Been skiing my whole life and now after finding this channel it’s time for this 44yr old Scotsman to give the wakeboarding a go this summer, a 31 yr old ski nautique should be perfect........shouldn’t it?? 😂
So cool! Love how you show that you can have an absolute awesome time on the water no matter what you are doing and you don’t have to always be landing the next biggest trick or whatever!
Hey Shaun, last week my 11 got up on the wakeboard for the first time. I watched your videos, used the techniques, and he popped right up. His grin was epic! His old man also did three jumps this weekend! Your work touches a lot of lives. My family is grateful to you!
30+ years ago, I was part of a group that attempted a similar ride, but did slalom - jump - barefoot. If memory serves me right, the only successful run was a guy who slalomed wrong-foot forward, jumped slalom, and tumbled up. This was a bunch of show skiers in Wisconsin camping out for a tournament on an off day. I remember we laughed so hard at each other's wipe outs! We did this behind a single-rig Hydrodyne. Good memories!
I highly doubt you remember this but roughly 12 years ago you were at the competition in Lake Andrea in Pleasant Prairie, WI. I loved going to this event and I was maybe 14 years old and didn’t know what to think about the world. Every wakeboarder there was more welcoming and kind than anyone would ever expect. The wake boarding community is beyond kind even at the professional level and it made me love the sport even more. Anyway, you (Shaun) were asking if anyone played Halo 2 online because you did at the time and you gave me your gamer tag and I was fortunate enough (even with my annoying, pre-pubescent voice) to actually play a couple of games with you. You were extremely kind and amazing to talk to and I truly respect that you took the time of day to do such a thing. Im sure you were and are insanely busy but I truly appreciate you taking the time to meet with your fans and even play a couple of games with me. Unfortunately, I have given up wake boarding due to work and family, but I still love watching the videos and keeping up with everything in that realm. You, Shaun, are the heart and soul of wake boarding and your calm demeanor and understanding is going to create the next generation of wakeboarders in the same sense Travis Pastrana has created the next generation of FMX. You truly are a legend and one of the best out there because of your drive and compassion. Keep doing what you’re doing and thank you very much for those stupid couple of games of Halo 2. You made me feel like a million bucks because I got to talk to one of my heros person to person and that is something I’ll never forget. I hope the wakeboarding community hasn’t and will never change from the way it was. Also a shout out to Parks Bonifay for doing everything he does. I had the fortunate chance of riding with him on Lily Lake up here in a Wisconsin. Also an amazing guy. But so is pretty much everyone else in this community. Thanks for everything Shaun and I hope you never change. You’re an amazing man.
I remember the event and honestly remember playing some games w you bc I didn't give out my gamer tag to too many people:) Oh the days of playing video games... Glad we got to hang and have some fun together. Thanks for the comment!
@@Shaun.Murray I remember the same experience in Wasaga beach Toronto, Circa 2004 I had an Xstar and some of the guys join me for some fun, was really great and I echo they where so chill and NIce guys, Scott Byerly also joined.
I could see nautique using this challenge as a good ad especially for the GS’s since they’re supposed to be great ski boats on top of being great wakeboard boats.
I think that adding a bit of barefooting to the end of the rotation would be a good finish. From the surfer, grab the rope and work your way back to the handle. Then sit on the surfer with your feet out in front and build speed. You need to be near the front so that it does not porpoise. Plant your feet you are footing!
Hey murray I have been watching you videos for awhile now and notice ever time I see your old boards in the background I never see one that I have it is the Murray 137 honeycomb it looks kinda like a dark sky blue purple gray and says hyperlite on the bottom with red and yellow
Sweet! Next time start on 2 drop one to a slalom, transfer to wakeboard maybe throw in a kneeboard to drop just so theres more equipment floating, then surf and sit down on the surfboard and barefoot off it. Fun videos. Cheers!
My friends from church took me wakesurfing a couple of weeks ago and I never could quite get up out of the water, maybe I was going about the wrong way, hahaha
Brad, cool to hear you went out w some friends from church, but bummer you didn't get up. Check this out, should help some but let me know how it goes ruclips.net/video/p4bbG7Ipjlg/видео.html
I have seen you barefoot so I guess your keeping that for the next round? Way to keep God mode in the back pocket in case someone ups the anti. It is easy to get up barefooting on either the wakeboard or wake surf board. Hell I've even got up off sitting on a ski. I can't stand deepwater starts I got no cheeks I guess cause I have a hard time getting over the crest of the wake. To me it feels like drowning lol
Barefooting may come into play on this one day... But for footing and getting over the wake, you're talking about footing yourself right? You doing it w a barefoot suit? And having barefoot shorts under that helps even more
If you get up from sitting on a board. I normally take off from sitting between the bindings of a wakeboard mainly because I hate deep water starts. I don't wear my suit all the time just board shorts and a vest. No tumble turns without though.
They probably turned around and grabed the boards in the water as they were passing them. Haha The skis and wakeboards float you don’t want another boat running them over on accident and effing up their boat
Next challenge idea: 2 people out at wakeboard distance behind the boat on surfboards at wakeboard speed Person #1 jumps wake to wake and kicks off his board raley style while person #2 jumps off his board while person #1 lands on said jumped off board Let's see it
i thought i was cool when i did this same thing but just the boat didn’t stopped i got back on the boat changed thing and jumped of while it’s still moving
Been skiing my whole life and now after finding this channel it’s time for this 44yr old Scotsman to give the wakeboarding a go this summer, a 31 yr old ski nautique should be perfect........shouldn’t it?? 😂
31 year old Nautique sounds more than perfect! It's perfecter! No, it's actually perfectest!
@@Shaun.Murray thanks for the reply mate, I’ll keep you posted on the progress once summer is here, can’t wait to get out there
My challenge is to a buy a boat that can pull me
Lmao
Same
A lot of people have that problem including me lol 😅😅🤣🤣😂😂
My challenge is to buy a boat
Lmao yeah
You are our leader. You took the challenge and succeeded. You are an inspiration and to all of us with a smile.
So cool! Love how you show that you can have an absolute awesome time on the water no matter what you are doing and you don’t have to always be landing the next biggest trick or whatever!
Keep it fun Andrew!
Where is the barefoot at the end?
Tytann Crew would have been cool to see an attempt
It's on my mind...
Go knee board, ski, wake board, wake surf, barefoot, I know it’s a really big ask but if you did that would be well beyond amazing
Some people are never satisfied 🙄
JVA R/wooooosh

