    This was amazing. It is so awesome seeing these legendary guys still out there showing they still got it!

    Absolutely loved these videos, like you Shaun, I grew up watching guys hot dog skiing, riding air chairs, and watching videos like “hot rockin feet” being from SK Canada going to Cypress Gardens in 1988 and watching the show, I was in love with water sports. Watching my Dad well into his mid 40’s barefoot with the handle in his mouth, and myself now being in my mid 40’s I understand how these sports keep us young, amazing to see older guys still rippin it, and still pushing their limits. ❤

    The sit ski thing looks so fun! 😂
    My neighbor at the lake rides his air chair every weekend. I can’t wait to show him this video! This was awesome. I’m definitely asking him to ride his air chair sometime.

    Just getting back into foiling after riding air chair back in the 90's. The foil tech has advanced so much, it's actually incredible.

    Hi Shaun, I'm sure that you have heard it many times before, but I used to fly with your dad on the 727. You were always a topic of discussion and the photos in his "brag book" of you were epic! And yeah, I might have even played your video game...Old school, indeed.

    • @Shaun.Murray
      @Shaun.Murray  ปีที่แล้ว

      Frito, though I've heard it before, it never gets old! My dad flew for TWA for many years, and some for American, and I've heard some good stories. He actually wrote about book about some true/funny pilot stories, which you can check it out here. lloydmurray.com/
      So thanks for watching and playing the game!

  • @Mrmissingmissing

    Three waterspouts legends right there! I've been blown away by each of you on different occasions. Tony at Long Beach Marie Stadium in SoCal , Mike on some random canal in West Palm near Jeremy Kovak's old house and Shaun at OWC.

    That is awesome I remember seeing one for the first time at Castaic Lake back in the late 80s. I was telling my dad that guy is sitting down and strapped to a ski. Craziest thing I ever saw and I believe Skurfing was wakeboarding back then. I also loved kneeboarding back then too. 👍

    • @Shaun.Murray
      @Shaun.Murray  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Castaic! Been there as well. Skurfed on Shasta for the first time at 11 years old.

    Good stuff I love the old-school stuff. I love the hair on the older gentleman. He is Still living the dream. Too bad you and I will never have that dream. Lol not a huge fan of the foil. I had one of the Fliteboard‘s for a while. it’s fun, but I prefer to be strapped in standing sideways until I die lol.

    So cool, I remember seeing the air chair in the mid nineties and thinking WTF, and to think where that lead to today’s hydrofoil’s is pretty cool. 🤘🤘Thanks Shaun for the history lesson.

    • @Shaun.Murray

    Shaun, have you ever done any trick skiing? Maybe an idea for a future video? Been on the water since I was 10 years old and now teaching my kids. Love your videos!

    The Air Chair was so epic in the early 90’s. It was futuristic with an element of mystery and completely different than anything in water sports. I wanted one sooooo bad but the price was insane. Thanks Shaun for the trip down memory lane. What’s next? Slalom tips by Carl Roberge?!
