun

You are missing the best bit! As the surfer moves across from left to right, throw the yacht into a hard turn the other way. The yacht mast leans out of the turn and gives a whiplash effect allowing the surfer to accelerate up to 20kts+ around the turn. On a larger yacht you can easily get airborne around the turn. It’s always been called bilgeboarding. kzbin.infovnHqfwINdUE?si=AbR1u6zxxThCrr1y
