Im just wondering how fast and what line length u go behind a pwc. Sometimes in videos it almost looks like they do some sort of double up for example in vol 6 sneak peek reed hansen does a varial double flip but he was so close any help would be great

you can still do double ups on jet ski..... first i would not take speed into accounting. very few boat/jetski are acurate speed unless your boat has been GPS calibrated..... but i mean if it would help i ride at 17 mph on my old yamaha and i ride at 60 feet for everything and 75 if wanna soley do inside out.. thats just me

if you only have a ski, go for it, no one is going to be bagging on your for it.

He's not hitting an insideout d-up (although they are fun), he is just hittin the startup booter. As the seadoo is getting on plane, it makes a forward facing deep cut in the water. Really fun to hit and launch tricks off of.

bigtwake, I ride at 75' behind the seadoo, but you can ride any length and you will have fun.

startup wake FTW

dalesk8, Not at all.

I've gone 3-4 good long sessions with 3 people everytime on one tank on my seadoo. I don't know the hours, but it was like forever.

WAKEMan1, Yes please.

The Captain, About how fast do you go.

bigtwake, I go a different speed than you will.

By all means, go the speed that you are most comfortable at, not what someone else rides at. Depending how big you are, try between 18-21 mph. Comfortable = good.

I am in a perdicament where our new 2007 sea doo GTI does not come with a tow-point. INstead, it comes with a tow ring..I was wondering if the tow pole accessorie is compatible with the GTI and not just the Seadoo wake and if it is worth purchasing..Otherwise, I'll just see if the dealership is able to install a tow point
