Anyone tried running two boats next to each other? I remember seeing a post about that on here, but I can't find it. I'd love to see pics and hear about how it worked out.

I think the video was one of Liquid ride boats. They had two boats wakesurfing. I Think? I tried looking for it, but nothing.

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZPdtaIdzlw" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZPdtaIdzlw</a> <BR> <BR>2 Liquid rides. Nice wave. <BR> <BR>This is one liquid ride and my old launch. Good times, just need 2 good drivers. We don't use perfect pass when doing this and you need to stay close together. <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/559019/582961.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/559019/582962.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/559019/582963.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/559019/582964.jpg" alt="Upload">

I will get some more vid and pics with 2 vlx's or one vlx and one liquid ride later on this summer.

We did this about 4 years ago. It was a blast to ride such a big wave. I remember that the boats were really close and the drivers had to keep watching each other to stay together.
|
Yeah, the drivers can't really watch the rider at all. It's really cool because you get this massive wave right where the 2 come together and it just sends you flying forward. <BR> <BR>Also we tend to drive around 13 - 16 mph.

We did it last year with an 07 Typhoon and my 06 Enzo. <BR> <BR>The results were life changing. I have never seen such chaos on a lake before. This year, a friend bought an Enzo so we are going to run two Enzo's side by side! <BR> <BR>I hope I get to get in the bowl this year instead of just driving it. We had two riders in there at once riding frontside, backside, whatever side you want. When a rider fell out we just kept going and another rider would jump in. <BR> <BR>It helps to get one boat up to speed, then have the other boat pull into position.

I gotta try this, I have driven and ridden the spine on a wakeboard and it is a lot of fun. Haven't gotten to do this yet. I agree with Jason in that it is easier to have one boat start and hold speed and have the other pull in and match the speed.
|
I've seen it done and it looks like a lot of fun, but never had the right set up with the same/similar boats...Hopefully we can get an opportunity to try this summer <IMG SRC="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":-)" BORDER=0>

are there any laws regarding how close two boats can get to each other while under way? seems like it would be a blast, but also seems like it's just asking to get harassed.
|
not in canada - to my knowledge on my under policed 90 mile long lake.

WAKEOUTLAWS.COM has a video on there web-site

Two boat surfing is awesome. You need to bump the speed up 5-6 mph and have two good drivers. He are some pictures from last year.<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/559019/585411.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/559019/585412.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/559019/585413.jpg" alt="Upload">

Nice air, that's intense because of the speed.
