got my 5 yr old on the board. He is hooked on surfing now.
Nothing better than glassy water in the morning. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...479031fc52.jpg

I'm with Chester on this one ... There's something very special about these Wisconsin lakes on summer mornings that seem especially chill :). Here's a shot from our neck of the North Woods this weekend:

4th of July is always crazy on the water. Launched at 2.30pm and a couple of the guys were crazy enough to want to wakeboard. It was pretty choppy with the breeze and lots of boat traffic
I got in a surf, but it was all I could do to stay on with the crazy rollers in some spots. Still fun though.
THen we got to downtown PDX and anchored up at the Waterfront blues festival. Struggled a little with teh box anchor in a muddy bottom, but FINALLY got it to hold fast the 3rd attempt. Had our stern tied up to a couple yachts. Front row seats for the fireworks.
Me and the girls.

Snuggled in with the big boats...

Fireworks launched from a barge on the other side of the river. Pretty much as good as it gets!

And my wife in the visor obviously COMPLETELY focused on boat driving while I'm surfing through rollers with crazy boat traffic. LOL

And always fun to party it up on the surfboard.

Using the wetsounds a link with the Malibu. Simple to use and, of course, sounded great. Few other pics from the 4th! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...6465eb0b30.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...3e72855954.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...ca464d49c7.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...4dea24a117.jpg

Happy 4th! Yes, I can magically make fireworks appear when I surf!

David....you gotta ditch those freebie registration numbers from Rinker's and order a metallic set from Domednumbers.com. They will look WAY better in the official Moomba Masque font!!
Maybe next summer. These are working just fine for now lol

Finally stepped up my Knee brace game. The CTI by Ossur is leaps and bounds better than the DME Junk that my orthopedic clinic usually deals with. I had to find a dealer, but it is a great piece of engineering and I think my ACL will be well protected now.

Had a great after work session on the boat. 90 degree air temp, 70 degree water and remarkably the wind never materialized. The boat launch parking lot really wasn't that full and we didn't see that many boats out playing.
And ended the night riding off into the Sunset.

Damn, that is a sweet looking wave!! I cannot get my Mojo wave to be anywhere near that long with that sort of height to it.
Due tell you setup please.

Went out for some Saturday morning fun. We didn't get to the launch until 9:30am and it wasn't quite smooth enough for me to be excited about wakeboarding. So I we just had a leisurely day and did some surfing.
Ended up with some fun pics...
The Wife's been sick, but that hasn't kept her off the surf board.

Finally got her a new CGA vest and retired the one she'd been using (that I'd bought used from a friend) to be a boat vest.

Having 70 degree water feels so good to us in the PNW.

Pretty happy with how this one turned out. Love how you can see the Doomswell on the bottom of the board and how the bright colors pop.

No need for the Bimini fabric when we've got 2 boards on the cargo Bimini and 2 boards on the overhead racks...

My friend took some time to do a fin comparison. He's over 200 pounds and rides a blunt nose Lakewakes Hooligan 5'0 that came with Futures F4 fins. He then tried the F3's that came on my wife's Sparkplug and then the F2's that came on my Nubstep. Finally he tried the John John Grom fins that I'm currently using. It's no surprise that he is now looking to buy a set of the John John Grom's. He said "it's like a new board". As far as the other fins, he is used to the F4's. And liked the F2's a little better. He didn't really like the F3's as he felt they were an in-between that didn't really for for him as well as the F2's or F4's. But the John John's crushed them all.
F2, F2, and F4

Nice, I bet I coasted by your Mojo a few weeks ago...docked over by the main ramp? We have only been there a few times. Mostly go to Salt Fork, as its closer, cleaner, deeper. Seemed like there were several shallow areas and the surf waved suffered. Maybe I need someone else to show me around ;)
We just got back from a week at Norris Lake, such a great time. Here are a few pics out of the hundreds my wife took, lol.

Ya. That's me. We have a seasonal spot there. The lake isn't that deep. The main area by the big island and before you go around the bEnd at the other end is the deepest in the ski area. We are down pretty much every weekend. We live in the Akron canton area. Where are you guys from?
