The Inertia

The Sickos are a group of YouTubers who do dumb things, often surf related. This time, the dumb thing was surfing behind an RC boat. Hold on to your hats, purists, because it was wake surfing and it was on on a hydrofoil.

The device in question was a tiny remote control electric boat, designed to tow a surfer behind it. The gang hauled it out to Hood River, Oregon, to see what it could do, and the most surprising development was that it kind of worked.  Control issues with the RC boat plagued them throughout, but when it was working they got some pretty solid footage.

They finally brought the boat to an actual beach with an actual surfboard… and it shockingly kind of worked again. If they could just solve the issue of the RC unit periodically going rogue and attempting to kill everyone around it, we might have a new sport on our hands.
