Those things are going to be a blast. I have a few at the shop plus one for me. Just waiting for warmer weather. They are pricey but they are very well made and in my opinion will be well worth the investment. I can't wait for that warmer water!!!!

How fast do you need to go to get it in the air? What size boat do you have?
How high did it go:lol:
Thanks Brian

We were running a 19ft open bow for our pull boat. At about 20 - 25 it would make short hops and at 25-30 it would actually lift off into the air for prolonged periods. Most riders went a max of 3-5 ft in the air, but the more aggressive riders who went into the 35-40mph range were pulling like 10 ft. Heck of a lot of fun!

Which lake did you see it on, it might have been us lol. We were cruising it on spring lake. Surprisingly we did not do nearly as bad on gas as we expected. Not much worse than pulling most other tubes.
