Very cool, although I'm not sure I'd do the multiple people at once trick....looked like a great way to get a board in the head, or a fin etc...

The bow on the one boat is freakin' high in the air! Guess they decided bow ballast doesn't work on their boat?

How about we up the dangerous/stupidity factor a couple times and give this a shot... Who needs a driver when you have Perfect Pass! Do not attempt this at home (even if you have a boat equiped with the wedge thingy, not a good idea).

Those are some cool videos.
Most of those are Centurions. Arguably the best surf boat 1 can get, as they invented the sport.

If any diehard waterskiers see this, like on the MasterCraft forum - they'll start freaking out about how the surfers (and tubers) keep messing up the entire lake for them - like they own the damn lake!

Honestly, how many people ski vs surf or wakeboard anymore?
Awesome idea whoever came up with the two boats. Thats a lotta gas though.

That's an awesome video. I had the chance to surf behind a Centurion a couple weeks back and had a blast doing it, very nice solid boats with a really nice clean wave. We had some issues keeping the ballast filled, but I think that was more how the system/plumbing was setup, but once we had the weight that we wanted in the boat it sure was fun!

In the end I keep telling myself that "we don't surf that much" to go for a boat like that. So no change for me away from a Yamaha, but it really got me thinking what I wanted to do to my boat to make it more fun when we do surf (like ballast, stereo, Perfect Pass, more boards, etc, etc, etc). :)
