Chuck Patterson tows in with skies and poles????!
Some comments:
"Chuck Patterson
Here's a teaser shot by Rob Keith of one of my wave skiing rides. The whole thing was super humbling because I was not sure if the skis would glide and turn the way I had invisioned, but it was pretty insane how fast I could go making big GS turns just like snow skiing. Thanks Jason Star for the skis. Will have full story and more photos soon."

Riding waves on skis was pretty sick. I used ski poles to keep my balance and body position so it felt normal. I had to wear a thicker life vest to keep me floating because the ski boots felt like cement shoes. I was lucky not to take any wipe outs because I'm not sure the skis would have come off. It's great to dream a little and then put it to action. "
