Just one pass, right through the trench between the islands, the famous "gauntlet." You can go no faster than 20 mph. but you may choose any color or style of ski/kneeboard, etc. you like. You don't have to choose "baby seal black." You can go with bright green if you want, but I'm not sure I'd recommend that either.

$25 million. Anybody?

Could we do a test pass first with just the board and rope?

Refresh my memory - is that where great whites attack from below and breach the surface?

Yeah.I'd do that.

Not sure I'd want to see a test run of the ski.



This is off Seal Island.

Sure but only in the summer months when they are less active.

How much would you need to let someone cut off one of your fingers, no meds before.

This is what I would do:


Spend $10k to have some people chum about 5 miles away from seal island about 2-3 hours. Then ski through the gauntlet on another boat.

Nope. Prime months, and I'd have to check that day's solunar table to let you know what time you're allowed to go.

On a wakeboard during the summer and only in calm water, wouldn't hesitate. My only concern would be the time waiting in the water before the boat pulls me up.
