Glad its not too serious.

Glad it wasn't any worse. Hope to see you back on the water soon Jay.

How fast do you have to be going for something like this to happen?

At high speeds when you hit a wake, what causes the boat to react like that?

How big of a wave/wake would cause an accident like this?

Cuda - just like you, I've been on this board for awhile.
It happens everytime there is a mis-hap.
And it's tiring.
Everyone feels the need to blame it on something.

Let's just say something F-ed up. Glad no one was killed. And I hope a speedy recovery.

1) It doesn't take much speed.
2) Improper trim, or bad read of the wake/wave.
3) Not as big as you'd think, hit it wrong and a 2'er could do it.

I'm not an expert, and would never claim to be - just an opinion.

Let's just say something F-ed up.

Or someone F-ed up. People are too quick to blame a boat builder or water conditions rather then themselves.

I see it all day long. Stay far enough away from the other boats so you can't read the person capacity plate


1) It doesn't take much speed.
Driver error - should have been going slower
2) Improper trim, or bad read of the wake/wave.
Driver error - Driver doesn't know how to have hsi own boat trimmed for conditions
3) Not as big as you'd think, hit it wrong and a 2'er could do it.
Driver error - If it's unknown you should have been going slower or stayed farther back from the other boat

Yep - that's exactly what I was trying to say.

I really didn't mean to start this cycle of the thread, in fact, my intentions were to avoid it. I'm tired of every accident turning into a finger pointing game.
Something, or Someone F-ed up. It happens everyday.
I just hope the guy is alright.

Hope he is OK with no serious injuries.

I wonder what MPH high speed is?

The accident that happened on Lake Travis a number of weeks ago the news reported the boat was at high speed. Later the report said he was going 40mph.

On this lake I get passed all the time when I am running 40 by just about any boat, big cruisers and performance boats.

Same thing happened to me a few years back. Broke my nose and was hurting for a few weeks. 100% my fault, happened real fast. Thank God i had my lanyards on. Woke me up real quick.....

very true it could be bad at 25 to35mph thats fast to break you or your boat
