Just perforated my ear drum surfing! Just a small perforation so im hoping it will heal well. Not a nice feeling at all! How did yours heal, has your hearing been affected much?
It looks stupid since I've now seen four videos of these and in each one the person landed upside down in the water. Maybe it's me, but I don't get the point of it. Looks lame.
@745917203views Primarily that's because the successful videos aren't terribly interesting to watch. It's loads of fun to be on this when you get it working correctly.
the reason it is so unstable is because you are too far back on it, you need to be leaning up over the clear part. By leaning over the front you can control it form going side to side. I can ride this thing for hoursand never come down if the lake was long enough.
@Jebrew - you did the right thing turning it in. Lambolc88 is mistaken, this design is inherently unstable and I'd be shocked if an actual college educated engineer signed off on this design or if they put any actual R&D money into this. If people wanted to fly behind a boat they should try paragliding. These kites are purposely unstable and life threatening at any speed that you can generate the lift needed to fly.
@wipenoutx Just 3 jet ski's...we don't have any boats. Also, if he'd flow the distance between the kite tube and the ski's, getting run over by a ski would have had little to no effect on his health.
Yes and no. It's no illegal in the sense that you're not going to be arrested or have it confiscated or anything. It's no longer allowed on lakes controlled by the ACOE.
There was a recall for them so anyone who keeps using them can't sue the company.
It takes a lot of facets to get these things to function well, and even then its dangerous. Expert Boater, Spotter, Boat, Length and Type of Rope, Kiter, and Wind conditions. This is not something to willy-nilly throw together and expect a great experience. It is Dangerous, but so are a ton of things that aren't near as exhilirating. Let 'em fly!!!!!
hell u dont need no expeert anything me and my buds take our tubes out there to kill eachother and we do. I agree with u on it being dangerous though :D. its a fuckin blast
Leedsmix- Son, you need to get out and live alittle. I see you've watched over 4K vids on YT since April. Good Lord Boy, come on over to Orlando, Fl and have some fun, you rich Leeds boys can afford it. You ain't light in the loafers are ya Son?
That thing has NO stability, I'm guessing because it's a cirle shaped tubed, and if you were using a spring line that helps the tension, that's why it kept going from side to side giving some slack, and jerking it back over and over. The Manta Rays look A LOT much more stable than the Wego Tube Kites. I guess because it's so much more wide.
my sisters friend had boyfriend that did this once,rope was too long and they wer drunk,he got 50 more feet in the and the thing flipped he went head first in the wateer fracturing his spine,he is now paralyzed for life...
I think it just felt weird because we had 3 or 4 more people ride the thing right after this video. I rode it while holding the camera (though I didn't get nearly as much air time as he did).
i had a similar situation...(not the crash but the eardrum) since i had a blistero n there, it broke and the doctor said she wasn't sure is the eardrum got ruptured or the blister did. So my dad was looking up ruptured eardrums, they don't actually hurt, the infection around them does, but not the actual eardrum. Your hearing will be slightly damaged though"
Wow he just lucking he didnt end up blowing his ear drum!!!! you couldnt get me to even tube on that kind of a tube cause im afraid of heights at least heights where i dont feel safe.
Im guessing there are so many injuries because you gotta go so fast to get that thing airborne the wake looked skinny so what was he doing 40? maybe more anyways i bet that shit hurt
We had one. It's called a kite tube...very dangerous, but fun if you don't get hurt. I prefer something less likely to break anything...check out the Sumo (you'll need the extra floatie thing for it if your tow line is low to the water (i.e. dragged by a jet ski).
Who the guy in the background, or the ski I was on? We were both off to the sides a good 20 ft. out...then again, with how quickly that thing rises and plummets, it could have launched him into us!
Nah, he was pretty far out to the side. At least as far as we were (I'm the camera man). Also, the grates on the impellers are pretty sturdy, you'd certainly get some awful damage getting run over, but not as bad as a boat.
Try to make a video that involves with falling from a boat or something. Then like youir friend will splash into the water. Maybe your friend later on will say it was like hitting concrete.
Sort of, you can have one, buy/sell them, but they're banned from most lakes...then again, so is alcohol, but try to find a boat that doesn't have people drinking beer and you'll have found an empty boat.
There is no "correct" way to use these tubes. They're dangerous. There is no way to channel the air stream to create stability. That's why when the Delta wing came along, they quit flying the old widowmaker flat kites at Cypress Gardens back in the 70's. No control=bad day at the lake.
It was hard enough getting it to plane at 25mph, the nose wasn't going to lift at that speed. By the time he's skipping along the water in the video we're doing almost 50.
I've heard the manta is a bit better, but there are some pretty wicked videos of awful crashes on that as well. Generally speaking it just seems like kite tubing is difficult and dangerous...which leaves it in the same realm as trial bikes and kite boarding for me...nice, but not my style.
I hope your friend's ear if doing better. I am very sorry he has 25% ear loss. What ear was it again? Does he ever get dizzy? I hope he is well buddy. What do you guys do for a living?
Yeah, he's doing better. We're heading out today to try out the towables we got from the recall of the kite tube. They look pretty entertaining...if anything interesting like this happens, I'll post :)
yeah im sure you guys were going the recommended speed limit of 25... its when people dont follow ALL of the safety tips that people get hurt. that and i probably wouldnt have gone out on a windy day like the one in this video
Well, I hope he learned his lesson. I am sorry he has 25% hearing loss. Water is friendly or deadly to all mankind. I use to work on the medical field. I would not recommend your friends try this again. Just a caring note to help out another human being.
I thought it was pretty funny. At least he wasn't laughing at him. While playing racketball, my buddy tore his ACL and I laughed at him for a while. He got up and whooped my tail in 3 games immediately afterwards (with the torn ACL!!!). The doctor couldn't understand how he did it and I was completely embarrased. I should have just offered a beer to ease the pain. ;)
Hmmm...I saw these things for the first time and thought, "this looks like a whole lot of fun." Then I noticed the thing had no dihedral, so it would not stay upright, and then I read about the lawsuits...and did not get one.
We tried to add a bit of stability by attaching two more ropes about 20 degrees out from the central lashing, but as you can see, it didn't do much. Just before he flips over, you can actually see all three ropes.
He says it's not as bad as it was, but things are still a bit muffled in that ear. Yeah, we're just waiting on some better options on the Wego trade-in before we get rid of it. It was a blast when you didn't get hurt though.
I ruptured my eardrum a guy slapped me in the ear and in the finish he had a broken nose and a bloody mouth I had a 38% hole in my left ear
