    Default Wakekite. Yeah baby!!

    If you want a really cool experience, you gotta try the Wakekite!

    Wanna soar 12 to 15 feet in the air going wake to wake, and then land like a feather??

    Just so happens, I have one for sale.

    See the classifieds.

    Ed, I thought they banned these from being used on lakes because people were getting killed on them?

    Travis, I think you may be thinking of the tubes that would fly? I haven't heard of a ban on these

    I can still see them for sale all over the place, so they have not been banned.

    The "flying tubes" however - are not to be found.

    For example, here is one from ebay:

    If you really want to fly through the air, look into a used sky ski for just a little more money.

    Fman,

    The kites are wayyyyyy different from the flying tubes - which have been banned.

    In fact, the safety of the kite is controlled by an observer in the boat.

    If it looks like there may be impending danger, the observer pulls on a safety release, which releases the tow rope from the the boat tower and the rider gently glides into the water.

    At any time, the rider can also release from the tow rope and handle (standard wakeboard rope handle).

    Check out the instruction manual on the website.
