It's a shame we can't ski before 10am...

Can't ski before 10? That is insane not to be able to ski that kind of glass! I take it that is an actual law of the lake?Quote:

The twist to the law was “boat could not be on plane”
Wake Surfing technically would not break that law.

good chunk of the lakes in the upper midwest are this way. 10-6 are the "recreation" times. before and after it's all about fishing in the morning and booze cruise in the evening.Quote:

This is crazy! I’ve never heard of such laws. I guess that means you can sleep in everyday since there is no reason to hurry out on the glass but man that’s tragic. That was is so calm!Quote:

“I go all the time.”
This was 3yo Wes’ comment after his first ride. Today was the day he decided it was time.

That’s awesome! Even though riding with your kids limits what you can do on the board I still think it’s the most fun I’ve had surfing, taking my son with me.Quote:

Seriously, if we had that law here in Utah i would sell the boat. I love to be on the water by 7am to get the best water possible for a good ski. Wow, i didn't know those kind of laws exist.Quote:

And then waiting in the water until the little fishing boat trolled out of my line. He was within earshot so I said hi while floating in the water. He responded "it much be kinda hard to ski in here with people trying to fish." I of course responded "it must be hard to fish here with people trying to ski. I need smooth water, you don't".
WA says that we can play on the water an hour before sunrise to an hour after sunset. OR is Sunrise to Sunset. So there.

This weekend I took my first attempts at riding the foil board with the surf wave. (ignore the song choice as I didn't even realize my son's playlist was still going) It's even harder than foiling at wakeboard length. and the crashes are wicked. My advice is to curl up in a ball and pray!!!

Had the inevitable torsion axle failure. Yes, that wheel is an inch off the ground.

But we had a great weekend and burned through a lot of gas. The wife looks tiny even next to her little 4'4" Doomswell Sparkplug.

Celebrated my belated birthday with a crew of awesome friends, and were treated to some rare afternoon smooth water. It's always great to celebrate with your friends cheering you on.

Fair enough! And good to hear it's not universal! TN is on the short list of places to consider for retirement!Quote:

I guess I should throw out there that KY and TN are not midwestern states, but we Boat in Indiana also, and never had that rule.Quote:

Pretty sure it’s not us midwesterners moving out to Portland. We’re pretty satisfied with home out here in the sticks for the most part. Lotsa folks leave and end up coming back amazingly enough. Our winters suck ass but the culture is rock solid.Quote:

It’s not a state law in Michigan but can be a lake association rule enforced by Marine police.
Keep in mind that jet skis and wake boats are the bane of most lakes.

Had some friends visiting from out of town. Taught my buddy to surf - sort of. [emoji23] Another friend's daughter made huge strides in the last 2 weeks. She'll be doing 360s and Ollies before we know it. And then there's my old ass. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...5418d89642.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...37d8269a0a.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...ae9f480fe1.jpg
Had a great crew Sunday and Monday. We put over 20 hours on the boat! Surfed a solid 12 hours Sunday, 2full tanks of gas between both days. It was amazing. Wave was kicking! I still have yet to ride out a 360 this year, I’ve been taking some hard hits trying. Had the board try and land on me yesterday, I landed on the board once and thought I broke my wrist, and the best is the included pictures... lol
I thought I had it, but the Doomswell has a different idea and kept rotating and caught the heel edge sending me straight to my shoulders and neck. Lmao

We shredded so hard on the Doomsy yesterday the gator step and logo started to peel up. So, we repurposed it!

It happened so fast I couldn’t curl up. Lol wish I could figure out how to post videos.
Isn’t all our African dust nice? Makes a crappy filter for go pro’s and drones
One of the coolest parts of the day was my buddy that brought out his drone. He’s editing some stuff together and I’ll post it. These are some still shots from Monday morning out of the footage. He circled the boat a couple times and it’s such a cool angle being in front of the SA

You either run out of gas or daylight when you don't want the day to end!

Spent 4 days at Norris Lake, TN with no kids and 10 adults. Why is it we act like we are 18 again when we can ditch the kids for a few days.

Friday was Christmas in July.

Saturday was “Merica” day. Had to stop for some pictures with the locals (lady in the middle). It was hard to miss us rolling into a marina.

Got a little tired and thirsty from surfing, so I had to sit down and drink a beer.

Also did a little double surfing action.
