Sweeeeeetttt!!! How is the water? It's blistering hot today.

**EDIT** Just read it only got up to 89 today. Felt hotter.
Just this am it said it was going to be 93-95 this weekend now it says 87 on Sunday. Smooooth 91 on Saturday though. I bet Lake Lanier is going to look and feel like being out in the middle of the ocean during a Cat3. SUCKS.

I need to just suck it up and switch lakes huh? Or at least tow the boat up to the North end by Erik.

[wolfeman131]

new board?

Not for me. Yet.

LakeWakes showed up with a new grom for the girls. Weighs in at 3lb, 11oz, so super light and they rode it great! Younger one got around on 360's today and nearly rode them out.

Water was great!

That's that a great idea. Hook up with Erik.

[E4NASH]

Water was GLASS today...84 degrees according to Moomba Cruise...got some surfing in...I think I'm finally getting the hang of it.

Come on up Mark...anytime. Thunderman and I use the same storage place. Found that out today.

Did you guys meet? You guys both have sweet rides!

[E4NASH]

Thanks! Yours isn't too bad either.No, but I saw the his boat in there and thought it might be his so I messaged him and sure enough it was. He's one row over from me.

[ryan_8099]

Boat still being fixed, but got to enjoy water anyway at a cable park. It's the 7th system of its kind installed nationwide (according to their website, assuming 7th Sesitic 2.0) and 1st in the midwest (only cable park in Wisconsin) This was the first time trying cable and I must say, it was a lot of fun. However the future of this park isn't looking good, I guess this might be the last season it will be open due to lack of interest. Hope that doesn't happen and we are doing our part to give them some business. Here are a few pics.

Edit: According to the workers these systems only cost 32k, most of the cost apparently comes from digging a giant hole. Thinking I might just put one in my backyard someday :D

Took the boys out for a quick set this am. Buy 1pm the lake was infected and you could barely fart without another boater being able to hear ya. I hate holiday weekends

christina got up on the surfboard for the first time. this is about as close to the wake as she got though. Lol. She'll get it eventually. Little Ashton (5 mo. old) fell asleep holding his hat like that.:cool: He did great for his 2nd time on the boat.

[rc5695]

...Buy 1pm the lake was infected and you could barely fart without another boater being able to hear ya. I hate holiday weekends

I hear ya. My biggest problem is the yahoos at the ramps... I don't think a single person parked in the lines today, making the 1/2 full parking lot impossible for any more poeple to use :( At least on a lake with over 900 miles of shoreline it doesnt' get too crowded ;) Still gets rough though...

[rc5695]

Nice, Ryan - rope less!
yeah, I just get kinda bored going straight though, so I start messing around and end up falling or loosing my wave . Lol.

I will need some time with a couple of you "experts" to help me dial in my ballast to set my wake. Having the GPS for a speedo today was a HUGE help. I've got the weight, I just need to figure out where to put it and not. I'm not happy at all with my surfwake, and with 2 1100's, a 650, and a 400, I should be able to get more than a "just rideable" wave...

Here's a run I did tonight behind my Outback.. Slalom. 21mph. I've posted vids on here before, thout you might like to see. Disabled sence birth, 35 now.

[jedandsara]

Awesome man! Enjoyed the video. Props to ya!

[bzubke1]

looks like u were jumpin wake to wake!

[Grant M]

Smooth almost effortless, great run!

[04OUTBACK]

Awesome usaski. Looks like 21mph leaves a nice ramp for ya. I admire your drive and continued efforts.
My wife has lost use of her left side due to cancer/tumor. It kills her to go on boat and not wakeboard. She fought hard 3 years ago and rode switch on wakeboard for 2 summers. Between last year of treatments and fracturing pelvis this year she is too weak to try.

Keep at it!

[moombadaze]

usa--man thats awesome that your out hittin hard like that.

[jmvotto]

Mark, great run you make it look effortless.

[usaski1]

I think I'll have to show you what a wakeboard run looks like... I can do that to.. no flips or 3's, but surface slides,
180's, singe and double wake jumps.. and single and double wake 180's... And Im thinking of hitting the 5 foot ramp today. With the cam on my helmet.

[KSmith]

Impressive as usual Mark, great ride!

