Almost all inboard boat have "chine spray" which is the
spray that comes off the side of the boat. If
you do not have the
right set-up to your boom, this is especially aggravating when you
are learning
your starts or tumble turns.
The good news is that this problem can be eliminated by using the
correct boom for your boat along
with two boom extensions. Even
the Malibu Barefooter Response has a bad chine spray that can be
eliminated by using two boom extensions put together as in the pictures
below.
Why is this necessary? My whole instructional career has been spent teaching people to water ski, barefoot, and wakeboard WITHOUT Falling. In order to do this, I spend alot of time working the "sitting" positions ("Butt Glide" and "Three Point Position"). This is done around 20-25mph in barefooting and even slower for other types of skiing.
There is nothing more aggravating and demoralizing while they are learning than to have the spray off the side of the boat hitting you in the face! It is a simple problem to have with this solution.
Mike Seiple sometimes disagrees with me, but it is safe and much more comfortable and our booms are the only ones in the world strong enough to handle the critical extra length needed!
