My First Set Behind The Nautique Paragon!

[@vampov]

I came across this by accident I'm so glad to see Shaun Murray still out on the water. I grew up as a kid watching this guy and always wanted to meet him but never did. We owned some of Wake Tech so I met a lot of the other guys but man in the 90's I lived and breathed wakeboarding. These OGs are the true wakeboarders. They did wakeboarded well before there was any money, fame, and women. It was all for the love of the sport. In fact if my memory serves me well Shaun used to deliver pizzas at night to try to make money because in those days wakeboard sponsorships just didn't cover it. I never hear a bad thing about Shaun.

[@Shaun.Murray]

I didn’t deliver pizzas but still really enjoy riding for the fun of it! Of course I’m very thankful I can make a living with it as well!

[@justrolledintotheshop]

@@Shaun.Murray The fact that you answer to your fans speaks volumes about you. I grew up wakeboarding in the early 90's and you were always a legend. So awesome to see you still out there! Keep up the great work!

[@Shaun.Murray]

@@justrolledintotheshop my pleasure!

[@shaneslade8459]

I love at the end, “ don’t mind all of that” that’s a happy excited crew! Watched this video when it came out a year ago and just watched again, awesome boat and great memories for those kids!!

[@Shaun.Murray]

Thanks for watching....again Shane! Was a great crew w some good times happening for sure

[@martinwright3039]

Great to see some insight into the wake size of the Paragon. It’s also great to see the sport has progressed so much that there is now a market for that type of boat. To all those comments that criticize the price, it is a luxury item, no one says a super car is overpriced, it is what it is, it’s aspirational, and hopefully those new features will filter down into the cheaper boats in the future Thanks Nautique

[@whatscreenname]

MARTIN Wright There’s no such thing as cheaper tow boats. There’s crazy expensive, insanely expensive and then the Paragon

[@bragdonlawyer]

Exactly. You get what you pay for. By far one of the most luxurious boats to hit the market. Can't wait to see one in person but that's probably as close as I will ever get.

[@martinwright3039]

It is all relative, expensive for some but a drop in the ocean for others

[@afrosoulstylist]

Thats not true! From a winch tow to a luxury boat tow, it's all relative to who, what and where you ride... from a jetski, right on up to a luxury tow boat it's all about the people and the fun. Envy and jealousy just sucks!!!

[@Shaun.Murray]

That’s honestly really well put. Thanks for your insight.

[@jayireland561]

Woah. Just realized I was just watching THE Shaun Murray again. You were an inspiration for me getting into wake boarding as a kid, twenty years ago.

[@glanzer77]

11:27 been riding for years and still just stoked! Love SMurray's riding. Also when he finishes the set...I assume his wife...is just like, that was so rad and is his biggest cheerleader. I get the same thing when I land my W2W toeside 180's from my wife....if only I could pull like a quarter of Shawn's tricks, my wife would be even more impressed. Actually my wife is just happy she doesn't have to circle back and pull me up out of the water again. GO SHAWN.

Sick wakeboarder, makes it look so simple, technique is flawless. Awesome boat and mad dude on the back.. pleasure to watch.💪😁🤙

Shaun, great to see you are still crushing it. Love the Railey into a tumble turn: ) Levi really enjoyed his time with you.

[@astrotennessee]

I can appreciate the talent of what riders can do today, but that MASSIVE raley is the most impressive thing to me. I miss the style and grace of the old school riders when there seemed to be more appreciation for taking tricks up and way out into the flats. Darin, Randy, Gator, Murray, Rob could all crank some huge stylish moves.

[@Shaun.Murray]

Murch appreciated Astro! And the physics were different back then for sure. But did you see when I challenged Cory Teunissen to ride behind an old ski boat?! I was impressed kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKu7iJVtnd2hbrMsi=FCGTmGLp16bd-IRf

Thanks for watching Jimmy! And yep, that Nautique Paragon is pretty amazing not to mention the wake being gigantic!

[@stankent7862]

I’ve ordered a new wake boat every year. This year I decided to buy a 2008 210 team. It was a fantastic summer and the kids had a blast. But, I miss the new wake tech. It’s seriously worth the money to buy a new boat. I would rather spend time riding over setting up, dialing in, and moving people, for the perfect wake. Work hard, make good life choices, and the money will follow. Shaun has always been an inspiration. Funny, in the 90’s, we were reading dot matrix printouts of trick descriptions and just getting wrecked.

[@vincebatla1909]

Everyone loves all the creature comforts and tech stuff, but you have to see it out of the water the hull is stunning. Correct me if I am wrong but it has some sorta stern thruster for docking assist, just everything on the boat has a reason the detail all the way to how compartments open up. It is absolutely gorgeous piece of work. Everyone involved should be very proud. I'd love to get behind one. Or drive it. Thanks for the demo Shaun!!

I’ve ridden on the paragon and it is amazing. Nautique did a amazing job on this boat.

[@Shaun.Murray]

Agreed Cullum!

[@Chrisdav44]

You can have a great wake! And only for the price of an average house

[@rickliners6123]

Nautique, and other manufactures make wakeboats at lower price points, more affordable, relatively speaking as these boats are very expensive. The G23 Para is not a boat aimed at consumers who are in the market for a 250K $ house. This is a luxury item just like an other and they did a great job with it. If I could afford it and was in that market tier, I would definitely buy one. And that is exactly their aim.

[@briangarrett6264]

I got to surf the one Race City had last week (unfortunately didn't get to wakeboard because of a torn pec) and the wave is phenomenal! SUPER long! Guess I may have to get one when my warranty runs up on my '16....so long as you promise you'll autograph it like you did my G23! You and Steve are the man (men?)!!!

Derek, learn what a-holing means. You are using it correctly.

[@DerekLanham]

Calvin Horch thanks. I was just trying to point out that gouging is typically associated with some external limit on choice. Some unethical pricing, aka swindle. Correct Craft makes a supreme, Malibu makes Axis, Nautique makes a 230, or the GS line, there is also a heyday. And guess what, you can surf with all of these boats. So there is no force or coercion.

Next level guys! Questions: is there a muffler for the engine sound? What’s the MPG? What’s the horse power? What’s the time for boat to get up to plane? What’s the Hull shape? Similar to opti-V? And the Fully loaded Cost?

[@caderobison4438]

John Lions I can only answer a few and these are more of what I’ve heard. I’d assume it’s about 500 horsepower, nautiques usually run the 575 raptor so. For mpg, it’s a boat it doesn’t get good mpg lol. For plane it’s all dependent on weight, but with that engine I’d assume 30 seconds max. Just an assumption though. Fully loaded I’m not sure, but msrp is $260,000 five or take.

[@Shaun.Murray]

John is pretty close on his numbers. 550 super charger. Honestly one of the quietest in the market for that big of an engine bc Nautique is very intentional about their baffeling (sp?). Planing is pretty quick w the 550 considering you can have about 11K of weight. V Hull. Fully loaded cost... not sure, but starts at 265K

[@bansheeman213]

That's just how actuators are . You have a small motor running at high rpm turning a very fine threaded rod that's most likely steel on steel so it last a long time and can hold the weight. Plus that boat has 8 of them all running at once. They could have gotten a quieter one or something like a ball screw but you would sacrifice strength or durability.

[@cpotts672]

My guess is they are Renco actuators just like the surf tab actuators and they are loud, i could be wrong, i haven't looked over the paragon yet but i will at the boat show, if they are Renco's on the tower they should last a while alot longer than the surf tab actuators anyway seeing as how they wont be getting wet.
