they look kind of like wake skis i guess, but with alpine bindings, so i assume they're wearing normal boots? wonder how stable the liners would stay though

k. Just for U.

Couldn't figure out how to load from pictures so had to download and reload. How sick would it be to see someone cork 900 off of a wave? My imagination is just running wild right now.

the ski channel is steadily expanding to more households and is available on direct tv and dish network allowing any american the ability to gain access to this amazing VOD channel

but they just added dish network

look for comcast in the future though

I am shocked that they are using ski boots on big waves. What happens if you have to swim?

I actually saw Roner on Nitro Circus last year throwing backflips off waves towed on water skis by jetski. I tried to get some friends to rally for a water ski on wave session but it never happened. I would love to be in a barrel on skis. certainly possible.

I see where your coming from but do you actually surf? it would be no way possible on "water skis" exactly, you'd have to make something that was a cross between a surfboard and skis, just like a wake board wouldnt be big or boyuant enough to float with out being directly pulled by a jet ski etc neither would water skis. so i guess thats why its taken so long to find a company to have enough money to mess around and invest in stuff like this! way to go cody n doug!

Ah, it's so hard for me to sit on this, I've got pics (not of Douglas or Townsend) but of skiing in Hampton Beach, NH but I can't release the photos yet.
