Wash the Turkey: Wakeboarding Behind A Ferrari F50


Wash the Turkey: Wakeboarding Behind A Ferrari F50

It sounds like something out of the South, doesn’t it? Take one wakeboarder, a good measure of rope, and a vehicle to tow said wakeboarder from the roadway at speed. The first image you might get is a bunch of guys in the back of a well-beaten Chevy, right? Of course, but what if the tow vehicle is the bright yellow 513hp Ferrari F50 last seen fighting a red F50 in a tug-of-war, and the guy behind the wheel of the car is the mysterious driver behind YouTube’s TaxTheRich? I wonder how “Yeehaw!” sounds with a British accent. Actually, never mind, I don’t think I want to know.

The wakeboarder is Jorge Hill, and he obviously has no reservations about taking ahold of the handle and hanging on for dear life as the Ferrari readies itself along the road along the canal…or creek…or flooded ditch that Hill is boarding on. One might question his sanity at agreeing to the stunt at all, but I start to question his sanity once the driver dumps the Ferrari’s clutch at revs and takes off down the road. The water in the ditch looks fairly questionable, and because it’s Britain, certainly cold.

TaxTheRich say that this is their first collaboration with any outsiders, and they might be interested in doing more. What would you like to see next? And more importantly, with what car?
