For the non-believers and guys who think I am way past crazy .......... In Australia it is called Extreme Thundercat racing, in the UK it is called Zapcat racing and here in South Africa where the sport started it is called Pencil Duck racing ....... found an awesome video for you guys that think I am insane to see exactly what it is all about ......

Very very nice. You guys are NUTS!! 8) 8)

Glad they showed the good with the bad so you can see what you (the racer) are really up against.

With those twin keels it's easy to see how you can execute hair pin turns where you can dispose of your front team mate.

A wonder you don't have a steady stream of meat wagons headed for the hospital. :%

And, like you said, the babes love it.....or you .....or both d:)

Thanks for the show.

That didn't seem all that bad!!! Looks Like fun, I might set something up like that this summer :)
I normally just take my 14' out in rough conditions, Last year we found a canal, 10' swells, boat in the air, lots of fun.
