A buddy just bought a winch. Was wondering what the specs are for a winch that can pull a rider?

jryoung, its a thingy with a cable that coils itself back up. Jarassic Park when "Numan from Seinfeld" is in the rain and goes over that little cliff and uses the winch to pull the truck back up on the road, but the dino spits on him.
Ive seen it work but Im not sure how they do it, you need alot of cable and it has to coil back up at very fast speeds. |

Scorched_Ice7, I hope your not serious, I know what a winch is, but I'm wondering how you are suppose to wakeboard with it.

| jryoung it is not a winch from a car it is like a winch but it has like a go cart engine on it to pull you. it's pretty much the coolest thing ever but it is more for wakeskating than wakeboarding. |
