Check out the Super Air Nautique G23 on my signature picture. Not a water ski boat a wakeboard board monster.

I know all about it...I was a fool that used to hang on the back in my younger (foolish) days.
Great fun but bloody expensive hobby. Body is suffering now though!
Hunstanton at the north Norfolk coast was my club. Certainly worth watching on race day!

Those guys are nuts.
That would hurt big time if you fell . The sea state was pretty rough too! Brave or stupid not sure?

Yep nuts we were!! crazy speeds for sure and it is like hitting a brick wall!! You are strapped to the ski so broken ankles was common.
