i think in all honesty, in those kind f conditions youve really got to pitty the observers, all there being told is "big one" evry 5 seconds, notknowing how to prepare themselves. i dread to think what was running through carls head, in some of chaos's photos. the second one in almost looks like a photo shop, theres not even any wake. rob must of been going some

Finally it all went well, no mistakes made by anyone going into corners!!!
Chaos no wake would be a good way to describe skiing behind Burty's, I would compare it to skiing behind a skate board!!!
Still better than skiing behind no boat! that is why I am rather pissed off about not having a Sequel yet, I think that after seeing the hull size and width of what Gav has managed to do the Sequel would have faired alot better than the Phantom.
The amount of slack rope as the boat was jumping around was often hard to deal with, and on one of the corners the rope would get dragged to the left under the swell!!!
Good fun tho skiing on rough water......much prefer it to the flat stuff, Cardiff bay next then up to Stone you going to watch?

Is that not more a case of driving technique? I can't imagine, that with virtually limitless power (for a 20) it wouldn't be possible to run the boat completely level and well loaded (ballast, where ever needed) to avoid such behaviour.
Or am I missing something. (I often do)

Hey what about the observers  , you wouldn't be anywhere without one of them, when you have a good one it makes the skiers life easier for sure, especially in the rough stuff

I doubt it.
If Burty isn't doing it right, he probably doesn't know he isn't doing it right, or he wouldn't be doing it wrong in the first place!
It's a judgement for the skier, or an observer (not that observer), not the driver.
anyway, lets not go down the 'free the weston one' route eh.
It was just a throw away comment based on Cye's remarks, and, all the pics I've seen, showing 'Apache' heading for the sky.
