thats cool stuff dude.... when I was younger (and didn't have this belly ) I used to knee board..... flips were fun... but hard to do ... needed the boat going real fast for a large enough wake behind it to do it ...I water skied a bit but was never fond of it like I was knee boarding .... Haven't done that stuff in like 6 or 7 years now .....probably forgot how

what speed is the boat going at ?

Heh, yah what lake are you on, I thought you were gonna bust out a huge raley or Tantrum lol.

Wakeboarding is like a religion up here in muskoka, allot of pros come here to ride, you probably know Wakestock originated here. Now in wasaga..boo

A buddy of mine from highschool is in the middle of a professional filming (hes doing the camera work) he keeps showing me cuts of it Ill let you know when its in stores, 90% of the footage is on our lake, and I know a few guys riding in it.

hahah kneeboarding is so getto, I do it once a year just for ****s and kicks lol



Average wakeboarind speed is 20mph, most boats cant hold the optimal speed of 21-22mph, thats why i say average...

The new wakeboarding dedicated boats like the airnautiqe and mastercraft, have optional digital spedos and cruise controll tho, so you can set it at 1mph incriments

BTW what are yopu riding behind? regualr boat with a pole? or are you behind a tower...?

i was going about 22mph

lake is called Little White Fish lake just 20 min south of Parry Sound Ontario...

I need a perfect pass to keep the speed perfect, and some fat sacks...

yah me too, im getting to old (24 today ) to start learning flip tricks, Im scared of smashing my expensive dental work or something lol... Man ive seen it all, busted teeth, seaperated shoulders, broken collar bones! haha, i dont need that, I enjoy the sport enough with just spin tricks and big air, just like what your doing in you vid After all the most it means to me is chillin out on the lake with my buddies, then beers on the dock "afterwards". Its a great passtime! nothing beats fun in the sun on a quiet lake!
