if you practice with the power you learn with the power. most wouldnt be able to jump on and do it, but use that kind of equipment why not?most people couldnt handle a ski with that power. You can buy power, but you cant buy skill. The ski isnt going to flip itself. i will admit it gets boring to watch but in the same respect, how many times can you watch someone slash a wave? Same thing imo.

looks way too easy to be impressive is the problem, surf riding and destroying waves looks way cooler imo.:burnout:

every wave and every turn is different...surfing dosnt seem to be too boring to watch for the people that enjoy it...and all they are doing is "slashing" waves..yea watching someone do the same ugly strait legged style-less turn before the wave even breaks is pretty lame, but watching someone go oververticle on a critical section and airdropping off the lip is pretty cool to me...too bad not to many people can do it
I struggle with whether to respect the rider or the ski when I see this flat water end to end flippiness. Don't mean to dis the rider, but what are we really looking at in awe....the power or the skill??
That's how I feel
Ive been a surfer since I was very young. Surfing a wave is one of the best feelings in the world. doing it and seeing it on a jetski just doesnt have any flare imo. Yes i have seen some of the best surf riding on skis and it just doesnt impress me, im not making fun of people for doing it, im not saying its easy, and im not saying people shouldnt do it.; Im just saying it is painfully boring to watch imo. Just like its painfully boring for others to watch flatwater riding. Seems surf riders cant take any criticism but can sure make fun of the flatwater guys. People that know nothing about the sport will get wayyyy more excited about seeing a backflip then someone slashing or riding a wave on a ski.
Everybody is overlooking the fact that your timing has to be perfect for each consecutive flip. Hit the gas too soon, flop, too late, smack......
