It was that rough for at least 15 miles. The problem was once the no wake was lifted at 530, it was go time for EVERYBODY. I've ridden in baywatch's 36 Apache home from the Shootout 6 out of the last 7 years and never gotten even spray of water on us. This year, I think we got sprayed 5-6 times. The water was was about 2 foot bigger than any other Shootout departure.

I agree, in 2012 I was just chugging along at 10 mph in my Fountain and we put the whole nose under water!
