Shaun Murray's Challenge- Nonstop Ski Wakeboard Wakesurf

I wanted to see if I could go from a waterski, then to a wakeboard and then onto a wakesurfer without stopping. This was honestly going to just be a test to see if I could do it but figured we would capture it whether I failed or succeeded.

My challenge is to a buy a boat that can pull me

[@jacobrudich9386]

Lmao

[@rickyhackenmueller8620]

A lot of people have that problem including me lol 😅😅🤣🤣😂😂

My challenge is to buy a boat

[@m3k314]

Lmao yeah

[@moonbluebob]

Been skiing my whole life and now after finding this channel it’s time for this 44yr old Scotsman to give the wakeboarding a go this summer, a 31 yr old ski nautique should be perfect........shouldn’t it?? 😂

[@Shaun.Murray]

31 year old Nautique sounds more than perfect! It's perfecter! No, it's actually perfectest!

[@moonbluebob]

@@Shaun.Murray thanks for the reply mate, I’ll keep you posted on the progress once summer is here, can’t wait to get out there

[@alanpereira6824]

You are our leader. You took the challenge and succeeded. You are an inspiration and to all of us with a smile.

[@rex1062]

When you have so many sponsors that you forget what you are riding on

[@Shaun.Murray]

HA!

[@dannuthals7045]

30+ years ago, I was part of a group that attempted a similar ride, but did slalom - jump - barefoot. If memory serves me right, the only successful run was a guy who slalomed wrong-foot forward, jumped slalom, and tumbled up. This was a bunch of show skiers in Wisconsin camping out for a tournament on an off day. I remember we laughed so hard at each other's wipe outs! We did this behind a single-rig Hydrodyne. Good memories!

[@Shaun.Murray]

Jump skis?! Those bindings are usually crazy tight! Either way....LOVE IT!

[@tytanncrew7526]

Where is the barefoot at the end?

[@hamishc2445]

Tytann Crew would have been cool to see an attempt

[@Shaun.Murray]

It's on my mind...

[@brodyphrakaysone3631]

Go knee board, ski, wake board, wake surf, barefoot, I know it’s a really big ask but if you did that would be well beyond amazing

[@skippywinters]

Some people are never satisfied 🙄

[@willmcgraw2507]

JVA R/wooooosh

[@TheAceInfinity]

You missed the air chair LOL ultimate part of the challenge

[@Shaun.Murray]

Now that would be a hard transfer.

[@SlalomSkier8811]

So cool! Love how you show that you can have an absolute awesome time on the water no matter what you are doing and you don’t have to always be landing the next biggest trick or whatever!

[@Shaun.Murray]

Keep it fun Andrew!

[@lesdebbold159]

No way! That was amazing. Kind of insane for a man over 20 years old. Think like a kid, act like a kid, experience joy like a kid.

[@levibryant4992]

WAKE-TO-WAKE ON A SKI! YEAH BOYS!!!!

[@stacybromell8637]

Hey Shaun, last week my 11 got up on the wakeboard for the first time. I watched your videos, used the techniques, and he popped right up. His grin was epic! His old man also did three jumps this weekend! Your work touches a lot of lives. My family is grateful to you!

[@Shaun.Murray]

Great feedback Stacy so thanks for sharing!

[@christophervelez2996]

This reminds me of your old Wakeboarding game you had in the early 2000s... make another one! It was awesome!

[@ryanclayton5688]

That dude gets more air on a slalom ski than I do wakeboarding. Jk

[@bradohaas1786]

Ryan Clayton me too!😂

[@jeffbryner5355]

Ryan Clayton lol same here

[@treymatthews5425]

Lol

[@crashcourse3155]

LOL JK...but seriously he does...

[@Shaun.Murray]

It's a pretty big wake Ryan;)

[@DavidOCaoimhWakeboarder]

Hahha that was so sick

[@ryanenglish4561]

David OC Your Turn!!

[@tylerwhite9210]

Lets go David do this for the lads and lassies

[@AcheForWake]

Completely agree with the other comments, send it Dave!

[@Notter111]

At the cottage this summer we wanted to switch a skier from behind the seadoo too behind the boat! Took a lot of tries but we got it!!

[@Shaun.Murray]

Nice. Be careful. But nice move

[@karldaschner2751]

Well done!

[@kdome21]

That was Awesome!!

[@Shaun.Murray]

Thanks Dome!

[@ThisIsMyStoryPODCAST]

Dude! I gotta come over and play!!! Can't believe you pulled this off. The surfboard looked like it was getting heavy on you. :)

[@Shaun.Murray]

For real was getting arm pump after the rope pull in and then holding the board

[@GregxSheppCbr]

What a great way to mix it up, great video!

[@mikefryer4492]

That was dope. That takes a crazy amount of skill 🤙🤙

[@leelavoy]

Good job looks so fun.

[@ryanshimabukuro3283]

You're even MORE of da man now, Shaun! That was insane!!!

