Wakeboarding video

[solar7647]

Well I eneded my season of riding with a bunch of loacal riders one of witch I met through Iboat and started his own wakeboard web site. anyway we gathered a bunch of guys up and went out along with a few video cameras. The attached link is the resault. It took about 3 weeks to get through the 4/5 hrs of video and edit it!

It was all on the Maumee river in NW ohio.

Re: Wakeboarding video

Awsome video! Had to watch it twice! Were you surfing behind the Centurion? Just wondering if it can be done behind an I/O.

Take a look here as to why you don't wake surf behind an I/O - http://www.howtowakesurf.com/.

Good deal guys, wish we got great boarding weather like that up here in NY.

I'm always fighting 1-2 foot waves and were not allowed to produce wakes on the rivers

It was a MasterCraft with a V drive. I would say surfing behind a IO is a bad idea, quick way to meet a prop!!!

I am asuming you are forced to use the big lake then, I go out on lake Erie every once and while, a bit shallower then Onterio and is super effected by the wind. I foiund early morn and late evenings work best.

No wakes on Rivers is a bumer

Re: Wakeboarding video

Thanks guys for the kind words, I hope to get some additional equipment and do a longer video with footage of borders on a bunch of differant places in Ohio next summer. Being on a tube and having riders jump over me was nuts, it worked ok but I will have to figure out a more stable way, its just to jerky and it takes away from the video quality when i have to digitaly stabelize it.

Re: Wakeboarding video

I can't say that I completely disagree with the no wake zones. I've seen 3 boathouses with damage from wakeboard wakes and know of 3 small islands we used to camp on 10 years ago that have seen their erosion rates sped up till they are going to be gone completely in a couple of years.
Don't get me wrong I'm not anti-wakeboard but I can easily see their point.

Nasty for sure! We always shut our motor down before getting in the water anyway. That photo just made it a must!

Yea I mis-spoke on the boat brand, the trailer said mastercraft:redface: not my boat so dont know much about it.

I used the Kodak playsport (http://store.kodak.ca/store/ekconsus/en_CA/pd/PLAYSPORT_Video_Camera/productID.169976100) Great camera for a great price, $200 for camera, two batteris, 8gb HDSD card, and a case. Got it from Best Buy oh and its water proof up to 10ft deep. It the same size as my Blackberry Bold.

The camera from the boat was just a JVC HD camera I think.