Great feedback Stacy so thanks for sharing!
When you have so many sponsors that you forget what you are riding on
HA!

Jump skis?! Those bindings are usually crazy tight! Either way....LOVE IT!
No way! That was amazing. Kind of insane for a man over 20 years old. Think like a kid, act like a kid, experience joy like a kid.
At the cottage this summer we wanted to switch a skier from behind the seadoo too behind the boat! Took a lot of tries but we got it!!
Nice. Be careful. But nice move
Very impressive man, it was a nail biter towards the end but pulled it off. Kudos
Thanks Ave! Was a nail biter for me too but my hands were so tired from pulling the rope, I couldn't bite my nails:)
This reminds me of your old Wakeboarding game you had in the early 2000s... make another one! It was awesome!
That dude gets more air on a slalom ski than I do wakeboarding. Jk
Ryan Clayton me too!😂
Ryan Clayton lol same here
Lol
LOL JK...but seriously he does...
It's a pretty big wake Ryan;)
WAKE-TO-WAKE ON A SKI!
YEAH BOYS!!!!
You missed the air chair LOL ultimate part of the challenge
Now that would be a hard transfer.
You're even MORE of da man now, Shaun! That was insane!!!
That was dope. That takes a crazy amount of skill 🤙🤙
What a great way to mix it up, great video!

Way to go Shawn. I have to give some props to the driver. JD. Way to go guys.
Hahha that was so sick
David OC Your Turn!!
Lets go David do this for the lads and lassies
Completely agree with the other comments, send it Dave!
Dude! I gotta come over and play!!! Can't believe you pulled this off. The surfboard looked like it was getting heavy on you. :)
For real was getting arm pump after the rope pull in and then holding the board
GOD BLESS SHAUN MURRAY! 🙏
Good job looks so fun.
Love it Shaun, I'm gonna have to try this.
I could see nautique using this challenge as a good ad especially for the GS’s since they’re supposed to be great ski boats on top of being great wakeboard boats.
Well done!

