Safety aside, what's the fastest you've witnessed or pulled a tuber behind a boat.

I used to be a knee board juggernaut! 74 might have pushed my limit tho!

I was a fat kid and couldnt pull myself up on a Knee board, but my love handles could grip a tube better than anyone else so it equalled out.

LOL

I like where this is going.....

About 8 years ago behind a 29 Fountain I had a friend + 2 ski ropes tied together + knee board. 1 sharp turn at about 50mph later and all sorts of funny **** happened.

Please share th outcome of your findings.

We pulled a friend in true 3' chop with 4' holes in Long Island Sound for a few minutes at about 25 mph. Wound up getting stitches in the hospital...a bloody mess. I think that was fast enough lol.
