He is wake surfing, not wake boarding as the video title mentions. That part of the video was normal, being driverless not so much. I am sure someone was either sitting below the dash or off to the side just in case. That boat is only traveling 8-10mph to achieve that wake and ride. Wake surfing is low speed, low impact. Wakeboarding is twice that speed.
