    FCT Extension Pole (w/ sail.) Whadaya think?

    Does anyone have any experience with those crazy 10 ft extensions to the top of the FCT (with the Sail stabilizer built in)? I saw a picture with Shaun Murray, I think(?), riding behind one - seemed nuts! Is this a homemade job or an aftermarket setup? Thanks!

        Went to their website - seems crazy!! At least they have it demo'ed on a good wakeboard boat! Imagine that crazy thing, 1200 lbs of ballast and a Correct Craft Hull - Someone will herniate, hemorrhage or sink!

          Wonder how much longer your line will need to be to get you the same spot behind the boat...

                  it might be kind of cool if you could also use it as a sail.........nope, it's still retarded.
