i bought 2 what is the best way to anchor them down and do you put any water in them? i was thinking about filling a 5 gallon bucket w/ cement and putting some rebar or something in it to tie onto.. probably work some sorta rubber bungee strap from there up so the waves wont pull the weight off the ground... that's just my thoughts.. how have ya'll done it?

warlock, the more water you put in it the lower it is in the water to make it easier to ollie. you should put some water in it and then next time you ride take a little out and just keep pushing yourself

The thing is when you put water in it, it will weeble wable from the wake , current, and the anchor. I have one and it floats best empty. I tied a rope around the nozzle on one end and tight around the rim on the other. Good luck warlock.

warlock, the one that you ollied at my house has water in it. When you put some water in it it makes it alot more fun to do stuff over cause you can do more then just ollie it.
