World wakesurf distance record
Pretty cool stuff. You can bet with a little press there's going to be quite a few attempts at this record. Check the video at the end of the article: http://www.grindtv.com/outdoor/blog/...+panama+canal/

Does anyone know what set-up he had on the boat? It looks like a MC X-25 to me.
|
I read that is was an X-25:
"...through the Gatun Lake, and back again to where he started, surfing a wave created by a MasterCraft X25 2010 boat." http://www.ink-on-the-web.com/2011/0...-panama-canal/ |
I've done 5 miles before on Lake Erie,I can't even imagine that distance.
|
Sounds like a job for the "Saltless Surfer". My favorite loco goofy rider.
|
i asked chris if he thought he could stand behind the boat for 4 hours ........ he laughed
looks like he is on a skimboard? i wonder which style board would tire you less for a long endurance run like that we have just been surfing big time at santa cruz this winter ........ i havent even seen the boat since november ........ looks like we will be splitting our time this coming year at the ocean and on the boat ........ chris has been riding a quad fin fish in the ocean and maybe ............. |
RJ has done about 60 mins once, just because we were going to the other side of the lake, and RJ said, "can I surf it". I would think a stable surf style board would be easier to not lose your balance when you get tired.
RJ and Whitney would love to head out with you once or twice to Santa Cruz. That would be fun, and make a great podcast. |
as soon as the weather clears up robert we will hit it ........ we will be there all this weekend but the weather is alittle too unsettled for saturday but sunday is supposed to be real nice ......... we now have a couple of real nice longboards and 2 nice shortboards ......... im even getting a shortboard for a 280lber !!!!!!
|
didn't somebody ride for 24hrs straight? I would think they would have killed this record

"The team from People's Wave Center uploaded a video of the recent testing. Check it out and get an inside look at the facility. One surfer maintained a barrel ride for over 2 minutes. Probably a new world record! "
I guess they never heard of wakesurfing |
