only cn 1 being used in Perth and that isn't so flash/fluttered about and does random flips and **** 4 no foreseeable reason-the guys riding it had bn doing some above average wakeboarding b4 so it wasn't like they were newbies to water sports either

lol - how can you call that extreme? I reckon you would get bored of it after about 2 minutes...

Not to take in consideration the smell of the petrol from the boat.
And what's the skill in "piloting" the think?
What control do you have, what cool stuff can you do on it?
Just being dragged by a boat?
I have to agree, thats boring and dumb.

I think the box they come in says 15mph, I can tell you to get it that high you need to be going a lot faster.

Thanks for the links Tobes.......its insane that it even exists and is being marketed by some one.

I couldn't believe it when "tubing" appeared...my brother pulls his kids around on one and they love it. To me it seems just so lame, kinda like something invented for fat and lazy people to get thrills on the water....but gotta do it just once I recon....same with "tube kiting" where is it all going to........pure madness.

all the videos have those wake boats with v8 chevy blocks and more powerful stuff so when you here the guys saying "that's full throttle" or "flat stick it" you know some bad sh!t is gonna happen!
