Ideas on boarding outside of lakes(on land and in ponds)

nickdakoolkat

where im at its been a bit too cold and windy to go out on the boat so my brother and I went to this pond (in Lake Berryessa, Ca) used as a swimming hole and I had my brother pull me with an electric car(go cart) that goes like thirty... it was hella awesome I started off on the land and had him pull me like 20 feet into the pond then came all the way accrossed the pond, this was my first experience doing anything of the sort.....is there any kind of special name for stuff like this? does anyone have any ideas of other things to do similar to this?

Or you could get a pond, make a slider, and hit it behind a lil' boston whaler with 25hp....

Maestro, your pond is as big as my lake haha

It's not mine unfortunately, but it is sweet... and it's not that big actually, although it does look bigger in the pictures.

Maestro, how is the wake on your boston whaler

ive wakeboarded/wakeskated behind a 17 ft whaler before. wakeboarding i mostly hit this tiny crappy slider i made in like a half hour out of drift wood and a 4 inch piece of PVC and ollied bouys. the wake was fine for wakeskating though.

Umm, it's not mine, but it's pretty non-existent. We rode like a 25' line too, so it was super short...

I have a 69 whaler 13 foot and the wake is like a foot tall I think..its got like a 50 and it barely pulls up my friend and he weighs like 140. I only weigh like 110 so its really easy for me. they are fun little boats. if you put an 85 on a 13 then itll flip over. Shocked

ive seen it. I thought the guy was insane

-=OUTRAGE=-, you can land 540's behind a whaler? is the wake like knee high

well, i cant but my friend that i ride with can. Also when you go all summer at the same wake you learn how to make the best of it.

PS, isnt inland water sports in CT? we ride in the sound

For sure. I spent a week with a 15cm wake and now when I go behind an X-Star I kill it.
