Skiing behind a 12,000 HP Jet Ferry Boat

that did not look like 43 mph, maybe 33

Cool. But not 43.

I'd say that it is not even 33, much less in my opinion.

I gotta agree. Did you notice that some of the ski team are wearing ski jumping skis?

i bet those are, like high speed rough water skis...because they have ski races that get up to like 70-80mph dont they? and i dont think theyre going near 43mph when that wakeboarder is up...but there towards the end they were going more than 33mph

We had 50 people up behind one of the San Francisco Blue and Gold, not more than 20mph but it was interesting skiing with that many people. We went from the Bay Bridge to the GG Bridge. This was back in the mid 80's. Most of us used jump skis because they provide the most surface area and most stability.

The skis are regular jump skis probably 72 inchers, but i would say they are going about 30-35. I bet they told everyone that the boat could go 43 but they didn't pull them that fast for sure.

that was cool but some one needs to slow it down and wake surf on it
right where the 2 wakes meet, kind of like 2 boat wake surfing but with a huge wake

toward the end of the video it looked faster imo
