Due to the speeds of large waves 25ft+ they are extremely
hard to paddle into so people use jet skis to tow them onto
the wave and once they have caught it they can let go of
the ski rope and surf it, surfing big waves is different to
surfing small waves because its apparently more like
snowboarding
due to the speeds riders are traveling at. I
think that with custom built skis being towed into a 25ft+
wave would be entirely possible and the feeling would be
similar to snow skiing on large clumsy skis, the conditions
would need to be ideal though as large waves tend to get a
bit of chop on the face wich would make it hard for the
rider.
There's a challenge for anyone who thinks they're up to it.

hell wont. |

dosn't anybody want to see tow in waterskiing? |
|
| |
water/tow/skiing....there you go. |
|

tow can play at that game Gulherme ; ) |
|

The boards they use for this have footstraps so they are
already like giant slalom waterskis. The dual waterski
effect would be worth trying. Gulherme is right, these
waves are more like mountains than waves, thus skiing
them would be most apropos. That was the point of the
painting, The Waves at Kanagawa, not recognizable by
name but most recognizable by pic. |
