In my best Emily Litella voice: Wasn't wakeboarding ruled as torture and unconstitutional for marine life?

Thanks presently.

Just like wakeboarding but under water.

Still, it's certainly stretching the definition of "surfing". "Underwater wakeboarding" would definitely be more appropriate.


Except there's no wake being boarded on. More like "getting dragged along underwater". I don't think there's much marketing appeal in such a name.

Pretty cool idea. Simple, and looks pretty fun.

Interesting. I'm surprised no one's thought of it before (or if they have, it just failed to garner any attention).

Wakeboarding + Skateboarding = self-circumcision.

So, Knivesout, use TubeChop (or whatever you do to the embed) to focus on just the wakeboard and post again?

I'd upvote that.

I'll add a little to it. If the video had only been the last 15 seconds, I would not have duped it. But we spend 30 sec out of the 45 looking at the target of the other video, that's 66% of the video. Add onto that, that the last 33 % is wholly included in the first video as well.

Again, if it had been a cut of only the guy on the wakeboard, maybe with 3-4 seconds of filler around it, I would not have duped it, but as it is, dupe. Even though the tags and title and description pointed to the "second act", so to speak.

Do you follow my thinking? It's not just about them being longer/shorter, it's about a significant difference in the video.

It's a borderline case, certainly, but I'd say it's fairly on the side of dupe for certain. On the other side, we find the technologic video - some would say that it's clearly a dupe (looking in the comments), but I say no, because it essentially is a different piece of music: Radio cut vs. album version. Now, they are pretty close, and I'll agree that it's an even closer borderline case - had the song been only say 30 seconds longer, then it would get hard to justify, but it's a full 2 minutes longer - almost double the length. I'd say that as a music act, that's significant enough to leave both.

Thanks for the clarification, I have updated the title.

Not wakeboarding, wake surfing. My buddies and I used to do this all the time and surf close enough so that someone could pass you a beer.

Mother Russia is still living in the dark ages? Wow, I guess the cold war really did a number on their transportation funding. What modern society these days doesn't have a drainage system?

But yeah, the wakeboarder got my upvote. Holy crap I wish that happened here. I'd be doing that too!
