Otter boat

Last year i mounted a mast and ran supper ski planner boards, it was a awesome change from the mini inlines. They are fun but big boards are fun too. I have always heard otter boats are the best don't pull hard like twin boards, ride better and blah blah. I have been looking into them and noticed a ...
