First ride on a homemade pylon

[WakeUpCT]

Yeah its ghetto, but it gives good air.

We took some pictures with a disposable camera. Check them out at:

Be warned, the first picture includes some graffiti at the boat ramp We thought it was pretty funny.

Any comments?

what length line are you riding it looks like you are ten feet from the back of the boat.

why the Bubb Rubb r u wearing a helmet. good air tho

The pictures are taken from a tube which is pulled about 10-15ft in front of the boarder. Thats why the wake looks so crappy, you're seeing the wake from the tube. It also helps to make the air look bigger

We all wear helmets now because of boards hitting heads. There's nothing worse then ruining a good day by cutting it short to drag someone to the hospital for some stitches. Been there, done that. Plus we all have to make it back to work the next morning.

Our next step is to get a no-stretch line, then maybe so fat sacs.

Wow! thats a Phatty homeade pylon it looks like it works great.

WHOA you built your own homemade pylon and are filming from a tube before you got a no stretch rope? Wow, you've got your order a little mixed. No stretch rope is the first thing you buy after a wakeboard. It comes before bindings actually.

just bought a no stretch rope, haven't had a chance to use it yet. Is it normal for a no stretch rope to be really thin, like 1/8" because I was really suprised when a 75' rope showed up in a letter envelope and looks thinner than a brazillian thong.

[SB_Boarder]

yep, non stretch lines are thin

dstrucsean76_, yup. that's normal. I love my shoe string rope.
