High-Speed surfing

We're out on the lake without enough wake to drop the rope, so we decided to try somethng a little different.

We bumped up the PP to 18mph and the wake cleaned up ALOT and made a nice little spot to surf(holding the rope of course). We could do some really cool floaters and cuts and stuff like that. Probably the most fun we've had on a surfboard.

Does anyone else do this?

I've surfed as fast as 14.7 mph on a Trick Boardz Mojo XL. That was WOT and that was a free ride - no rope.

$100,000 wave two enzo speeds up to 24 with no rope

not me but i was on one of the boats its crazy
i have seen austin day and ryan fair do it

both of whom ride for Calibrated

My friend decided to be an ahole and see how long i could hang onto the rope and he got up to 42 and I was still standing strong. I couldnt see diddly squat. He even tried ripping a turn but I held my ground. I eventually fell and it hurt a little.

Hugh my buddies and I and did that probably about five years ago before we were really aware of wakesurfing. We'd wax up an old directional hyperlite and throw big bottom turns into floaters on the rooster tail. Good fun if you don't have a boat you can surf behind.

We really had alot of fun with it....

I tried speedsurfing a couple weeks back, I had the driver whip me around at around 25mph. I let go of the rope and carved into a roller catching a good 4ft of air on a 4"4 surf

Have boards specifically built for that. www.shredstixx.com
"The Original"
Did 83mph a few years back on the Pit Arm of Shasta. A bro's got the video, I will try to get it. When I let go I coasted about 1/4 mi. Never been tempted to break my record. Scott Pellaton does 120+ barefoot!! Told him about my 83 on a surfboard and he just laughed at me.

Yeah the other day I surfed at 215MPH no rope. It was a blast.

JERRY !!! what kind of boat did you do that in? In your dreams? you could not breath the air at 83 mph.

"Did 83mph a few years back on the Pit Arm of Shasta. A bro's got the video"

Fantastic!

So are there just a bunch of kids on here trying to be funny, because their not

Stroked flat bottom. No wake at all. 83 ain't squat, skiers 130, barefoot just a little less than that....and they do not hold their breath or wear oxygen tanks. Still have the board we built for it if anybody wants to borrow it. Plenty of boats around here that go much faster than that, I'll hook you up. Here's one better, bring the pink to your boats, winner takes all.

This kind of boat. With the original engine it was recorded running 130 mph, currently tops out at 80ish.



They barefoot at speeds as high ass 80 mph. Can you say I hope there are not tree stumps in the water?

Ed, Is that your boat. Be carefull, apparently race boat drivers...Speed skiers...speed footers and speed surfers,motorcycle riders and race car drivers, can't breath when going faster than 80....Bummer

jerry i hope you were wearing a CGA vest

sorry i had to

I have no desire to go much faster than 30 or so in a boat. That’s one of my friends vintage race boats. He does breathe O2 when he's running his GNH boat.

The blue one is a 1958 and has a 1957 Corvette motor, how cool is that?

The Red and white one has a fire truck theme. He has $3,000 worth of LEDs on is and a 900W siren on his tow truck.

Sick pics! Boat races and high speed anything on water literally make the hair on my arms stand up. Missed the boat drags in Red Bluff this year.....Damn wakesurf contest!! just kidding Jeff.

You better be Jerry! Hey Jerry, when I was a kid growing up in Lodi, I swear I could remember hearing the sound of Hydro's did they ever have races around this area?

Ed, is that the hull that was at the SBC?

Right, the Red/White/Black boat was at the boat club. The green boat, the Miss Mandela, also has a down pushing wing that he can bolt over the engine.

i thought this was a thread about high speed surfing not high speed boats.

High speed riding on surf boards, not surfing. So if you don't have a high speed boat how are going to reach these high speeds, jet pack?

Does anyone know what Edward (bigshow) is talking about, high speed riding on surf boards, not surfing??? I am confused. I thought this was a thread about surfing behind boats at high speeds

I understand. "High speed riding on surf boards" means riding a surf board while holding a rope at a high speed. Jerry said he did this at 83 mph. "High speed surfing" means riding a surf board behind a boat with out a rope at a high speed. Nashville said he saw two guys do this at 24 mphs.

ahhh
thank you for clearing that up for me

I take out my 5'10 fish and surf with a rope at about 18-20 mph at about 60' of rope length pretty accurately simulates some of the waves we get around here

Monday morning I had some bro-in-laws in town and we decided to do some line riding after we were tired from wakeboarding.

At about 21mph I was ollieing into the middle of the wake until the fin busted off the HL Landlock. Their fin system is the worst. That is the second fin I've lost off that board - and this time I glassed them on with some surfboard resin.

Anyway, it is a lot of fun - Jerry was onto something when he designed the first Shred Stixx. Good times!

did 14.5 mph behind my 211 and walzer board (nop rope)

Last summer we left a 70 foot rope on the tower, then towed a rider at 21. Once up to speed, we whipped him out into the flats. I'm guessing the rider was probably doing 30'ish...the fins hummed, it was going so fast.
