Or better yet, how about some waterproof amplifiers?

You are a mean Dog!!!!! Trying to get Dom to chase his tail around is circles to find something like this.

that wake rocks

props man!

Check out this wake.............

Don't get me wrong, that is definitely a nice clean, smooth wake and he has it dialed in, but as Dom points out, the camera angle is accentuating the picture a little as shown in the shots below. When you shoot with the camera at a low angle, it makes it appear bigger. My neighbor has the BU 247, they are big, nice boats - living rooms on water!

We almost bought the bu 247. It is true, it has a bigger cockpit, but it is done by shoving the windshield forward, to the point the bow is tiny. You can maybe fit a couple kids up there. The mastercraft was the opposite. The X45 had a huge bow, and sacrificed the cockpit. We fealt the Tige had the best balance.

I have never worn a helmet while surfing.

Those are some nice surf waves you have going there.

I recommend getting a helmet with straps over the ear cavity. First time out this year I popped my ear drum being stupid. I wish I could say I was going for a whirly-bird 1080 or something sick but I was just playing around on flat water and went splat! Side of my head hit the water just right. I hate to see it happen to somebody else.

Not sure how you could pop your eardrum surfing...but ok.

Anything is possible.

Probably not surfing but I don't see any point in getting a separate helmet for riding. Hate to see someone else injured.

I didn't think of wearing a helmet while surfing, but this past weekend my wife was riding and just a freak situation where she fell off, the board went straight down (tip upward), popped out of the water about 2 feet, and came down on the top of her head. Luckily it didn't pop her in the face.

My kids wear helmets surfing and wakeboarding. Its not worth the risk, and they are used to it, second nature.

There are other times, when they have come close to hitting the swimstep with their heads.
