haha I know. Truthfully I only have maybe 3-4 pairs of shorts I like to wear and these are by far the most comfortable simply because that stupid mesh inside doesn't chaff my nadz or ride tight on my boys :D

No, not at all. Supra uses this new "cool touch" vinyl. I thought it was a gimmick, but I sat in a black interior one that was sitting in the sun and it was indeed cool to the touch. It works, I just question how it will hold up to heavy use. The tan interior does not get hot at all, same with the gator step, I thought it would get hot but it does not, its a foamy thing that does not hold heat and is comfy to walk on.
This is a video of my son Miguel having completed his first 360. Needless to say we all went bananas. He's 12 and had been trying all last year, kept making the turn but sliding off back of wave. On Tuesday he was bound and determined to get it done, kept trying over and over again and getting just so close until he nailed it.

My son leaves for the Marines in August, so I wanted to make a grad vid for him. Heres a peek at some of the shots I got.

Will continue to work on wave. Will add 500 lb lead. Will try AW next time. I’m kinda old school that way.

Nice boat! Love the color scheme. Of course I am partial to red, white, and black. [emoji12]. There are a ton of opinions on Autowake, but I love it. Just remember to shift your lead weight to the areas your ballast are at 100% so it doesn’t drain as much weight from the other zones. No replacement for displacement.

Got the foil out last night and starting to get some slack in the rope. Felt pretty good for my second time on it. I don’t own one, so now I may have to buy one. [emoji23]

Got the ski out for the first time also.

Water was trash for most of the day as we had a big parade on the lake but when the wave could settle in it was great!

That looks so fun
Beautiful Lake Martin and Goat Island in the background just off the bow.

Finally got the ECM in and got on the lake. It was a quick day trip with just my Pops and I to make sure everything was working smoothly. Boat ran great. Here is the only picture I got. It is of my old man. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...50f85e147f.jpg

Ok last addition to the boat for now anyways. Gatorstep took my rough templates and a little back and forth and we made it look factory. No more slipping using the bow ladder. Very happy with the results

ruger- looks great... nice addition.
Ok so still learning but found out the weirdest thing tonight or I thought so anyways. 2 weeks ago 1 adults and 2 extra kids so we’re taking 120# ish autowake surfing threw an impressive wake. Tonight no kids 1 adult it was so so and washy. Over rode it and played with some weight. More setting it up manual listing and still surf tab. Got a better wave than auto was putting out. Still bugged me that if we increased bow weight past 25% we lost push[emoji848]. Finally said what would it do if we went full or almost full 80% now and non surf side then 100% surf side[emoji2369]. The results were night and day different. I tested the push and could recover 15-20Ft back without problems. Where previously the pocket was short. So recorded the autowake numbers and programmed them in we’ll see how it will react next time to see if it can recreate our awesome wave.
Never seen a hull react this way but I think I like it & the more i figure out what it wants and doesn’t want the easier it will be.
Now wakeboarding I set autowake amplitude at 50% and let it rip. Does very well I think!
Here’s a few pics of the goofy wave difference before and after on windy water

that looks like Deer Creek, can see the back side of Mt. Timp?
Got invited by one of Zandar's coaches to Lake Wesserunsett in Maine for the weekend. We had a great time there. Stayed in a cabin with the boat in the backyard. We were able to do multiple sets per day, return to the dock for lunch, back in the boat etc. Anyway the highlight was Zandar's coaching getting enough confidence into him to try a Mexican Backroll. He landed on his back first try. Second try he got about 80% of the way around!!! Unfortunately he twisted his ankle pretty bad on the (crash) landing and will need a few days to recover. He has never been hurt before, so this is a new thing for him to sit back and heal. Anyway here it is, a 10 year old attempting to go upside down behind a boat.

Nice. Kudos to him for trying. I'd be scared s***less.
Easy there mate. Isn't it winter there?
A late addition to June - not real exciting as our weather isn't cooperating. Finally got my bimini board pockets done. Such a huge improvement. One is slightly deeper for a thicker board - hoping a kneeboard would fit up there but nope. If you've ever been considering doing something like this I would highly recommend it.

As you can see the iffy weather turned to crap on our maiden voyage. We pulled up to a marina and hit the cantina for some cervezas and salsa. Kinda funny going past the sailboat - full timer. Had a couple outboards hanging off it, a bike, some tomato plants and of course about 15 pot plants growing. LOL - not quite sure how the law would regulate that with you living on the water.

The electric fence around the perimeter of the dock to keep sea lions off was interesting/intimidating too.
Love the "This is my happy place" sticker.
Gunna have to copy that!
Not much else to do during Winter here, oh and the excitement of another lockdown in Victoria (in Australia).
Enjoy the sunshine, only only 4 months to go.......
Cheers BruceR, Melb AUS.
