Ok it's not really a sport yet but I saw it on a surfing video and I cant get it out of my head. Has anyone seen that guy in Hawaii that took an airchair and put snowboard bindings on it and surfs big waves? <BR> <BR>I keep trying to figure out how to make my own and was wondering if anyone has done it behind a boat. <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/224447.jpg" alt=""> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/224448.jpg" alt=""> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/224449.jpg" alt=""> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/224450.jpg" alt="">

Sky Ski makes them. Saw them last year. They are using snowboard type of boot/binding with a cable release. I have been told hydrofoilers can ride the swells in from 5 miles out.

Alot of guys are having their airchair/skyski converted to stand up and still riding behind a boat. They use snowboard boots on adaptor plates. <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/224470.jpg" alt="">
