Has anyone ever attempted to make a bowl with the wake of two boats running parallel to one another?
We met someone out on the water memorial weekend and started to give this a shot. We couldnt devote enough time to it because there were just too many people on the water.
We may give it another shot this weekend. I know alot of it will be trial and error but figured id throw it out there to see if anyone had any pointers.
I saw someone doing this on YouTube. Poor quality video
Gravity o8 and I (Jet) were talking about trying it that 1st night, but we forgot I guess. I've seen it done, but you better be a good to great surfer..Its HUGE!! Im sure Matt would have stepped up and tried it to the Celene Deon song. ha..ha..ha......
I gotta say, that does look pretty cool!
Let us know when you pull this off KG,
I'd love to give this a shot, and quite frankly, keep forgetting about it when I'm at the lake with other surf boats. From what i've read, the most important factor is the driver. It'll take 2 confident/experienced drivers to hold the lines close enough to eachother to make the best wave. I think the boats need to track within 10-12' of eachother in order to combine the sweet spots of the 2 boats.
For me.... I feel like I'm the best driver for the task, but then again..... I WANT TO BE THE SURFER!!! :D:D
I'm sure I'll be the one driving for the first bit. Until I can be sure that it can be done and I can give some advice. But I want to surf t as well.
we have tried and been some what able to do it but not the best cause the other boat with me does not even come close to my supra wake so I think I need another WB boat to help it out.
No show on the other boat i was planning to try it with this weekend so i didnt get to try it out. Maybe next time. If anyone tries it, though, post up some pics and advice.
Here's another video I found;

I'm hoping to remember to try it this weekend, but like 01launch's problem, the other boat doesn't have near the same wave as my Supra. Although, I suppose the height of the wave doesn't matter as much as the length of the pocket to pull this off.
