crazy idea..way crazy

i was just thinking a few days ago, why couldnt we put really small hooks, on the top front of the board, maybe where the screws hold fins in..to hold the handle..maybe if bindings come loose or something, it could hold there while we tighten them up?

please please dont bash me if this was a bad idea, it was just some crazy thinking i had..

Hmm I wonder how hard it would be to control. You had better hope you don't fall when it's hooked up though. That would result in much draggage through the water.

yeah..that would be the only flaw i think..maybe it could be set up so it will let go if you fall

i have no idea?

Mobe789, i think it sounds unrealistic to actually put on your board for useful reasons whenever my bindings come loose i just put my arm thru the handle and tighten them with both hands. but i think this would be really fun/funny to try hahaha it would feel weird cutting with holding on.

i agree with Elevation, why not just put your arm throught the handle? you hear of guys hitting their heads on boards, think of what it would be like to catch an ear or eye in one of those hooks esp. when doing rolls and grabbing nose, or seatbelt. the hooks would have to be so big

Ill stick to fixin what I can while holding the handle on my arm and if not Ill stop for 30 seconds and get going again..

i still think it would be fun to try this slash the wake handless, although u may not have much control haha. a big hs cut outside the wake might pull ur nose in and whiplash the hell outa you Laughing

Theres a video of andrew adkinson on wakepics where hes standing on the board without being in the bindings, and has the handle looped around the front binding, funny stuff.

They do these on kneeboards. They are called aquatic hooks. For the time it would take to strap your bindings handling would be fine.

A friend of mine put it a hook on his wakeskate, but he had to be super-careful when hooking it or the board would shoot out from under him, then the board would stay attached to the hook & dive deep underwater like a huge fishing downrigger.

Needless to say it was an idea that didn't work...

Chris, would it be any different if you had a tower or did you guys have a tower?

i couldnt imagine a situation so desperate that one of us, a wakeboarder, would have to take parts from a KNEEBOARD!?!? and even more put them on a wakeboard
shameful.....just shameful Sad

go with Elevation's idea
