I need the 5' for my weight. 4'8" was slow and I think too small for me at 235 lbs based off their size chart. If you think 5' if long you should see the Big Easy at 5'6" :cool:

Sorry for the short GoPro clips. I did not realize I’m going to need to upgrade my OS to Windows 10 in order to edit my new GoPro Hero 8 footage. Ugh nothing is easy these days lol!
Wave was doing good this day so I’m sure it is just one of the settings I screwed up on our last day to create the scar from earlier pics.

So exciting, Zandar landed his first invert. After trying 10 to 15 mexi rolls every day for the past 5 weeks he landed a toe side backroll after only about 15 attempts all in one day. :))

Congrats to Zander, that is so awesome! Wish i had learned when i was that young, too old to be trying that kind of stuff now :)
Nice work Zander!!! Those conditions are pretty bumpy. That makes it that much more impressive.
Awesome Zander. I love watching his vids and you can tell he has such desire and determination. Great job guys!!
That is amazing! Congrats to the both of y’all!
On a similar note (not even close lol) my 8yo has finally decided to try the wakeboard a few times. I got a liquid force setup for him and my nephew a couple months ago. Getting out of the water came naturally, now we need to work on riding.

Congrats to Zander.! That is very impressive. Love to see the determination. Falling face first at wakeboard speeds is no fun, so to see he did not give up, and the enthusiasm at the end when he landed it, its so cool to watch!
I'm turning 50 this year and never could my body take that kind of beating.
Keep up the good work.:)
Thanks everybody. Zandar works hard at this, going to gymnastics all winter too. He really wants to mention his coaches at Global Boarding Watersports here in Sag Harbor. Shout outs to Robb Reid, Scott Hussey, Austin Langston, Dave Briscoe and Billy Garcia. Couldn't do any of this without those guys!
Jimmsch- That's pretty awesome. I am surprised you don't make him wear a helmet. My kids were never that radical, but with one of our other boating families the dad was adament that once they started inverts that the helmet went on.
Maybe in cable parks helmets might be a good idea. I honestly think the helmet is more likely to snap his neck if he lands wrong than it is to prevent a concussion.
as a concussion victim i fully support the use while wakeboarding and doing more extreme stuff. i keep things mellow and sure to try and avoid things. usually have a helmet in the boat for suggested use.Quote:

Looks like fun, Hack. Beautiful lake. I just wanna know...Did you finally catch up to that boat with the 2 women it?
Thanks and yea I few times I shot up to the back of that boat almost slamming into the swim deck lol. Had to bury the nose to keep from hitting it while riding that Big Easy.Quote:

Beautiful Day in the Boat
Not sure how to make it big:)
great day in the colorado below hoover dam.
tried to go from willowbeach to cottonwood but wind turned us around partway. found a cove and chilled. great boat ride if you ever get a chance.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...b1f9ae096e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...a18e8da9cc.jpg
That looks amazing, I had no idea you can cruise the Colorado River in a wake boat!Quote:

Might have to add surfing in the Colorado (while swamping kayakers) to my bucket list
Weekend riding the Trinity River...

She's 4'11.5". The top pic is my Supra, only about 30% ballast plus 1k lead. Middle pic is actually my buddy's 03 MC X10 with homemade shaper. My Supra wave maxed out is quite a bit taller and longer.Quote:
