it was explained to me once that a 200lb person at the end of a 65ft rope would be going 3 times as fast as the boat during a tight turn 
The boat that just passed you was a seadoooooooooooo.

man if your using anything less than a 60ft rope on a ringo then you are certifiable 
thats insane - doesnt matter what you weigh you could end up overtaking the boat

Of course you are right. We choked up on the rope just for this run and picture. Smoother water up close, I do not recommend anyone try this at home professonal nut on a closed course 
Man that water hurts at speed 
We have almost done 360 even with longer rope.

a spin out at about 25 mph with a tube rider is worth watching - with a bungee rope its even funnier - they just cant hang on
