 Posted: Sep 21, 2011 4:41 am Post subject: getting thirsty |
 |
|
I am doing a school project aimed towards the inconvenience of needing something to drink while participating in extreme water sports. Answering these questions would help us out a whole bunch. thankyou
This project would be more for other water sports but i'd like to see if wakeboarders would be interested in this.
During a long session, do you ever get thirsty?
Do you ever stop wakeboarding because you're tired and need a drink?
Would you be interested in a product that would make it so you wouldn't have to come in the boat for a drink? |

1. It's like any other sport, so yes I get thirsty.
2. I'll stop and take a break during a long set (over an hour) if I don't hydrate well beforehand.
3. Not really, breaks between riding are nice. |

1. Sets are usually 20-30 mins, too short period (for me at least) to get really thirsty.
2. Nope
3. Nope

1. yes i do get thirsty
2. when i fall, the boat has to come round to bring me the handle, i just ask whoever's in the boat to throw me my water bottle
3. no need for special device at all. plastic bottles float and they're disposable. |

Oh man, $40? I might pick one up now....
Also, timwruss, If you're suggesting a wakeboard beer helmet, I'm on board. |

I remember how innovative my classmates and I thought we were when we taped cardboard together to make an amazing pencil organizer

beer helmet adds weight to your head and affect your balance. you're pretty much limited to 2 tall cans. more importantly, if you fall you risk spillage... that's alcohol abuse and we can't have that.
how about a one way straw that runs along the rope to the handle, so you can sip on it while getting a pull? if the keg of beer's sat next to the rope attachment point, the height to negate the need to suck hard through a long straw.
just make it one-way somehow so lake water doesn't backwash into the straw.... |

+1 but replace disposable with recyclable
