That wouldn't be a spoof, it would be a miracle!

PS. I think it's real too.

The Formula pic looks genuine - but that thing must have been doing over a ton to have travelled so far.

I think it has stock 330's in which would make it's top speed a snifter over 60.

The spray is from a boat going from left to right, with a plastered pic of this boat going from right to left. See the spray pattern.

I´ve come to a conclusion - it ain´t real! The lighting and all that is very convincing - but to me the heavier wash on the right doesn´t match what would precede such a launch. Looks kinda like the wake from a much heavier boat.

Mmm. Many doubting Thomas'.
I would be astounded if the pic is not real.
Here is the original of the shot

Also, here is another shot, getting air again:

I agree it's a fkkn long jump, especially if it only has 330 pig iron in it!

However, I reckon it's real, can't imagine where I'd start if I were to try and 'make' it.

unless it started as a real pic, with a shorter jump, and mr Formula owner 'moved' his boat to look like a longer jump....mebbe
