On the DVD - Young Guns II just before his segment in Indo he's surfing behind the huge ship they are staying on. He's amazing even in that small wake behind the boat. If you enjoy surfing vid's this is a must have.

Have you seen "Step Into Liquid"? In one section, these guys wakesurf behind huge cargo ships, pretty cool...

Hey David, I haven't seen that yet. We have some friends that tow in behind tugboats. They describe the wakes as 5 foot high with a pocket that is 30-40 foot long. Time for a new boat? :-)
