I'm thinking at that speed, with that roost,..... could you really tell if you lost a skier?...or were dragging him by the feet?:yikes

Can't think of an adjective to do justice to that....fierce.

Seeing that swamp water sure makes me appreciate our local Colorado even more...:yikes

Dkahnjob · Jul 25, 2014

Very impressive to say the least. I would like to see a closer look at the boat.

Wow!!

God damn

ChevelleSB406 · Jul 25, 2014

Very impressive, do we know anything about the boat, speed is impressive alone, let alone towing a couple of skiers.

RiverDave · Jul 25, 2014

That is awesome.. That has to be one hair ball ride.

The Sacramento river.

Force Boats from Australia. Stupid HP (1600+ rumored) and a Merc #6 drive. There is a similar boat running with NWSRA.

DLow · Jul 26, 2014

Those Aussies are doing some impressive stuff. They have some single outboard guys putting up big numbers also.

jayboat · Jul 26, 2014

Holy crap, that was impressive.
I saw what looked like fishpot buoys on the route as well as numerous birds scared up by the boat. :yikes

Could you survive a fall at that speed? Seems unlikely.
Not that it matters, but anyone know if they use special skis for this sort of thing?

Just guessing here, but they must be using speed skis, they are very long, square on the back and have big bindings, Very stable and made for one thing, going fast and straight.
