Nice! That 1st pic looks like he's praying to the wave gods :D
What's your setup?
Oh man, I feel like Im always changing it lol. Ive only had the boat a month, and were all new to wakesurfing. I added the wavemakers ballast Friday night, so 1200s and 550s, and I have a 260 in the bow under the front seat. Pics are Sat, and Sun. Sat I had 8 passengers with that setup. Today I had 3 passengers, and ended up putting a 750 in the back seat, and another 260 in the bow on the floor. Running 10.5-11mph, and 0,20,65.Quote:

Anyway a little progress on some new tricks using the bb Talkin helmets. These are great you can talk to the kid behind the boat and he can talk to you.

Thanks, but he's my son. Maybe I'll make a montage of the spills he takes learning this stuff. He works his a$$ off..and sometimes breaks it.Quote:

You need to update your boat signature my friend! Last I checked the 2014 Moomba Mondo does not have a walk through transom but the 2019 Supra SL 450 does. Might have to figure out a boat party next summer if/when I pull the trigger.Quote:

The wife got perfect water for her surf run. We were the only people playing in the water and it was still 70 water/ 82 air.
Finished with a slalom ski a bit after sunset. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...0ff0fea493.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9da5d9c590.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...121f23899b.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...4b5808fad6.jpg

My friend's daughter likes a more mellow skim wave. She loved it!Quote:

Towed a buddies 2020 SA back home from break-in svc Cincinnati (I was down there for meetings). Then got out on it last night. Absolutely bananas surf wave and wake. He lengthened it out at 11.3 and I never have been able to recover/pump back in from 30’ back. Wild. Sound system is great. It’s an amazing package!
I’ll also never own another boat can’t be towed with the tower down. This thing weighs a lot more than my Craz but I got 4-5mpg better.

Sweet SA, what’s funny is your buddies SA is same color as the Supra brochure SA and my local dealer just got the same colors. Also Southtown Watersports has the same color SA.

Yep it was one of the dealer orders that he snagged. They built it like the press boat with the exception of the tower accents.Quote:

As promised a compilation of some of Zandar's crashes while he worked his a$$ off learning new tricks behind our Moomba Max! Of course there were hundreds more crashes all summer long, but not all made it to film. Don't forget about 4 year old Zayla, his sister, as she shows her toughness too. Hard work pays off!!

Trust me, it happened!!! Slalom ski with the almost full moon and the sunset on the Horizon on 9/11, and then during my run 3 F-15 fighter jets fly overhead.Quote:

My buddy I’ve been boarding/boating with since we were 15 decided it was time to upgrade from his 1999 Pro Air Nautique since we primarily surf now. He and his wife usually come out on our boat since the wave is so much better than you can get in a DD.
They just bought a 2005 Super Air Nautique 210, so yesterday he and I took it out with multiple fat sacs and pumps to get it dialed in before he starts ordering specific bags for the storage areas. It made a great wave for a 21’ boat, and its only going to get better. I’ll be helping him upgrade to reversible pumps and redo the stereo system this winter.

So after we rode all morning in this little cove the kids were doing a bit of a free swim when this guy and his wife came rushing over to tell us they were not happy about us being in their backyard. Damn they tasted good!!

Be careful of swans, they have drowned small children. They are mean as F%#k!!!

I'll feed a duck. I won't feed a swan or goose.... Larry is spot on.
That is a mute swan and they are aggressive. They are a non native species and a nuisance.
If a mute swan was that close to my boat, I would probably shoot it with my hand gun. Mutes have orange beaks.
Just don’t confuse them with a trumpeter swan as those are protected.
I remember this article from a few years ago, says the mute swan is the most aggressive bird on earth towards humans.

I have had encounters with these swans before. They are aggressive, big, strong and scary. When I saw them coming toward the boat I said to my wife "they're going to attack". We got the kids out of the water, took some pictures (mean or not, they are photogenic) and found another area to swim.
