I read somewhere that if the boat is going 10 mph there is something like 800 lbs of force of the water coming under the boat

Just pisses me off. I'll let you know if he responds.

I'm still waiting for a response.

BTW, in case anyone's interested, here's a link to the CDC study on CO poisoning dangers behind inboard ski boats.

I like how that guy jumped off and started while standing on the board. Pretty cool.

Don't hold your breath. I know a guy at that station. I'm going to see if I can get a response from him.

My wife also works at a competing station here, gonna see if they will do something that is a little more accurate.

A post over on Wakeworld is saying we ought to all write letters to the editor, starting here:

Check out that article I'd posted. It was in the Health and Fitness section of our local paper here in Austin, TX. That and the CDC study findings would be way more positive that all the crapola in the television report.

No offence to anyone past, present, or future Media people, but they will not let the facts get in the way of a good story You can write them letters till you are blue in the face. This station will not do a fallow up story that contradicts what they have already stated as truth. If they wanted facts or opinions to counter the statements of the Nurse or Wildlife officer, they would have gone looking for it, and found it.

I would venture to say that's close to accurate

Great article Dog. Don't you love how there is always tons of information from credible sources, but the news goes to some ER nurse that didn't appear to have any knowledge or experience with wakesurfing or wakesurfing accidents. I have forwarded that on to my wife, she has been skeptical of my desire to get FAE. I say it's a need and she thinks it's a want. You guys know what I'm talking about, my boat needs a prop, tower, speakers, lights, boards, skis, stripper pole (oops did I just say that's a need) see sometimes I get confused on what are needs


FAE is a need and thanks for help clarifying

As a former member of the local Media (in Charlotte NC for a time even) I would whole-heartedly agree.

That is a great report! Makes me even happier that I put one of those on my boat.

I know what you're talking about and I usually respond with, "Hey, I have needs, too, and if you really loved me, you'd start paying attention to them." While I haven't been sent to the spare room, she's never amused by this. My kids don't see the humor in it either.

I vote we just go on strike for a while. Who's up for a boating get together without all our needy family members?

I thinks it's the fact that you used one of THIER lines on her, that PO's her

Ya think? BTW, it's 'their', not 'thier', but who's spell checking these days anyways
