i see they arent encumbered by pesky speed robbing helmets or PFD's . . . . I'm sure they had their lanyards on though

That was awesome. That is the first time that I ever saw that type of racing, I don't care what your boat type is racing is racing, and that was pretty cool.

Thanks for the post

I've seen a few clips before, but not that video. Also, thanks for posting.

Sadly, that was almost more entertaining than Sunday in Key West this year.

I've got a SurfJet. I think it needs a serious tune up!
