So I guess I get to start the July thread. Zandar was off on some adventure with his little girlfriend, so Zayla had the boat to herself for the weekend. Zayla is 5 and started kneeboarding last year. She is going to try to surpass her brother on the wakeboard by the time she is 6. Unfortunately I only had the GoPro on the tower so the footage is not zoomed in at all.

So, YouTube blocked the video due to a copyright on the song. I can't figure out how to delete the post, so I'll just repeat it with a (hopefully) non copyrighted video as soon as i can
So, I had to delete the audio. Please play The Beatles' "Ticket To Ride" along with this video!

Hanging down on a private lake in Alabama. We took off in our motor home and the day we left we sold our Washington state home in 3 hours, asking price, no contigency and no inspection repairs. We are heading to the Branson/Springfield area tomorrow and getting with a builder. We plan to checkout Table Rock lake by boat one of the days. It's been a fun trip and kept ourselves isolated most of the time. The private lake helped.
congrats on the move and quick house sale zabooda.....
Yes - congrats! We are heading east tomorrow for 5 days. Was going to offer a pull behind the MobV if you're around but clearly that's not the case. The wind forecast is not in our favor by the looks of it...
Took my son in law and friends out into downtown Portland on Sunday. Crazy traffic on a narrow river (Willamette) with kayaks, SUPs, and other boats on top of each other all afternoon. Didn't even try to pull out a board. Just floated with a few cold ones, tunes and watched the chaos unfold.

New to the forum, left my Supra at home last week and headed to Lake Norman, NC to do some surfing behind my buddy’s G25.

Finally got the old man out on the boat and on top of the water and not flushing his sinuses with the lake haha. With each person I teach it becomes easier and easier.... way last double digits... not easy work, but fun work overall :)

Captain's Log Day 1
So far the trip is not starting out too well. This is the third year in a row we've had a blow out on this #@$%& stretch of road. The next day was spent raising hell at the tire shop, buying two new heavily discounted tires and a spare. Luckily I have cheap labor.

Day 1 continued - finally setup at camp and on the water for a night run. Love it out here.

Day 2 was killed by 20mph hour winds resulting in a shortage of beer, vodka and later whiskey.
Day 3
Everyone just seems to get along on the water. My 6'5" baby boy and his little big sister.

Day 4
Last runs before the wind is going to pick up. My kids like to ride surfboards on the long rope at about 17-18mph.

End of the day we got off the water and into the marina in time before the nasty winds returned but not everyone did. Saw the sheriff pulling in a swamped sailboat. Beautiful little wooden boat. We motored over and met them at the dock, then spent the next hour using my handheld ballast pump to help get his boat above the water so he could get it onto his trailer. I felt bad for the poor old guy and his son, bad enough I couldn't take any pictures to add insult to their injury... Always remember, No man left behind.
looks like a good trip despite some setbacks. you and kids will talk about those for years to come....
and that boat interior has to go down as the nicest early 2000's moomba on the site :) love the rear bench upholstery....
I’ll say it again, i wish there was a proper yellow option on the moomba color choices
I had to work last Saturday so my wife invited a couple girlfriends to the lake for the day. She’s been hesitant to take the boat out without me but I’ve been encouraging her because she is more competent at boating/driving than many men. I told her if she can’t get it back on the lift no worries, just tie up to the side of the dock and I’ll put it on the lift when I get there after work.
Well, she finally did it (and got it back on the lift her 2nd try with her girlfriends spotting her)!!! She was very proud of herself and I’m proud of her. Here’s a pic of the captain that her friend sent me just after getting on the lift:

Sunday we went out for an evening cruise and I had the opportunity to earn some good boater karma (note: not a beer gut, there’s finally a bun in the oven after 2 years of trying!!!):

Z28ke - Congrats!!! 2 years of trying can get stressful. Cool to hear she took the boat out. I’m not a grey and black boat guy, but I do really like your interior? How do the seats do in warmer/sun? Do they get hot?
@ Z28ke...congrats! so exciting!
Water was crap this morning at wakeboard camp so the kids surfed. Zandar has been waiting for this opportunity.

We had a cube made with the wakeboard camp's logo over the winter.
Thank you! They get hot enough to light a cigarette off them lol. Totally worth it to me for the time I save vs cleaning white vinyl constantly.Quote:

Solid work by your wife and congrats on the pregnancy! I was so proud of my wife a couple weeks ago at a busy ramp when she backed the trailer in like a champ. We were out of there in 20 seconds and she stops halfway up to politely chew out a group that was wiping down on the ramp. Fast forward to this past weekend and she was all over the place like a complete rookie.Quote:

We got a weekend to ourselves at the lake house. Kids thought it would be miserable but loved the extra time in the boat.
This one dropped the rope for the first time... (hasn’t surfed much cause I can’t get her off her wakeboard)

I don't think I've seen your boat in a post before. That thing looks pretty sweet. Really like that blue. Reminds me of the blue from the new PWT SA.Quote:

Boat looks great Larry!
Never too young to drive a boat. I started at 6 years. Zandar at 10 years can back our Max into our slip. Here he is driving our neighbor's...dare I say it...M240. He likes Zandar to drive his surf sessions.

Nowadays I can't post just Zandar. His 5 year old sister is starting to ride a wakeboard too...Look out Zandar, here comes Zayla!!

Did some surfing this weekend and thanks to two other boats not paying attention my surfboard suffered some damage. Did some googling and it sounds like my best bet is to use some two part epoxy and dress it up with some wet sanding.. Anyone else try this and have any pointers?

jmm- did 2 part on my IS 4-skim. been 10 years now and although not the prettiest nose, still watertight and works like new. didn't go the route of sanding/coloring. we just covered in epoxy, shaped it as best we could with it plyable and left it alone...
I've had really good repair results with this kit:

It's got everything you need for several repairs.

The standard for which "butter" or "glass" is determined. Very nice. We all have been there and appreciate the time while having it.
Thank you for the feedback! The board was in the water after the damage, should I let it sit to dry out before sealing it up?Quote:
