Banshee Bungee and Water
In a post I wrote earlier this year, I stated that I was not sure if the Outlaw Slinger from Banshee Bungee was going to be able to pull me across the water. Well it did! One the flip side, we found a problem. It did not pull me fast enough to do anything that I would want to do. Now before I create a problem, I have always been told to solve the problem first, so I am going to take that route.
To solve the Banshee Bungee problem, I have came up with a few different solutions.
1. Buy the Federal Offense. This would give us twice the power, and is sure to get us across the water in order to hit a rail. Need more people to pull this thing back!
2. Get a bigger board. This would help get us on top of the water, and hopefully help create more speed.
3. Use a skim type board. A skim board would help us keep the speed because skim boards have less rocker than a traditional wakeboard. I believe the rocker that is designed into a wakeboard causes a lot more drag, and having less of this would defiantly help keep our speed to the rail.
4. Use a better starting platform. By using the grass as the starting point, I lost a lot of the initial pull that the bungee needs to get me going across the water. A nice plastic surface would have been perfect.
5. I could always loose 20-30 lbs, but I doubt that is going to happen.
So what do you think? Do you have any ideas on how we could make this work?
Either way, I put together a short video for all of you to enjoy. It was rainy and cold, dealing with the apartment manager was not fun, and thank you to my buddy Andrew for helping me out. We had a blast testing the Banshee Bungee out on the water, and I am determined to figure out how I can make this work. From there the possibilites are going to be endless. Enjoy!
