We actually got an opportunity to ride in and drive one this past weekend. Phil from Standard was kind enough to bring one out to Rusty's lake and we used it for a chase boat while we took pics of Rusty, Kyle Rattray and Barrett Perlman.
The thing is an absolute blast. I hope it's not insulting to Phil when I say it's like a toy or a jet ski. The thing is so light and quick that we spent a ton of time just driving around like maniacs!
In fact, Rusty was sitting in the back while Kaesen was driving and he was getting whipped around pretty hard every time Kaesen would dive into a turn. So Rusty had an idea. He told Kaesen to do it again while he pulled off his shirt. Even though he was still wearing walk shorts, he got poised for a leap on the back seat and as soon as Kaesen whipped the boat around, Rusty took a leap and got jacked!! It was pretty funny to watch how far he flew. We spent the next 20 minutes taking turns with him and Kaesen seeing who could fly further off the back. It was pretty entertaining stuff!
Anyway, back to the boat. I think Phil is really onto something with these boats. Super light, super cheap, nice, clean interior and way more power than you need. We didn't have it sacked out, so I can't give you much feedback on the full wake, but someone did go for a ride and even with the unweighted wake they were throwing down some spins and inverts.
