My friend wants to buy a ski, but doesnt want to get a stand up, he rode mine once for about 10 minutes, he was standing up and riding well for only that short time, But is set on getting a couch, because "Your stand up was to hard" How do I convince him, or do I just talk him into a blaster at least??? Theres know one else with in a hour that I know of who rides. So Im really trying to get a riding buddy.
I how do I get a friend not to buy a couch?

Let him get whatever he wants...at least he is someone else to ride with...eventually he will come around, once he gets board with the couch.

Let him ride what he wants to! get him on the water and let him ride your ski. If he likes it, he will migrate...if not, you still have someone to ride with!!!

They have to WANT to be saved, to truly be saved. 
LOL I need to forward this post to him;
You all made good points.... I think I need to email him some video's
Wish it was warmer out to get him on the water and riding more....

have him watch the freestylefest video from 2004 and the Jamboree video with the Warrant-Uncle Tom's Cabin track in the background... both can be found on www.superjett.com --> great videos---> should be able to convert just about anyone who is in-between with those videos...

Have your friend buy the biggest couch he can find.

I think someone in the group needs a couch. Since he is your only friend that rides let him have the couch... Who else is going to take all the chicks to the beach.

at least you will have a tow boat that isnt taking chances on wrecking his sh*t. lol nice set up wake as mentioned and after he gets tired of going fast in a straight line and doing a few doughnuts he'll be begging for a stand up...or at least sane people would.
