Man I wish I had the Camera Yesterday
So we are out on the river and we normally see these two guys riding the air chairs and man are they incredible. Long story short pulling a friend on the wake board and notice that one of them is down and he is coming around with the other guy still on the line, somehow too far to really tell i just see the down'd guy pick up the line and pull right back out with the boat never stopping. Although I am still new to a lot of this this seemed like some of the coolest driving and riding I have ever seen.

I can think of several guys that it could have been. Not that hard of a trick if everyone is paying attention. I skied in a show when we would do 2 man ATB's and the driver would do it with both guys on slalom skis.

A good driver can really astonish a crowd, or make a whole act fail.......they never get any credit though.

Not us Mac...but thanks for the 'shout out'....here is the kid last weekend...he just gets better and I have given up trying to keep up.... I do pretty much do a drive by when he skis, he just grabs the handle and I go....after pulling him and my daughter for over 13 years, you kinda get that driver/skier thing going.... If more boarders and skiers figured out foiling, they would never look back. This thing is amazing..... Here is Sully on a wake roll the other day, see what I mean!

Mac, What length line are you using? How fast? I am going at about 23, but we are using an 85 ft line with Lonnie's release....I am landing on the 2nd wake alot, but the hang time is incredible...with the long line we get a really wide arc so our air times are wild....

Speed it up some...I think that you'll be more stable. Also, with the longer line, you get more hang time, but you also get more good water between the wakes that is not propped washed out so bad....landing in the good water makes a huge difference. You may want to check out that B39....mighty sweet ride!
Come on down south to Tn. and we'll give you a test ride.
