I have a 2006 Centurion Elite V. Ride behind newer Axis and Malibus quite frequently as well, though. ---

I miss having the wakeboard, just never had a tower to ride behind. Only had the opportunity once to do that behind a nice boat with a tower and a killer wake. ---------- Post added at 09:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:15 AM ---------- Anyone ever try this before? Such a blast!!! Difficult for many to learn and balance but when you get it, you glide in the water like nothing, its a whole new excitement on the water. ![http://www.sports-sante.com/images/sky-ski/photo-profil/sky-ski.jpg](http://www.sports-sante.com/images/sky-ski/photo-profil/sky-ski.jpg) ![http://www.precisionmarine.com.au/site_files/232/2008SkySkiPro%201.jpg](http://www.precisionmarine.com.au/site_files/232/2008SkySkiPro%201.jpg) ---

I rode with a dude once that competes at a pro level on the hydro foil. He jumps so high that he is usually a few feet above the tower on the boat. It’s unreal. Those things also cost something like $6,000 on the low-side. ---

It’s unreal. > > Those things also cost something like $6,000 on the low-side. they have significantly dropped in price now. For a good name, yes… I could easily see that price. I looked and found a cheap quality one for about $800-$1000 iirc. They are fun though! Could get painful learning as well. Just moving your arms a little send you face first into the water. lol ---

I always wanted a hydrofoil but the cost and storage issues on the boat turned me off. It’s perfect if you have a waterfront cottage or home so you can store your towables on shore, not so great when you have to take everything with you for a day on the water in the boat. ---

yeah most of the guys have special tower racks designed to hold the foil. I know you don’t have a tower JayS, so I could see that being really cumbersome. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/any-waterskiers-out-there/231863.md?page=1)
