Toward the end of a session sometimes I just want to launch myself off the wave and into the whitewash. Am I alone? Going to attempt a fat guy flip next time :D. It does look enticing to do lol

Yea I know I have no business trying one being so new to this but figured why not. Didn't come close to going as planned :D :D

Went down to Canyon Lake in the TX hill country for a week. Ran into a fellow forum member and his family on Monday and got some drone shots for them. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...8577e79227.jpg

Had an awesome weekend camping on a remote island in Maine.

It's called Pemadumcook Lake in Millinocket, Maine. Funny thing is the lake can get pretty nasty most days due to the trade winds. The day I arrived the chop would've given offshore boats a rough ride :wink: The next three days while we were there it was flat as could be all day. The day we left, the chop picked up again and it was nasty. I'll probably never hit 3 days in a row of such perfect weather again in my life.
We like Newfound Lake here in New Hampshire. Some days can get a little choppy out there as well but there's also some places to hide and find decent water. It's known as being one of the cleanest lakes in the country!
Thanks for leaving it there for me to find! I actually looked at it online several times before I even tried to sell the idea to my GF. At the time it wasn't our favorite combination, but the longer we've had it, the more we love it. I think the interior with the raspberry piping pulls it all together. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...61e827d50a.jpg
kt,
that exterior is one of the more unique boats I have seen. looks great especially the white tower.....
I remember how polarizing the peanut butter interiors were in 2018, now they are the norm.
Gets away from the loud/busy wake boat interiors of the past and moved to a more luxury automotive style color scheme.
I am looking at another peanut butter scheme, but damn the smurf blue could be awesome with a balance of black.

New vlog is up! Fun day on the water with friends and helping new ones learn to surf too!

I agree. I was not sold on it initially. My design was red/black. My daughter redesigned it and it got submitted by almost unanimous household decision. Only one nay vote. I really like it now. I still am not too partial to the full one color brown/pecan. As upscale as it may seem, its nice to break it up.
Did a little night surfing a few days ago for the first time. It was pretty cool to finally use all the tower lights. The surfer was lit up like a Christmas Tree, but it was fairly tough for the driver to see very far out. Luckily there wasn’t much debris to worry about.

Yes it was. I also had the docking lights on, which helped to see about 15’ in front of the bow, but the tower lights didn’t do much in the way of projecting out on the water. In retrospect, I probably only needed one tower light facing the surfer and 3 facing forward. That may have helped. There wasn’t much moon light, so it was pretty dark out there. We put a person in the front to help watch. It was super cool though. I would definitely do it again.

Night surfing looks pretty cool but it would freak me out lol. We never boat at night just because of fear of debris plus illegal in my state and the waters are patrolled, It didn't look like your surfer had any type of reflective device or even w glow stick on. Seems like they would be a must, unless I guess you have spot lights on your boat as well? I've seen those surf boards with crazy LED lighting on them and it looks insane lol
Got to finally try out the LTU buoys last wknd....
I don't have a BABZ for direct comparison but I can honestly say the LTU ones are three times the size of my old Exile ones.
I was WAY less nervous cozying up to Cactus' brand spanking new, paper plate, 2021 SE 550.

Trying a double surf without enough human or water ballast.

Not happening.

Few seasons ago I had 10 on board and full ballast and we almost had it. However the wind kicked up, big swells and we barely made it off the river alive so had some reluctance to try again being so fully loaded down. The front board sends off so much spray it kind of pushes the back rider out of the wave.
Best boat dog ever. Loves to dive in after the kids.

We had two 100 degree days in a row. The ramps/parks were full by 7:30am and turning people away. We went up to the highest reservoir by Mt St Helens - same one Trayson was posting about. After a day on the water we were just cruising around and spotted a white stripe back in a cove.
Here's one you don't see every day - a first for me.

It was deep enough we could motor right up to it. A bit chilly though!
That's awesome.
Always cool to find new stuff on the lake
Here are some more and drivers seat https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...63fa4a1f09.jpg

When u turn power off at the key the seat lowers and pushes back out of the way of the tower. I don’t know if it swivels at all I haven’t needed to move it from facing forward. It’s comfortable to sit in side ways. When I get home I’ll see what it will do?

Love the waterfall pictures. I would really like to go places like that!
So since nobody has asked me to stop posting videos of my kids yet, here is what Zandar has been up to lately. The TS backroll he can just about land at will now, theis video is his first (and so far only) Mexican backroll he has landed. He probably has 150 attempts at that this summer. His sister, Zayla, is just starting to be able to turn on her toes.

Good times. Finally got my 360 in this year. For some reason I can only do them at the end of summer three years in a row. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...ec5fd65109.jpg
