lol right, there was one day in like early april - late march this year, when it's still wintery enough so there's a lot of wind where the little 2 mile lake I go to had like 3' swells, was a ton of fun. Otherwise it's flat as flat can be. Are all the great lakes like that? I might be making a trip to hang out with PowerRanger for a week or two this coming summer and that'd be sweet.

Backflip would be easier than the giant nose stab i would think. As long as you hit the wave good its coming around.

I pancaked a couple in the ocean and then lost interest (at that time I smashed some stuff and it co$t me!!)....I can't get past stabs/rolls....I just have so much fun riding that I have become a one trick pony...:dead1:

Yes, but depending on where you are, It's pretty rare...We get about 15-20 good wave days a year. The wind needs to be in the right direction.

Great video dj. Matt you were ripping it up with those stabs. Nice job to all. Gotta love the fall surf on the great lakes. Spring is great also but very cold water temps

 

[WILKEY]

Matt u need to tighten up and flip the damn thing mannnnn!

 

[MADMAT]

I'll go for some more in VB!

 

[WILKEY]

That's right!!!!!

 

[MADMAT]

oops...I meant Daytona! And then VB!

 

[WILKEY]

Right!!!!

if i come out there next summer, i will backflip if the conditions are good, and depending on the ski i am on.

Yes and no......the waves don't have nearly as steep of a face as most ocean waves. I have been flipping on Lake MI the last 3 weeks, but it's definitely a lot harder to find a good wave in our surf than it is out on the west coast.

 

[EvanKrefski]

i understand that 100%, i have attempted many flat water backflips, and if you can do that you can backflip on any wave...

 

[MADMAT]

And we get zero lip power compared to the ocean. They are fun but weak wind driven waves.

 

[djkorn1]

Yep, the water is softer. Your ski goes 'through' the waves instead of staying on top of it. It's almost like riding in deep mud compared to hard dirt. Salt water is just much more buoyant.

Excuses excuses excuses hahaahaha jus kiddin

 

[MADMAT]

A little motivation around here might help! (HINT TO CREW!!!!)

Sweet vid, nice work.

matt (white ski) has insane all or nothing stabs.

Matt

you are pretty much have enough height and rotation to pull some killer rolls on those stabs!
