Couple friends bought boats... We've been using pull tubes, wakeboarding and a couple of fruits tried skiing. I haven't given wakeboarding a shot yet but I can probably get it. The tubes a rush when doing donuts and hopping waves. Smacking the water at 30mph or so is quite fun... I think I'm ready to up the ante though...

anyone ever used one of these? I saw one on Rob & Big and they were going like 6 feet in the air or so without really going that fast... a friend said he had seen videos of ones going 20 feet or so in the air. Just wondering if anyone has used one of the manta ray towable's, and what it's capable of...
Answered my own question...

looks like fun, wonder how it'll perform with small(er) boats.

I'm about to invest $600 to get hurt.

"Takes me 45+ feet in the air"... then the driver lets off the throttle... smart.

Airborne at 23 mph... sweet... and the stating of the obvious, that it isn't safe.

That is some crazy shit....
The wife's cabin is on a big enogh lake, but 600 is a lot to drop for an inflatable

A decent single tube is like $100, a double is $300... I'm going to a big ass store that sells pools but has all kinds of inflatables hanging outside... hope they have some cool stuff.

I saw one when I was camping last year. Pretty sweet. Saw the damn thing hit the water hard and tossed a rider, god I laughed.
Fuckers were scaring away my fishes.