[@carlosbarreto1213]

Love it Shaun, I'm gonna have to try this.

[@josualohr922]

Straight talent!! Absolute legend right there.

[@OBrienWatersports]

Props Shaun, what a fun challenge!

[@scottjobe]

Murray. That way amazing

[@Shaun.Murray]

Thanks Scotty

[@Hyperlite134]

I highly doubt you remember this but roughly 12 years ago you were at the competition in Lake Andrea in Pleasant Prairie, WI. I loved going to this event and I was maybe 14 years old and didn’t know what to think about the world. Every wakeboarder there was more welcoming and kind than anyone would ever expect. The wake boarding community is beyond kind even at the professional level and it made me love the sport even more. Anyway, you (Shaun) were asking if anyone played Halo 2 online because you did at the time and you gave me your gamer tag and I was fortunate enough (even with my annoying, pre-pubescent voice) to actually play a couple of games with you. You were extremely kind and amazing to talk to and I truly respect that you took the time of day to do such a thing. Im sure you were and are insanely busy but I truly appreciate you taking the time to meet with your fans and even play a couple of games with me. Unfortunately, I have given up wake boarding due to work and family, but I still love watching the videos and keeping up with everything in that realm. You, Shaun, are the heart and soul of wake boarding and your calm demeanor and understanding is going to create the next generation of wakeboarders in the same sense Travis Pastrana has created the next generation of FMX. You truly are a legend and one of the best out there because of your drive and compassion. Keep doing what you’re doing and thank you very much for those stupid couple of games of Halo 2. You made me feel like a million bucks because I got to talk to one of my heros person to person and that is something I’ll never forget. I hope the wakeboarding community hasn’t and will never change from the way it was. Also a shout out to Parks Bonifay for doing everything he does. I had the fortunate chance of riding with him on Lily Lake up here in a Wisconsin. Also an amazing guy. But so is pretty much everyone else in this community. Thanks for everything Shaun and I hope you never change. You’re an amazing man.

[@Shaun.Murray]

I remember the event and honestly remember playing some games w you bc I didn't give out my gamer tag to too many people:) Oh the days of playing video games... Glad we got to hang and have some fun together. Thanks for the comment!

[@derekbolf]

@@Shaun.Murray I remember the same experience in Wasaga beach Toronto, Circa 2004 I had an Xstar and some of the guys join me for some fun, was really great and I echo they where so chill and NIce guys, Scott Byerly also joined.

[@mattcarlson12]

GOD BLESS SHAUN MURRAY! 🙏

[@DadDare]

Nice work Shaun!

[@ArthurGemperle]

Incredible awesome well done

[@nozamcg8951]

You are so skilled - nice boards as well!

[@averyyounger5506]

Very impressive man, it was a nail biter towards the end but pulled it off. Kudos

[@Shaun.Murray]

Thanks Ave! Was a nail biter for me too but my hands were so tired from pulling the rope, I couldn't bite my nails:)

[@kricker4245]

So epic.... love it.

[@johnbrimer5709]

A whole new meaning to 3 event water sports. Very cool!

[@SophiaandPJ]

Awesome Shaun! Really need to try this myself! Maybe a slalom -> trickski -> wakeskate version 🤔 I'll make sure to get it on video too!

[@adrianward7089]

You da Man..., wish my dad was that cool!

[@barryallen827]

Now that was really cool Shaun!

[@watsupitsdenny]

I could see nautique using this challenge as a good ad especially for the GS’s since they’re supposed to be great ski boats on top of being great wakeboard boats.

[@robertstuck3214]

Nice. It's all about having fun.

[@jjohnson1835]

Sweet! Now I’m wishing I was riding. Thanks Shaun.

[@tonyk3086]

I think that adding a bit of barefooting to the end of the rotation would be a good finish. From the surfer, grab the rope and work your way back to the handle. Then sit on the surfer with your feet out in front and build speed. You need to be near the front so that it does not porpoise. Plant your feet you are footing!

[@user-qp6ys1xk2x]

You're amazing dude!!

[@ambientcotton7066]

Cool video Shaun! I thought for sure you would do the bomb drop! Lol. 🤙🏄‍♂️

[@tkrey23]

That was fun. You're a madman

[@bradgreene2553]

Way to go Shawn. I have to give some props to the driver. JD. Way to go guys.

[@allmtbnzscottbrownhill2896]

Time to add a foil to this challenge. Single ski swap would have been the sketchiest part of that.

[@FlowPoint]

Haha!! This is sick buddy! Well executed!

[@paulgeorge1069]

Mad skills bro

[@gavinprinsloo]

That’s cool. We like it.

[@bernardomariadevilla-lobos9395]

Hey murray I have been watching you videos for awhile now and notice ever time I see your old boards in the background I never see one that I have it is the Murray 137 honeycomb it looks kinda like a dark sky blue purple gray and says hyperlite on the bottom with red and yellow

[@michaelpryor2981]

VERY NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Shaun.Murray]

Thanks Brian!

