Annual island camping trip in Maine. Stayed a week this year. Mt. Katahdin in the background.

That's a beautiful picture! Moomba needs to put that on their brochure.
I double that comment!

What kinda cameras are y'all using the pictures look amazing lately haha
I use my iPhone for most of these. It doesn’t do so well in low light conditions and has artifacts that annoy me but it’s so easy to whip it out and take a decent quality image in a split second compared to digging out the good camera gear. I did bring my DSLR and use it a few times but no images uploaded with it in this thread. All action shots are taken with my GoPro Hero 8.Quote:

Back home now and it’s going to suck come Monday at work :D. Here’s some surf video from the vacay.

Nice job on practicing the transfers Hak! That’s definitely where I’m looking to focus next. See if I can get across clean and rope-less. Need good comms with your driver to get the timing right. Riding heel edge on the face of the wave messes with my brain so much….gotta work at it.
Yea I couldn't even compute what I needed my feet to do when I tried heel side :D!!! My brain was so confused lol. The curl on the goofy side didn't help matters as it's much meatier and it was just engulfing my back leg making it worse trying to play with footing. That lasted for a few seconds before saying screw it put me back on the regular side :D.
We did the 3, 2, 1 countdown during the transfer attempt and my daughter said my wife hit the switch on time. I just need to count what the actual delay and time it takes the plates to move and form the wave. I was just stoked I actually made it over that time because I've tried in the past but wasn't able to even get over. Now that I understand how to pump and generate speed it "clicks" with how to get over there.
It was fun even if I failed at both. I also failed miserably trying to do a spin but I haven't found that footage yet. It was probably the worst looking attempt at a spin ever tried :D
We had a great day. Much needed before the work week begins.

a few from yesterday morning with the family
My son entered his first wakeboard competition this weekend, the British Columbia Provincial Championship and finished third. We had a blast and are super stoked that he made the podium with bronze!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...8edb47285c.jpg

That’s so awesome! Tell him great job!!
Thanks guys. It was really nice that he did so well. He worked really hard this season riding 2 or 3 times a day. He wakes me up now on my days off to take him out while the water is like glass lol. He isn’t riding at Zander’s level yet but he is also a bit younger. He will be trying to land his tantrums and scarecrows next season which is pretty cool. I will post video when he lands them.
That is great!
Where was the competition?
It looks very clear of smoke...
Pretty great Sunday on Lake Conroe. Looking forward to the TX Jam this weekend

One of my staff just returned from two weeks in BC, first one in Tofino, and the second on a houseboat. First week was fantastic, the second not so much!
He said the smoke was so bad they maybe only had 200 yards visibility.
We had booked a houseboat vacation also for the last week of July. We canceled and were very pleased that the houseboat company gave us a full refund.
Had my final weekend of the summer last weekend and also had some work today. Some how I failed to get pictures of the boat in the water so here is one on the trailer.
Had an issue with the trailer bunks being lower on the left side than the right so I pulled them off to install spacers (boat was rubbing on the left fender) and found this. About 2/3 of the bunk mounts are rusted all to hell while the other 1/3 look basically perfect. Boats never been in brackish much less salt water but it looks like I have some work to do this fall.

Wow! That is certainly more than surface rust too. Any salted roads? But strange how nothing else is rusting. Possibly caused by treated lumber from the bunk boards. Try sliding a thin piece of rubber between them before mounting back.

no salted roads in south east texas. I already put it back together with 1/4 aluminum spacer between there. This fall / winter ill chip the rust and repaint I guess. Carpet needs to be replaced on some of the bunks anyways.Quote:

with a trailer less than 5 years old I would think boatmate would send out the metal hangers for someone to fix. at 8 or 9 years might be a harder sell.
If Boatmate would foot the bill for all that I’d be interested. I’ve had nothing but problems with the trailer this summer to be honest from two leaking wheel seals to burning up a brake rotor coming down a hill to rust to the boat bottoming out on a fender. Not too impressed. Super frustrating part is it should all be under warranty but it always breaks when a warranty claim would not be a practical solution.Quote:

I'm curious why this is your last weekend of the summer. You live in South Texas....isn't your season like 8 months long? I guess you always have the first weekend in Fall.....LOL
Also, it looks in the photos that the rust has actually weakened the bracket and it is bent further down than the other side. That is why the boat is dropped down. You could DIY a fix pretty easy without all the hassle of welding but the boat has to be off the trailer for any of it.
Call Boatmate and see what they say. My friends Craz (2019) was just stranded at Norris. Wheel bearing had failed and took out the hub, 2nd time in 11 months. The brake actuator was found to be bad also on the tongue, and it caused a stuck caliper on the bad bearing side. Boatmate sent a new axle and service tech to swap it in a church parking lot. He had to leave it for the week and then drive back down from Ohio to get it though. They sent a new actuator to his house for hime to change.
That was good service. I would be satisfied.Quote:

I'd be surprised if they would cover all of it but for me, I'd push for the replacement metal and I'd grind and weld/paint myself. for me that would be a win.Quote:
