How Fast Can I Wakeboard? - High Speed Wakeboarding at 60mph+ with Shaun Murray

[@CHFProductions724]

I’m not first, I’m not last, but when I see Shaun’s noti, I click fast

[@kennyholmgren4455]

I like it

[@Shaun.Murray]

Love it Ethan!

[@TypicalGamer2324]

Hey Shaun, so I have recently been getting more into wakeboarding. But there is only problem, I do not have a wakeboard tower. I wondering if you could make video on how to do jumps on a low mounted rope.

[@Shaun.Murray]

Good question Ryan. When tied high the rope doesn't necessarily pull you up but it doesn't pull you down. A rope tied low doesn't allow you to travel quite as high but is still manageable. Still the same techniques you see in my instructional edits but I'll considering showing what I'm talking about if we can fit it into our shoot schedule. Thanks again! And I see all you others giving the thumbs up so hopefully this helps you too.

[@allanhawkins2379]

Hi have a video of a mate wakeboarding at 78mph behind my ski race boat and is 260lb. He also wakeskated at 69mph and fell. Riding seriously is fun but we have the most fun trying new stupid random things like 4 up riders last one standing (knocking others off) riding wake skates. Love your videos great work.

[@rolandmiller2037]

Your insane man thats so fast. Me and my family just bought a boat and we think 20 mph is scary fast on a wake board. Great video keep them coming.

[@Shaun.Murray]

Scary can be fun...and then it becomes too scary. Got close that day.

[@DannyPopov]

I've been up close to 50mph on a slalom ski behind my SeaDoo XP (its top speed), but only when the water was like glass. It was scary and exhilarating at the same time. I can't imagine what close to 70 has to feel like.

[@rennercompton3733]

Hey Shaun, I love you videos and I got one of your wakeboards and it looks awesome

[@AlexGarcia-lo9hx]

Man, that was intense!!! Shaun was riding with the fear... haha Peace! ✌

[@jamesstafford6192]

Imagine he caught an Edge

[@shaneslade8459]

Haha “don’t do that at home”… the look of o wait I am at home. Haha love it!

[@brandonrobertson6327]

Just caught your Testimony on Temptation from 11yrs ago. Glad to see God is still using it.

[@gordonDinTO]

another hard day at the office !!! LOL Kudos... old school, NO in your face disclaimers. Luv to the peeps & Keep on GrrinDin'

[@Shaun.Murray]

Kinda threw one in there but yeah, old school.

[@rubendoornbos3970]

Imagine catching an edge at that speed

[@pjfan173]

I was thinking the same thing

[@rexobzea138]

Oooofff that would hurt a ton

[@rumtum99]

You sir are a mad man. I love it big dog!! 🤙🏼 YEEEW

[@MODVP22]

Crazy man. Few years back a friend slalomed behind my brothers drag boat lol

[@paulkubitschek5649]

You could do a few videos on how many tricks you can do behind your PWC!

[@brianchristianson5573]

Have you ever done the “around the boat” trick on a wakeboard? I could’ve swore I was whipping at like 80mph BUT after seeing your video, I’m not sure I ever topped 60mph. Also, can totally relate to asking the wife how well she thinks I did ... 🤷‍♂️😭😃

[@Shaun.Murray]

I have done around the boats for years. For sure good times Brian! Slalom skis and wakeboards mostly. New towers don’t allow for that these days.

[@wally7036]

Hey Shaun, I’m new to your channel (I’m already loving it) and I’m also decently new to wakeboarding… I’ve been wakeboarding for about 3-4 years, and it’s kind of sad because I can’t clear the wake. I don’t know if that’s normal or not but I’m not getting enough speed and/ or pop

[@Shaun.Murray]

Wally, have you checked out this playlist or any other instructionals here? And thanks for checking out my channel! kzbin.info/aero/PLzW7auimACTo2jYfsUqGqaP0rUqRG6M1w

[@morrisonece05]

That’s awesome! You should have tested the BB Talkin’, but then you couldn’t get the feel of the air running through your hair. 😉 Your whistle game is strong. 💪

[@clintonbruning]

I wanna see you do a what is possible behind a jet ski trick sequence like David ocaihm from Ireland. It’s videos like those that show you how far above a pro riders ability is over an amateur. Please..... I know you would kill it

[@Hammer_Down_Production]

You are my personal F' n Hero. 70 mph? Yeahhhhhh budddddy. Get you some!

[@Bwildthing99]

Bro I remember going to watch you at the masters it was so fun

[@robertkocher3534]

Too funny. The face though! Next week, kneeboarding!

[@josephemerian9545]

We're on our way to the lake now. We'll see how fast we can go behind the 98' Searay 180 🤙

[@josephemerian9545]

36 mph. It was pretty choppy out so once you were outside of the very tiny wake it was crazy. Totally going to send it again!

[@SGFAdventures]

Got a kick out of this thanks for this from table rock lake.

[@Raver_S_Thompson]

I panic toe side at 15. And I’m scared being switch. Gonna be a tough learning experience

[@Shaun.Murray]

😂

[@SGFAdventures]

Got a kick out of this thanks for the laugh from table rock lake.

[@Shaun.Murray]

Table Rock in the houuuuuuse! Great spot

[@SGFAdventures]

@@Shaun.Murray hope you make it back out this way sometime soon! Remember meeting you over a decade ago at ski shack for a signing lol. Man does time fly!

[@scottsmith7337]

Sick content as always

[@kentsatterfield6617]

No Raley behind the jet ski?? Maybe that should be a video.....🤔

[@Shaun.Murray]

Have done it but not in a really long time. Maybe not behind a PWC but a jet boat for sure.

[@jplockport1]

Straight shred

[@somerandomgamer1260]

absolute legend

[@chuckgym]

These new “water” skis are crazy fast🤣🤣

[@mateusniedziejko3028]

I just found your channel, very fun to watch, do you think it would be more comfortable to go at that speed with a slalom ski?

[@Shaun.Murray]

For sure! Them things are meant to go way faster than a wakeboard. I bet it would be way less work and less scary. Maybe next time?!

[@mateusniedziejko3028]

@@Shaun.Murray would be cool hahaha thanks 👊🤙🤙

[@jsatherusa]

Yikes!! Hi Shaun!

[@RonixViva]

Shaun, @12:50 when is your Tenacious D rendition of Wind Beneath My Wings, coming out as a single? ~Ryan

[@Shaun.Murray]

In the recording studio as we speak 😉

[@RonixViva]

@@Shaun.Murray Be sure to let us know when it's produced! :D

[@kennyholmgren4455]

Yay

[@BrandonLee-pz2ng]

That whistle is impressive

[@dbriml]

Ever gone that fast on a slalom? Last summer I did close to 50 on an old school hydroslide behind a PWC. Can’t imagine another 20 mph. Done 35ish on a wakeboard behind a boat. Plenty fast for this guy.

[@robertkocher3534]

Side slide that hydro at 35+ and catch an edge! It will set your memory back a week or so! From experience on a 25mph whip. May have exceeded 35, but I caught that edge I couldn't remember much for a little while. Just SMACK!

[@hadyrome5574]

Should mount the camera on the tow handle.

[@opb7749]

Man, you got kids, dont kill your self.... Make more videos with kids, our kids loved those videos...

[@keegantoresdahl2025]

nobody: shaun: i wAnnA gO fASt

[@rexobzea138]

What’s the song called?

[@Shaun.Murray]

I'm lookin Rex but having a hard time finding it. Will let you know if I find it!

[@rexobzea138]

Okay thank you dude

[@andrewhill1215]

Great video man!! Random question tho, can you use a wake shaper for wakeboarding and not just surfing?

[@Shaun.Murray]

I'd think not but not sure. Have you tried Andrew?

[@Zerhya]

Optimal speed normally for jumping?

[@Shaun.Murray]

Depends on the boat and what level of riding but probably around 18mph to learn to jump

[@Gamer0425.1]

What lake was that on

[@jadenbrockman3816]

Your rough water is my good water

[@Shaun.Murray]

I know 😞

[@js333able]

Hey what was the maximum speed you felt you still had control of you board at where you could still edge well and turn? Also how wide is the tip of your board?

[@Shaun.Murray]

Mid 40's from what I recall. I'd have to go measure it but probably about 15"

[@pjfan173]

Shaun, you need to find a steeper lake and see if you can hit 75

[@Shaun.Murray]

I'm scoping one out up in the Appalachians right now. Kinda hard to get to but I think it's doable 😉

[@dagorgonzoladotco]

Now show us how it looks like crashing at that speed 😮😅❤

[@Shaun.Murray]

Hopefully not!

[@performancebasedheatingair8006]

Im the one that always laughs before everyone else cause I see the joke coming, don't go to the movie theater with me....."its does 71 if you catch a little downhill"....Me: Thinking yeah that's sounds about right....."that's a joke"....Me: Well played Shaun, well played....

[@Shaun.Murray]

🤣

[@LarryDKness]

Dave Reinhart vibes 👍🏼

[@Shaun.Murray]

Nice ref

[@radioactive4128]

can you do a video with JB ONeil?

[@dandalton2158]

He did

[@dandalton2158]

Not to long ago

[@Shaun.Murray]

@@dandalton2158 what he said ☝🏽

[@chaycewalker9525]

Is there a wakeboard world record speed??

[@offroadfreak8582]

Imagine catching water on the wakeboard edge at those speeds. Water would feel HARD

[@Shaun.Murray]

Probably wouldn’t feel it because you would be knocked out most likely. Would feel it the next day/month.

[@Naaaaaat]

@@Shaun.Murray for sure. I can’t believe you had your boots tied. You’d want to be set free when you wipe out 😂😂

[@Joshcodes808]

I actually have some experience with this. I was trying an “around the world” on a wakeskate and my brother juiced the throttle on the whip. The last thing I remember was the wake from the wakeskate turning into a thin single line of spray and thinking this is wayyy faster than I’ve ever barefooted. When I came too I thought the mad air from hitting the wake dead on at the end of the trick knocked me out. My first words were, “Did I hit it big!?!” My brother and girlfriend replied, “No, you didn’t hit shore but we were worried you would as you just kept skipping and tumbling.”

[@scottklandl488]

A Different board would make a world of difference

[@Shaun.Murray]

Big time!!

[@littlegiant8523]

Now go on the outside in a turn

[@Shaun.Murray]

crossed my mind. But maybe next time ✌️

[@hondarevable]

What's the world record? Got to be close my guy.

[@bignateliving4056]

Next up. Riding behind a Donzi 38 ZRC at 120mph.

[@theguy2226]

Wow! I wakeboard at 16-18 mph lol

[@bradyburguieres5880]

You should definitely do a tutorial on how to do your ear piercing whistle

[@Shaun.Murray]

😆

[@jackchapuis2935]

Is that GoPro isn’t taped to your hand, you have big balls

[@jackchapuis2935]

Actually you do anyway, because if you wipe out going 55 it’s going to hurt a lot

[@Doom_Head621]

Yes but how fast can you wake skate

[@williambialko5493]

😂

[@chrishassmann1433]

Glad you didn't get hurt, but you should probably have at least worn a helmet.

[@morganrogers95]

Yikes

[@jamesstafford6192]

It’s not a stupid idea it’s just an uneducated one
