July 2023 pics and vids thread

Well we are 3 days in and no new thread so I guess I’ll start another one lol.

Some thrown together footage from last weekend. Ballast wasn’t full from the relay issue but decided to try 80 on the surf plate @ 11.2 mph again since I ran those settings at the end of last season and I liked the wave it put out. Yea it knocks a little height off the wave compared to 65 but it’s still plenty big and seems to have a thicker, rolled over top portion and power is still there, even if not 100% ballasted.

Hak, keep the videos coming always like seeing them.

We didn’t take a lot of pics but we had a great weekend. Did add a new rear Bimini that made a huge difference in the hot sun. Wakeshade.com

That looks pretty simple to install. Where did you get it?

Wakeshade.com Pretty simple to install. But had to adjust the mounts last night a bit but I think I have it set we’re it will clear my rope now. Was barely rubbing this weekend, so we just surfed. Not a perfect Bimini, could still use a bit of refinement but well worth it on 95-100 deg days

And are you still able to use all 4 surf sleeves on the top of the front bimini?

Yes surfing and wakeboarding. I’ve got it adjusted now it should clear my rope off the top tow point. It’s rated for 30mph

I was able to squeeze my nebstep in but I didn’t try my longer broadcast. It’s harder for sure depending on the board

My buddy flew to the lake in his helicopter making for quite the show. My daughter is infatuated with it but won't go for a flight. I keep nudging my kids to consider a career in aviation. After hearing how quick the flight was to the lake, my son interest just peaked!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...48229fe91e.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...d12c552a32.jpg

Having a great 4th of July week at the lake… early morning butter sessions on the wakeboard, surfing with my daughter, finally getting my son standing on the ZUP, and lots of family hang out time.

There's the two main normal sleeves and then a 2nd bungee cord you can use to stack two boards on top of each other, one slightly behind the other. (I admit, I rarely have more than two boards on my boat but with big crews and 90-230 lbs weight range it has happened.)

Good for you! But don't let that "No good deed goes unpunished" curse get you. I hope for you it does not! Still like the look of your boat too!! It reminds me of home! LOL!

My wife has learned how to surf! She could get up but now it's finally clicked for her! She got ropless for the first time today. Big day for her. I pulled her for about 4 hours straight. She is relentless once she gets going and has been putting all the pieces together and I couldn't be more proud of her! https://i.ibb.co/M6JBZmp/20230709-184537.jpg

Heck yes!! My wife cried and struggled for a whole season. Two seasons in and everyone calls her WLD! Her name is Draia so they call her whole lake Draia [emoji23]

She never falls and can keep going for dayssssss.

I LOVE this for her!

I noticed your crew out in the Cove on Sunday. I had the dog swimming at that little boat ramp.
Those dark clouds scared most away. Betting that made for a great day.

That's awesome. Now it's time to get her a life jacket that fits. Maybe it's just the picture but that jacket looks huge :-D

Little update. After adjusting the Bimini I can’t get my Nubstep in as the fins are too long to clear the Bimini case. Any skim style will slip right in. But long broadcast was too long and wouldn’t fit. So I might need to tweek it a bit more still yet.

Thanks for the updated info, any chance you could send some pictures of the interferences? I've been thinking of buying one as well but may consider building my own and can design aroundthese challenges. It looks short on the Makai, I was hoping it would be a bit longer but every bit of shade helps.

I’ll try to get a few pics this week.

Far as length, it works well on the Makai I think, clears your head as you step down off the deck to the rear seat. No ducking required. Longer would have to duck down to get under it.

That's an adult small! I think it's just the pic, she wouldn't be happy to see I posted pics of her on the internet without her hair done!

Should have called! We could always use more crew was just the wife and I. Now that the shop is done I can hopefully come out and get some foil time in.

Finally a chance to contribute. Great week for the 4th - no wind and all-day glass for 7 days.

You should try riding one of these suckers. Sweet spot was about 18mph but man what an arm workout...

https://i.imgur.com/yX0S5qK.jpg

Only a few runs on the foil. I was a bit bummed my son, who was progressing way better than me, had no interest in riding this trip.

https://i.imgur.com/BcPQNCU.jpg

Sunset sturgeon fishing. The big question from the boys was "what do we do when we get one to the boat??" Followed by my blank cold stare. After 9pm and still glass....

Best, ok ONLY fireworks show we've seen in the last 3 years.

Wow that IS some glass. Great pics. The one with the transmission lines in the back makes it almost looks like she is holding a septer in her hand.

I think if the black struts were vertical vs 45 it would give it enough clearance to clear most boards. Might not clear the big surf fins but shorter ones.

Looks like if the struts were a little longer, it might help. Almost looks like it needs to be able to go vertical to be able to go over the light.
