Kinda lame. He can't really do anything for fear of losing the wake so basically he stood there and balanced for 4 hours at the expense of a crapton of gas. Those boats go through a crazy amount of gas when they are all ballasted up for wakesurfing.
I'm more impressed with the guy that surfed waves for over a day in California. Wasn't that on here a while ago?

| who had the record? the guy surfing? or was it a record for the people in the boat that could actually watch it for three hours with out throwing something at the guy. Wake surfing is a lot of fun, but not if you are just standing there not trying anything. |

Agreed but if you try stuff you risk losing the wake so I'm guessing he didn't.

| Only good thing about this video is Enonitos Verdes. Simultaneous world record set for cameraman staying awake longest to film boring surf video. |

I officially challenge you to go dam to dam (bonneville to the dalles) on a no wind day wake surfing. I doubt you'd make it past stevenson. being able to pump a wave for that long is impressive

So is watching paint dry. It really doesn't make it any less lame. |

It's not that hard to do. "Back in the day" we would drive two tourney boats side by side and surf the wake in-between. You start with a handle, then drop it. Kinda fun....for about 15 minutes. This is before bladders & towers were invented for boats. We use to bring lead weights to create the "perfect" wave. We did it at Crescent Bar because you had a long straight shot.
This where we use to hang out for a waterski/wakeboard adventure. Pretty fun. Great place to stay if you are seeing a concert at Gorge-George.
