I'm building one.

[sloskimmer]

That looks like it could be so much fun getting towed into waves. How are you making one? Could you post your plans?

[idrathrbskimmin]

why don't you just buy a grinch
i don't know how much they are but that may be why you are not buying one

[new guy]

exactly, $2000 vs $500
posting plans = no.

[sloskimmer]

yeah, I think the grinches are a bit overpriced. It all seems pretty straight forward to make except for the remote on the handle to control the speed.

In the video are they using a grinch or a home made one?

[Jasen]

whats pulling it now? a 4wheel, boat pwc?

[Pack A Bowl]

as cool as that looks it isn't. go get a boat and wakeboard if you want to do that shit.

[new guy]

again $10,000 vs $500

plus, the variation of different skim/surf breaks will be more than entertaining. same boat wake all the time for $10,000, i think not.

[OtotheZ]

that looks sick

[Rockporter9]

as cool as that looks it isn't. go get a boat and wakeboard if you want to do that shit.

or just 1 step

[skimboarder]

what are you being pulled by

[jake]

its called a winch, and it's nothing new. wakeskaters have been using it since 2003.. there is the blackbox, grinch, distortion winch, and the pirate winch. hahah everyone here is flipping out about winches and a few months go everone on wakeskating.com was too. hhhah

[Teddy Hartford]

it would be alot cooler if the winch was situated in an anchored boat like 100 yards out and then you could get pulled in to huge waves. Kinda like the bungee skimonline video thing. Instead of just being pulled along the beach.

[Rockporter9]

it is for people who are too lazy to learn to skim/catch a liner

[Boyschoir]

winching is where its at with wakeskating. I think if you had it at a beach that was set up right it would be fun with a skim. Wakeskating you can go anywhere, big gaps, lake to lake gaps via rail, little damns. Check out www.omenskates.com go to propaganda look at some of the photos. There are some winching and some others I think you guys will like. Check out my boys ski... hhahahah thing is soooo dope. I love wakeskating behind that thing

[Pat-Juh]

just get a quad xD..
