wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.....i think some of those spills are gonna leave a mark...............welcome to the big d*@k club!!!!!!!!...............

Thats cool Bob. Thanks for the information on that cool boat . Do you know if these videos are from Lincoln? Do you know if there are any more pics of this boat? I looked at your boat in the diaries section . It is a very nice sharp looking boat. Are you going to make it to Green Lake this year ? I would like to see it close up . I noticed a wooden boat in the back ground , is that yours also?

Thanks Pat

Competing brands. The two guys who started air chair had a falling out. One then started Sky Ski. I'm not a foiler but from what I read, the Sky Ski is now the preferred brand amongst the hard core foilers. BKH

Most, if not all of the clips in the Sky Ski Crash video were shot at various fly-ins. Todd Jones is one of the regulars at the hydrofoil fly-ins and is a great promoter of the sport. He's also one heck of a rider. I've seen other pictures of his boat. One place would be at Monster Tower's web site.
As of right now, the Sky Ski and Air Chair are pretty close with the edge going to Sky Ski. However, there's a fantastic skier in florida by the name of Geno Yauchler that is producing his own Air Chair branded hydrofoil that is possibly the best on the market. I'm not sure though because I've never ridden his product. Otherwise, there are a few people out there (Todd Jones) that are producing aftermarket wings and struts that are pushing the Sky Ski and Air Chair to new levels. It has always been a great time to be into hydrofoiling, but right now it's better than ever.
Here's a VIDEO of my brother, my daughter and finally myself from this past Labor Day. It's not as spectacular and the crash video, but it sure was fun. The pictures in my diary are of my boat when it was still at the dealership. I wish the wooden boat was mine too, but I'm sorry to say, it is not.

Wow those contraptions are fun to watch.... I did say "watch" right???

No kidding Joel, I'm surprised those things haven't gone the way of the Kite tubes.

Mojo, Make sure you set up 2 chairs next to that cooler cause I'll be joining you on the shore.

The foils are great fun especially on those choppy day's, the best part is it's just like sitting on a barstool only while behind the boat, and like the barstool, don't overdo it and you won't fall too hard.

For all of you that think you're too old, too scared or just not tough enough, watch this video of 84 year old Mary Murphy. This lady has the right idea.

Bob,

I've been pulling your chain a little, they actually look like a nice smooth ride and a bit of fun. Looks like your whole family enjoys the heck out of it.

Any chance you'll make it to Green lake this year, I was hoping to get a look at your unique ski nautique and see you riding the foil this past summer.

Outstanding Idea... That's about 3-1/2 miles. Hell, GL I think gets rougher than ocean, so should be interesting hahaha....

no sh*t..........

Brian, thats a great article.

Bob ,hope to see you at GL. demonstrating your ability to ride these wickedly cool skis.

Thanks Pat
