The Best Way to Wakeboard Is Being Pulled by an Excavator

Just make sure you secure funding from Mountain Dew first.

If you're thinking about hitting the water now that the temperature is rising, don't settle for wakeboarding behind a boat. Instead, try a track hoe excavator with a crane arm that can whip you around on the surface of a lake. You might also want corporate sponsorship from Mountain Dew, like the people in the video below.

There's really not much to explain here. A bunch of people got their hands on an excavator and some expensive cameras. Then they got a bunch of nice aerial shots (using a remote-controlled helicopter) of intrepid thrill-seekers on wakeboards and other flotation devices being dragged in a circle by the excavator's arm. There's party music, and everyone smiles the way you do when you're holding a beer or soda on TV. It's just your average day on Utah Lake.
