Default Winter blues got you yet?

And or, think you have stones?

The Aussies do this.
Just got responsible and slowed them down.

Towards the end of the video they touch 139, w/two slalom skiers behind them!

When men were men.

I’m feeling them blues along with a couple bad stock trades today! 😂

Those guys are out of their minds. With that much slack, the turns could get sketchy in a hurry I bet. Would love to see the boat that’s pulling them.

There must be quite the following of that sport because those little boats with the QC4V’s and M8s and all the other equipment can’t be cheap.

Edit: pretty sure I’ve seen some with just a single drive.

It’s big down there.

They take huge powered IO’s, granted, in small, light hulls and make them live.

And idling/pulling well enough that they pull up two slalom skiers from a deep water start, then leave their foot on the floor for 60+ miles!

Their trailers are as over the top too!

Search the “Bridge to Bridge”.
One of very few items still on my bucket list.

Similar to the Isle of Man bike races, will soon be banned to protect us from ourselves.

Amazing how that boat pulls to 130 plus with two skiers and an extra 400 lbs of testicles hanging on out back.

they gotta have something to do down there, they allow themselves to be ruled by idiots, the Aussie's gave up all there guns years ago and the country is going back into lock down again after just a few months of freedoms

Most countries are ruled by idiots at the moment and you can blame those idiots when lockdowns get too strict.

Aussies don’t need guns to defend themselves because there’s so few ‘bad apples’. 🙂

Have you been there lately? Still a bloody good place for a crazy ski race.
