Not at all I was zipping around a lot yesterday and I drove 35mph easily with rpm's at like 3700. I could only do 43 with my stock 13x12 prop so no big loss.
That is a long ride lol!![]()

Well last night was pretty epic is was about 90 and sunny all afternoon with almost NO wind. Super glassy. We only wakeboarded and the wake was huge! Landed my hs backroll twice. Grabs and 180s 5' into the flats, big 360 into the flats. Spent a lot of energy trying that roll. Then I was tired and tried tantrum and got laid out a couple times ouch.
Buddy landed first wake to wake (then 5 more times!) and 4 one wake ts 180s. Fun!
Lots more pics are coming soon!

90 Conbrio
forgot to ask...when do I learn to drive double ups???
Family shows up on friday, full day sesh's then......
Wow my 420 post.....ahhh the good ole dayzz.......
90 Conbrio
Maple the good ol days are here to stay
Drivin double ups: Always turn right (that's already the way you pick up downed riders, tho, RIGHT?). Make a VERY wide turn and keep the speed up at 22mph. Hit your old rollers at straight-on perpindicular.
If you want to keep your water more free of rollers and also continue driving on your original path, it's pretty easy, just make a little pre-turn to the right about 45degrees. Drive straight for 3-5 seconds, then crank the double up. After you finish the d-up, make another little 45 degree turn t the right and you are back on your path.
