with temps in the 90's and wind at 15 to 20 (there were guys kiteboarding in our river!), we got a crew together to do a different type of boating. Floating, cruising, swimming, BBQ'd lamb tacos...

Darter - Where did this take place? Who supplied the adaptive gear? How did the kids know about the opportunity to get on the water? Tell us a little about the day. This is wonderful. Bet everyone had a great time! - DeerfieldThis was in Burlington, WI on Brown's Lake. It's put on by members of the Aquaducks Ski Club as a memorial to one of their late skiers. They do free skiing lessons twice a week all summer, and 4 times a year they do adaptive skiing. Seems like they have connections with special needs services and ministries in the area. The day we were there they had a group come in the morning and another in the afternoon.

It was pretty awesome to see all these people getting out on the lake. Some were experienced and brought their own slalom sit ski. We had to train to be side skiers... Riding on those giant show skis was quite an adjustment, but really helped for support. The adaptive ski they used was called a Joski (the one pictured). The tow boat was a late sixties Correct Craft Mustang that was followed by a Hydrodyne chase boat. Apparently being an adaptive ski spotter also requires special training too as I was only allowed to spot for the regular skiers.

There were skiers of all ages. The youngest looked like maybe 4. She had a Great Dane service dog that pulled her wheelchair around. When she skied, she was so little that they had to pad the seat with an old wetsuit duct taped on so she'd fit!

Really was a great way to spend the afternoon... Might head out again next time they do it.

Definitely tows harder than the MB--I have a cabin and a hoist so its not a recurring issue. But I did tow it 150 miles to my lake and all in all it wasn't horrific (except for the fuel economy).

A big, heavy, solid boat. 100% in love.

http://i.imgur.com/qdCBkU5.jpg

http://i.imgur.com/jfjRcVs.jpg

Had a friend on our boat. Never been wakeboarding or surfing. Had about a 1/2 hour session. a couple pulls to get up. a few pulls of line riding, and ended with a long, controlled freeride. That's how it's done for sure!

The biggest thing he did was actually listen to all the coaching I gave him and did exactly what I told him to do. I was impressed. (that said, if I would have had the right board, the right wave, and someone to coach me through exactly what to do; I would have been freeriding on day one also. But with a dirty direct drive wake I had to be content with rope slacking to start when my surfing adventures began).

All goes to say that it's really not that hard to get up to speed surfing.

Is that your own space or do you rent that somewhere in Conroe? Price?

Broke Pilot
08-12-2017, 08:11 PM
It's at Tall Pines here in Conroe. About 5 minutes from our house, another 5 to the water!
Price... probly don't wanna know. Lol the building I just came out of was $175/mo, 14'x35'. We use it as storage for holiday crap since the new house doesn't have much attic space.
The new one is $440/mo, but I'm tired of moving the boat out when I do a lift on a truck or put a blower on a car. It's a little expensive but the security is worth it. Each door is wired to its own security system. When you put in your code to open the gate it disarms your door. Rearms when you put your code in to leave.
Now I've got room for my toys and customer cars/trucks. I'm about to start a build on an '89 Camaro IROC Z in September as a toy for myself. Gonna be a wicked 8sec street sleeper hopefully.

with temps in the 90's and wind at 15 to 20 (there were guys kiteboarding in our river!), we got a crew together to do a different type of boating. Floating, cruising, swimming, BBQ'd lamb tacos...

I really think you should throw a suck-gate and some weight on that big barge and see how she surfs!

We've actually talked about it. it's got dual engines and trim tabs on each side... He just doesn't want to have to stop for fallen riders, so he'd want a chase boat (waverunner?)

I wanna try it, but we gotta play with it and I'm only out on his boat a few times a summer.

Made it out Saturday and Sunday. Had a Good time with good friends. My oldest daughter is finally happy with the surf wave on our boat! The last two seasons we have had the opportunity to surf my friends MB Tomcat that is dialed in perfectly, and has a collection of very nice boards we have gotten to try out. So now she had a frame of reference and this is what she compared our surf wave to. And the only board we have is a hyperlite broadcast from like 2013. The suck gate has completely changed our wave. It's way more consistent and repeatable and less temperamental on speed than the ghetto gate I was running. There is tons of push and this broadcast works like a completely different board. Here's some from this weekend. One of me on my buddy's MB and Doomswell, and my oldest daughter was surfing and when she fell her arm got into the rope. Watched the video a few times and can't see it happening, and one from my xlv. 261292613026131

we tried surfing a buddy's dads boat in wisconsin a few years ago. its a 45ft twin diesel engine yacht with twin tabs and found that the second curl back offered the best potential to surf but it took 2 wakeboard ropes tied together to get back there. hard to get up and took quite a few minutes for that barge to turn around and pick up a downed rider but was fun to try. I can't even imagine the gas he burned for that few hours of enjoyment...
his swimdeck was hydraulic and had the spot to store a "wavehumper" as he called it but he didn't have it on that day. probably would have saved a ton of gas in turns :)

Son just turned 6 on Sat.
Took some coaxing from us to get him to ride with us, but once he did he was all smiles.
Has been riding double with me or wife since he was 4. (15-18 mph).

I was super proud when everyone on shore or on boats was yelling and honking to him as they have seen him ride before...

Saturday was 3 wide.

Tuesday, another newbie up on the surf board. No pics (gasp, but haven't gotten anything off the gopro), but a fun night.

I could handle it being longer, but it's still quite a fun wave to play on...

It finally smoothed out. But can't complain too much. We were the ONLY boat that was playing. A few runabouts cruising around, but we're getting to that time of year when we have the river to ourselves...

I don't get more than a half dozen runs in per season anymore, so I'm way out of shape and form, but still happy to get out there when the water is calm.

Chester,

I think I recognize those clouds as we were looking at the same blue sky yesterday :). Our place is just outside of Eagle River and we made sure to take full advantage of the beautiful day yesterday for a great surf session and a fabulous cocktail cruise as I think the rest of the weekend is gonna be pretty dreary ....

Went to Lake Billy Chinook in Central Oregon to help out with a church's houseboat retreat. Had a blast and got some newbies up on wakeboard and wakesurf. We only had 3 boats to service 4 houseboats full of young adults. (my XLV, a Direct drive malibu response, and a big Maxim cuddy cabin I/O). Obviously the Maxim was on Tube duty. I actually wrote "No Tubing, boardsports only" on my signup sheet! And we had a blast. And I loved our floating barge with the boat slips. Such an awesome setup.

All hitched up and ready to go:

We actually setup a "bed" in the boat. a 13" tall twin sized air matteress fits perfectly in the opening of the floor space on my XLV. A portable inverter and the built in inflator worked fine. put the snap cover on and had our own little "tent" with a king sized bed underneath. It was pretty cool.
