Anyone got a pic of their boat getting some air?
I've never seen a rib get air, but seen a couple of pics here and there off them airborne.
I've done it unintentionally a couple times, but never got a pic.
Please post em, if ya got em.

My all time favorite airborne sequence....
As I recall, as reported in RIB International after the race, the Fabio Buzzi 55 made a full rotation out of the water, landed, and went on to finish the race. Do not recall if the team won or not.

that's cool!
thx for posting.
i've gotten air a couple times, but not on purpose.
maybe i'm not doing it right, but it generally hurts like hell when i land, and rpms skyrocket.
guess i just need some practice.
