Great Machines: Wake Up!

For an independent view of the Air Nautique’s allure for
wakeboarders, I turned to Todd Ristorcelli. The editor of WaterSki magazine had
no doubt that the boat I drove, the Air 226 Team, had the right stuff for
hard-core wakeboarders. “The 226 creates a wake with smooth, defined lips and
great double-ups that have a nice pro booter. The transition works well for
wake-to-wake maneuvers, and the landing zone is a comfortable size. Our testers
were blown away with how the Air handles full ballast. It’s a ride that makes
you truly appreciate the finer things in life.” (Click image to enlarge); function voidFunc() { } voidFunc();)
When pro boarder Necrason
rejoined us on deck, his praise was equally effusive. “The wake is a lot less
rampy than a lot of other boats. There’s less of a trough up to the wake, so
it’s easier to launch; you’re not cutting into a ditch.” If all of this lingo
sounds like a foreign language, then your children probably have yet to
introduce you to the sport. According to Gary Meloon, Correct Craft vice
president, the sooner that happens, the better—for both Air Nautique and your
family. “We love to build boats for this sport because the wakeboarding
lifestyle is a healthy lifestyle. Where else can you take the whole family for
four or five hours of high-quality, one-on-one time? No distractions, no TV or
video games. Just good, clean fun.” (Click image to enlarge)
