More to come, much more, but here is some from a post on WW. I made a quick sneak peek to educate a few ignorant. ;-) Tongue in cheek, mostly.
These are 5 separate clips mashed into one, no editing, other than copy and paste into quicktime pro to put them into one video, no titles, and raw audio, no music.
Clip 1: This one the beginning of the day, using AIPTEK GVS HD camera with Raynox Wide Angle lens, camera mounted just rear of rear seat, and just above rub rail. James Walker showing some serious skill riding the regular side.
Clip 2: Chase Hazen on his own board, ripping it up. You will notice in this clip, the wake is doing something weird. We waited it down more than normal. If you set taps at 2+ it started to do this, it got steeper closer to the boat, and then like dimpled down in the middle, and of course the foam in the wake due to vent. Starting with clip 2, we are using different camera. Due to water riding high on boat, I comatosed 3 cameras. This was with a Kodak Zi8 camera with a .45 Wide angle lens, that distorts a bit on the edges, one of the reasons I prefer the aiptek and the perfect raynox lens.
Clip 3: Just like in clip 1, we put the taps down to 1-2 and that weird effect no wave is not there, looks more normal. Still chase, and a big water booger right in the middle of the lens.
Clip 4: This is goofy side, the thing is, we had taps above 2 at first, and the wake did the SAME EXACT Thing as on the regular side. On the goofy side, the camera is pointing a bit higher, but when Whitney ride in close, you can see the wake is at the same height. Whitney is about the same height as James. Weighs about 130.
Clip 5: RJ riding goofy, this is his first time on the flyboy, so getting used to it, not his best ride. RJ is between height of James and Chase, about 150 lbs.
Both James and Chase made it clear they liked the wake, had a lot of pop and push. James seem to really like it. Dennis also rode on both regular and goofy side, and felt each side had same push and characteristics. Dennis can chime in and confirm that, as he is the only one that rode both sides. Dennis?
Here is a picture, that shows in a pronounced way what I meant by that weird top dimple in the wake, when you put the taps higher than about 1.5 or so. It was the same on both sides.
And now for the video.
I am adding the side video I posted before. It was the same on both sides.
