I am relatively new to riding behind a wakeboard boat and it is definitely great but I saw something on a wakeboarding video the other day and I was wondering how to do it. It was Shaun Murray and Danny Harf doing spine riding. They were going up and down both sides of a huge wave. Unfortunately it never showed the boat so you couldn't tell how fast the boat was going or how far their rope was behind the boat. Anyone know what I am talking about or how to do it.

This isn't an easy thing to do. It takes two experienced boat drivers and two boats. But since you asked...
Both boats need to be going the same speed. (Normal riding speed, normal rope length)
Both boats need to be going the same direction.
Both boats need to stay about 25 to 30 feet apart. (Which isn't legal in some states)
The resulting spine is created from the wakes of both boats combining.
You can also do this surfing, which creates a jynormous wave. -
I have a sick shot of Erich Schmaltz of Integrity doing a Blunt on a huge spine from the first Integrity ad in 2004...I will try & dig it up & post it.www.integrity-wake.comComment