[rdlangston13]

It's pretty awesome how you straight up clear the wake on that ski!

Back out with the kids this afternoon and of course it was busy. Pics are from start of the day including a few of the battle wagon and my home break with slalom course...Hope everyone had a great Memorial Day

I don't have any riding pictures from this past weekend because I am always driving or my wife is driving for me but we always snap a few pictures of our little girl.

We went out both Saturday and Sunday and our daughter was AMAZING both days. She is so good on the boat and I am so thankful. It would break my heart if she didn't like it.

THe girl on 2 skis have never even tried skiing before, and got up first try!!! SHe also kneeboarded and got up on the surfboard. She's friend, like 13 or 14.

Ashton snoozing as usual.

Cam surfing. He did really well on the new board, although it is definitley too big for him.

Rachel and I surfing. She's 6.

I took Gabe surfing, much harder to get up than the older ones. Lol. He's 2.5

Oh, Naomi is with me in the previous post, and she's 4.

[Thunderman]

Those are great pics of you and your kids! How hard was it to get up with a grom on your lap?

146311463214633
Gabe sleeping, Me trying to surf with Isaiah (he's too big now...), and a bunch of kids on the tube. With 3 boys on it Sat., I have a way of launching it out of the hole, and got them to do a complete W2W on that huge thing!?!?

[rc5695]

Those are great pics of you and your kids! How hard was it to get up with a grom on your lap?
Thanks! Grom?? On the lap is easy. Just lay on your back with feet on the board like normal. They lay on their back between your legs, with their feet on the board just like yours, and their arms wrapped around the TOPS of your legs. Just get up like normal.

No Gabe, the little guy that is too little for that, is another story. I just have him hold on really tight around my neck and as SOON as I"m up I grab him. I usually get up in a squatting position, and then stand up after having an arm around the littler ones. I do this same thing with them wakeboarding, usually starting around 6 months. I didn't take Ashton yet (the littlest guy) since he didn't really seem interested, as he's only 5 months, but he was REAL intersted in teh tube at the end of the day, so I'll likely take him next time we go out.

[Ironcross25]

here are a few from yesterday. we didn't ride at all just cruised, went for a swim and ate some food. water was smashed out. This was the first time without any problems since buying the boat in march. I think I have her all dialed in now.146341463514636

It's not too hard. I did it with Caleb last year. He's too big this year and should start learning to do it solo now. I'm going to try and get Miller to go with me this weekend.

[bhowell]

No boat this weekend. Went to Vegas instead. The highlight of the trip was seeing Kaskade at the Marquee Pool at The Cosmopolitan.

That is AWESOME! A little small of a lake for $339k, but still killer because of the privacy and having your very own private lake. It says it's a waterski lake, do they allow wakeboarding/wakesurfing or is that frowned upon?

[Jet]

bzubke1 Is that the beach area north of the the rio vista bridge and the dam?? I think thats my old hangout before I moved to far north to come there every weekend. I miss the river so much. I have been going there since like 95'?? Keep a lookout for my 2-props I lost there. lol

[bzubke1]

I didn't see a bridge but we launched from hamm creek park and headed north, it took us about a 15-20 minute boat ride to get up there. I love that section of the river, it was pretty windy and we still got plenty of good water.

[wolff supra21v]

This is a lake my friends parents bought 200 acres and a 50 acre strip mine turned into a lake.
nice part one owner we can go when every we want bad is it is 2-1/2 hours away so it is a weekend lake for us.

[Jet]

Yep, thats it. Hamms Creek is where we put in or another 1/2 mile south of there is where the bridge is. How do you like the 100' cliffs. It is pretty down there isnt it. If you can get down there during the week M-F its unbelivable. Hope you had fun. Any fast boats down there still? Right there at the cliffs I had a buddy go by me at 105 mph it was pretty cool.

[bzubke1]

There really weren't any go fast boats out this weekend. I love going down there, you don't have to worry about your music because there are no houses and the cliffs are really cool. One of these years I want to lease a lot at ski ranch.

[Cigars n scotch]

Any more pics of this area and these cliffs you speak of?

[bzubke1]

I'm not really the picture taking type, I always plan on taking a bunch of pictures of the boat and I always forget once the action starts. I know my girlfriend took some pics and video i'll see if she got any of the cliffs in there.
