JB is a good follow. I also recommend Shaun Murray and David OC. All very entertaining, and inspiring.

It's been over a month since I've seen water that smooth... Gotta love a good butter slide!

Great video... For beginners trying some board slides try it first directly behind the boat going about 13 to 15mph get the feel of rotating and keeping the board from grabbing and edge. When you swing out wide going 21 mph and spin if the board grabs an edge the fall is violent. You can see in one video the rope gets slack because you speed up as you arch out so he’s probbably going 25 mph. Those falls ring your bell I have had riders get concussions on the water. It is fun riding on the flat butter water and does feel very different then when the water gets ripples.