[@mikepedlar6622]

That was dope

[@bradkubota5650]

My friends from church took me wakesurfing a couple of weeks ago and I never could quite get up out of the water, maybe I was going about the wrong way, hahaha

[@Shaun.Murray]

Brad, cool to hear you went out w some friends from church, but bummer you didn't get up. Check this out, should help some but let me know how it goes kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmXFk3ptftWdosk

Trying to get to OWC soon again to try and get better!

[@erictowle6584]

Excellent, now just find a way to get back to slalom without stopping! haha

[@theloyalbrand1798]

Killer!!!

[@waltjake1]

Sweet! Next time start on 2 drop one to a slalom, transfer to wakeboard maybe throw in a kneeboard to drop just so theres more equipment floating, then surf and sit down on the surfboard and barefoot off it. Fun videos. Cheers!

[@Shaun.Murray]

Def have thought of some other fun ways to level up on this one

[@brockbelnap3967]

Nice

[@zjcrazy94]

Great video! Add a wakeskate in there next time and you will cover all the sports!

[@matthewroughgarden8404]

Scott B plus kneeboarding

[@quatrax8691]

Plus barefoot

[@connor7015]

Plus sky ski

[@royalnpoison1547]

Plus a Trick Ski and Jumpers

[@codysmith1214]

[@hatzlmike1]

[@thetwinturbo9520]

Can u try doing that but start with surfboard then go wake bord then sky

[@phantomslayer5171]

[@brysonberhorst9795]

Now to find the ski and wakebaord.

[@Shaun.Murray]

Found em!

[@user-lu7qn9no2i]

凄い

[@jordanjones7918]

Now try it backward!! That would be really cool!

Hi Shaun

(I subscribed)

[@emilybogatay9305]

Wow

[@whatscreenname]

LOL Awesome

[@tylerwhite9210]

Try just straight up surfing on your wake board bindings on but wake just like you surf I have only seen one vid on that lets if you can do it

[@physiquestkorea2728]

What type of boat do you have

[@Shaun.Murray]

Physiquest, check this vid out. Shows me exchanging my 2016 for a 2018. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIuTeIGJbpuWpZo

[@pgftballshorts7077]

We have the exact same slalom ski 😂

[@drewdreds]

I have the same wake surf board as you

[@jubnx2781]

My challenge is a wake to wake on a sea doo wake!

[@Shaun.Murray]

No prob. you got this

[@_Parcero_]

I just order your life vest!!!

[@dorausmunster]

I’m worried about paying for 3 Sessions and loosing 2 boards, being how poor I am

[@michealshane1418]

They probably turned around and grabed the boards in the water as they were passing them. Haha The skis and wakeboards float you don’t want another boat running them over on accident and effing up their boat

[@bustinbass6150]

I wish I could wakesurf

[@eshay6132]

i thought i was cool when i did this same thing but just the boat didn’t stopped i got back on the boat changed thing and jumped of while it’s still moving

[@royalnpoison1547]

Slalom best and most difficult outta all three

[@lucascrawford6844]

Next challenge idea: 2 people out at wakeboard distance behind the boat on surfboards at wakeboard speed Person #1 jumps wake to wake and kicks off his board raley style while person #2 jumps off his board while person #1 lands on said jumped off board Let's see it

[@ryand3820]

Lucas Crawford then after he lands on the board he has to do a backflip and land on the board again

[@barteks1243]

You prefere to ride with or without helmet?

[@Shaun.Murray]

When riding park (cable), I ride w a helmet. Also when using Bb Talkin

[@barteks1243]

@@Shaun.Murray but when you riding behind a boat?

[@Shaun.Murray]

@@barteks1243 not when riding behind boat. I'm not suggesting with or without is better but that's what I do.

[@barteks1243]

@@Shaun.Murray when you start riding?

[@Shaun.Murray]

@@barteks1243 first started skiing at 8 years old, skurfing at 11. The skurfer is the grandfather of the wakeboard

[@paulgeorge1069]

I have seen you barefoot so I guess your keeping that for the next round? Way to keep God mode in the back pocket in case someone ups the anti. It is easy to get up barefooting on either the wakeboard or wake surf board. Hell I've even got up off sitting on a ski. I can't stand deepwater starts I got no cheeks I guess cause I have a hard time getting over the crest of the wake. To me it feels like drowning lol

[@Shaun.Murray]

Barefooting may come into play on this one day... But for footing and getting over the wake, you're talking about footing yourself right? You doing it w a barefoot suit? And having barefoot shorts under that helps even more

[@paulgeorge1069]

If you get up from sitting on a board. I normally take off from sitting between the bindings of a wakeboard mainly because I hate deep water starts. I don't wear my suit all the time just board shorts and a vest. No tumble turns without though.

[@colenagel2865]

I wish my dad was this cool
