          30 years ago (gosh, that hurts to say) on Lake Powell we got a guy up on doubles behind a 35 ft houseboat with twin outboards. Took him about 100 yds or so.

                  I am on a cruise ship as I type this right now... Somewhere in the middle of the Caribbean on our way back to Florida from Mexico... I can literally see Cuba out my window...

                  I've been to the back and seen the wake... It's pretty nasty... I'll get a pic today and post tomorrow... We're doing about 28 MPH so we're going plenty fast... but it's pretty rough back there...

                      He was at 14 knots and the rope was 300' off the back and it wasnt like a huge fulll sized cruise ship

                        The myth was, "is it possible to be ski behind a cruise ship"

                        So they picked the guy who has been wakeboarding once in his life and can hardly get up to test the myth. The cruise ship got up to speed then they brought him in on another boat to grab the rope..

                              Thats crazy, theres not much wake behind a cruise ship! Not like we know it anyway. Its more like raging rapids when going white water rafting. I could only imagine how hard that would be. We went on a cruise this past spring and my son and I debated what or how bad it would be to try and wakeboard behind the ship as we watched the turbulant water behind it at the stern. "Not me!" I dont think 300' would be enough behind the Radiance of the Seas.. Good luck to them..............
                              I don't want to go to work, take me wake surfing instead!
