at the begining of that video (which is sick) what is the thing in the middle of the wake the guy is powersliding? How is that produced? Looks neat, and I've never seen that before so i was just wondering what it was.

MattStrykul, it appears that two boats are driving side by side at the same speed. He is riding the massive wake produced by the collision of the two wakes.

It does look pretty cool, and the vid is definitely one of my favorites.

It's called a "spine." I've never done it but it looks cool.

Wakebrad, so a spine is a butterslide on the joining of two wakes?

And that's an awesome video.
