seems like they should have flown the kite from the boat and tied it to the tube somehow....probably good that they weren't very successful |

No offense to these guys (my daughter knows some of them, says they’re great), but to me these seem a bit like a cross between “Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous” and “Jackass.” |

The guy in the editing room (Jackson Lebsack) is off the charts talented with how he envisions the scenarios and how he can stitch a story together way beyond his years. The "cast" are some of the nicest young men you'll ever meet but I would hate to see any of them get seriously hurt just for the sake of driving content, which can be so daunting to continually produce.
I'm sure their Mom & Dad's have hammered on them hard about safety but I give them serious credit for living large in the moment and for creating something unique that is hard to look away from......just please don't break your necks you inglorious SICKO bastards! |

The Sickos know how to have fun!
Technical advice: They need a way to steer the kite when attached to the tube. Maybe something similar to what paragliders use for controlling the steering.

There was a company call Wake Kite that tried to commercialize this product years ago:

It didn't work out.
I like Jackson, and especially liked him with J.O.B. but I find in his personal stuff and even more so when he's with the sickos that there is a something in the way he speaks that walks the line with coming off conceited.
Sick intro sequence for the series though. |
