Well this is interesting....anyone out there know how to do this safely??? i could pick up alot of chicks this way :lolhit:

Anybody can do that with an outboard powered ski boat. Just put a 2X4 under the motor, trim it back and hit the throttles.

I have a little center console with outboard.... would it flip over when I try it??

I'd hate to see what happens when one (or both) motors die in the middle of one of those. I doubt you could out-run the wake running up the stern. "Hey dude, watch this! Roar, cough, blub, blub."

And to think somebody thought the guy in the Cig with years of experience jumping a wake was dumb.

BigBoater 08-11-2011 06:45 PM

good point never thought of that.. and I saw the guy in the cig, that was STUPID, i see wave runners do as bad or worse though

That just looks like one of those things where he says" here, hold my beer" before he trys it.

Either way, I want to learn to do that. I am on the verge of trying it Saturday at the beach. this proper safety gear, and starting slow. I need tips on how I could not hurt my self lol

The first thing I would do is make sure I had a life vest on with the kill switch/cord tethered to me. That way if you fell out the motors would be cut.
