Wipeout

Yes that looks like a case of the forever right turn.  No wake to jump!  Definitely driver error... Unless it was your wife!  Then it is all your fault, and it was a great pull!

 

I had to teach my wife to look in the mirror to see if she was actually driving straight.  Great pulls every time now.

first pass of the day, just warming up and I ate it pretty hard. Ended up slightly concussed and I don't remember about 5 minutes of my life...

 

Did a chin first face slap almost exactly like yours late last summer.  $3500 later I'm still waiting for the bone to heal on the dental implant before I can stop looking (even more) like a toothless redneck.  Bought a mouthguard but juuust a bit too late.

I have a killer first move when I drive the tube.  It throws people off about 60% of the time - right out of the gate.  Welcome to MY world.....

 

That is a great first setup.  Does it only work on that type of tube?

We used to do some form of figure 8 then line up the waves to collect and turn the boat to have the tube hit the mix of large waves and bammmmm flying we went.

Looking back we had some major bails on the tubes.

A little fun at the expense of Peter of the TCU Wakeboard team.  I started driving for them 1/2 way thru the 2020 season after their Bu was destroyed in a storm.

Looks like Predator Bay.  I was at the World's there a few years back.  The jump crashes got so bad they had to postpone the event.  Some weird  winds.  Brutal.  (There's probably video of it somewhere).

I'm sure it would work with just about any tube.  But it's certainly easier to fall off the flat tubes.

My 15 year old son. Got right back up and went again afterward. I think he’s glad he can’t remember it. Haha. 
 

Making him a trace drawing of the zoomed in photo and having it screen printed on a t-shirt.