You are so skilled - nice boards as well!
You da Man..., wish my dad was that cool!
Sweet! Now I’m wishing I was riding. Thanks Shaun.
Murray. That way amazing
Thanks Scotty
Awesome Shaun! Really need to try this myself! Maybe a slalom -> trickski -> wakeskate version 🤔 I'll make sure to get it on video too!
That was Awesome!!
Thanks Dome!
Nice work Shaun!
Props Shaun, what a fun challenge!
Cool video Shaun! I thought for sure you would do the bomb drop! Lol. 🤙🏄♂️
Now that was really cool Shaun!
A whole new meaning to 3 event water sports. Very cool!
Finally Subscribed after watching this video!
There ya go! Nice move!
Nice. It's all about having fun.
Straight talent!! Absolute legend right there.
You're amazing dude!!
Mad skills bro
That was fun. You're a madman
Time to add a foil to this challenge. Single ski swap would have been the sketchiest part of that.
Hey murray I have been watching you videos for awhile now and notice ever time I see your old boards in the background I never see one that I have it is the Murray 137 honeycomb it looks kinda like a dark sky blue purple gray and says hyperlite on the bottom with red and yellow
Haha!! This is sick buddy! Well executed!
Yes!!! that looked so hard...
So epic.... love it.
very good man! congrats!! i hope same day make the same
Incredible awesome well done
Unreal!!
That’s cool.
We like it.
So sick
That is impressive!!
Crazy skill man
Sweet! Next time start on 2 drop one to a slalom, transfer to wakeboard maybe throw in a kneeboard to drop just so theres more equipment floating, then surf and sit down on the surfboard and barefoot off it. Fun videos. Cheers!
Def have thought of some other fun ways to level up on this one
My friends from church took me wakesurfing a couple of weeks ago and I never could quite get up out of the water, maybe I was going about the wrong way, hahaha
Brad, cool to hear you went out w some friends from church, but bummer you didn't get up. Check this out, should help some but let me know how it goes ruclips.net/video/p4bbG7Ipjlg/видео.html
VERY NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Brian!
Great video! Add a wakeskate in there next time and you will cover all the sports!
Scott B plus kneeboarding
Plus barefoot
Plus sky ski
Plus a Trick Ski and Jumpers
siiick!
Trying to get to OWC soon again to try and get better!
Freakin awsome man👌
That is still and balance right there
Can u try doing that but start with surfboard then go wake bord then sky

Excellent, now just find a way to get back to slalom without stopping! haha
Bro that’s awsome!!!
Hahaha, what a great video!
Now try it backward!! That would be really cool!
Great~ it more have fun yeah🎉🎉
What type of boat do you have
Physiquest, check this vid out. Shows me exchanging my 2016 for a 2018. ruclips.net/video/RZ0GNS96co8/видео.html
That was dope
Try just straight up surfing on your wake board bindings on but wake just like you surf I have only seen one vid on that lets if you can do it
Now to find the ski and wakebaord.
Found em!
Slalom best and most difficult outta all three
You prefere to ride with or without helmet?
When riding park (cable), I ride w a helmet. Also when using Bb Talkin
@@Shaun.Murray but when you riding behind a boat?
@@barteks1243 not when riding behind boat. I'm not suggesting with or without is better but that's what I do.
@@Shaun.Murray when you start riding?
@@barteks1243 first started skiing at 8 years old, skurfing at 11. The skurfer is the grandfather of the wakeboard
I have seen you barefoot so I guess your keeping that for the next round? Way to keep God mode in the back pocket in case someone ups the anti. It is easy to get up barefooting on either the wakeboard or wake surf board. Hell I've even got up off sitting on a ski. I can't stand deepwater starts I got no cheeks I guess cause I have a hard time getting over the crest of the wake. To me it feels like drowning lol
Barefooting may come into play on this one day...
But for footing and getting over the wake, you're talking about footing yourself right? You doing it w a barefoot suit? And having barefoot shorts under that helps even more
If you get up from sitting on a board. I normally take off from sitting between the bindings of a wakeboard mainly because I hate deep water starts. I don't wear my suit all the time just board shorts and a vest. No tumble turns without though.
Is it ever sunny in these videos lol
Of course...sunny florida...wink:)
Shaun Murray haha for sure! Love the videos man.
@@racerdeboard Right on! Thanks for watching!
I’m worried about paying for 3 Sessions and loosing 2 boards, being how poor I am
They probably turned around and grabed the boards in the water as they were passing them. Haha The skis and wakeboards float you don’t want another boat running them over on accident and effing up their boat
Did u find ur ski and wakeboard
Hi Shaun
🙏💗
I hope you managed to get your ski and board back because from the 12 min fast play it looks like you just kept going 😬😬🤣🤣🧐🧐
You da man!!
Have you ever heard of Connie Edens
I don't think so
I wish my dad was this cool
My dad is this cool
I just order your life vest!!!
Next challenge idea: 2 people out at wakeboard distance behind the boat on surfboards at wakeboard speed
Person #1 jumps wake to wake and kicks off his board raley style while person #2 jumps off his board while person #1 lands on said jumped off board
Let's see it
Lucas Crawford then after he lands on the board he has to do a backflip and land on the board again
We have the exact same slalom ski 😂
My challenge is to clear the wake on my wakeboard my boat is a Yamaha sx190
You got this!
i thought i was cool when i did this same thing but just the boat didn’t stopped i got back on the boat changed thing and jumped of while it’s still moving
My challenge is a wake to wake on a sea doo wake!
No prob. you got this
I have the same wake surf board as you
凄い
If you waterski put a boot at the back for jumps
I wish I could wakesurf
What next??
I have an idea...
Killer!!!
