August 2016 PICTURE THREAD. POST THEM PICS!

When it looks like this on the way to your camp spot on a 5 day weekend, well the speeding ticket just might be worth it.

Yep, not bad...

My brother-in-law-ish guy. Snowboarder by heart. Not bad for only having been behind a boat like 3 times.

Daddy Daughter bonding. Setting a good example by surfing in the shipping channel into the night without a spotter. What could go wrong?
(I'm pretty sure she's a better driver than me.)

Little show off... She's diggin the Inland Surfer Ika board.

Later that night we picked up a few more passengers and went out to watch the meteor showers from the water. Decided a surf set was in order so with ballast full, 9 passengers on board, and suck gate in place we went for it. It could have been the whiskey improving my judgement but I swear it was the best wave this old boat has ever put out. Ridiculously long pocket and plenty of height and push. And this is the only pic I could get - lame.

My mother-in-law had some premonition that a barge was bearing down on us and what do you know she was, well close. No more pics since the camera man was panicking but you get the idea how dark it was. Turns out surfing in the shipping channel at night may not be the best idea...

In WI the DNR and Sheriff would be all over our azz if someone was sitting on the swim platform while under power!
I've been pulled over for simply having someone sitting on the rear deck with their feet on the rear seat...was also pulled over for idling away from shore at 1 mph with a wakeboarder sitting on the rear deck with their feet on the swim platform!

Wow...I'm also in WI. Have yet to put my registration and expiration stickers on the boat. I only have about 40 hours on the Craz so far, but I've never been pulled over.

It would be the same for us, but weekdays they are nowhere to be found

That was lake monroe in Indiana. But we go to Dale Hollow mostly.

Went out last night. 70 degree water and air temp was above 90. Loving life.

Lol I have three!

Another great day full day of skiing and surfing up in Northern Wisconsin, capped off by an early-evening cocktail cruise before putting the LSV away for the evening....

Started going out one night a week after work in addition to the weekends to get some more water time in before it gets cold, us Southerners don't like water below 75*...

Falling in love with surfing for sure. The get offs are far more gentle compared to wakeboarding!

Spent the weekend at a lake I'd never taken my boat to (just visited in years past with friends). The lake was an hour and 20 minutes from home. We teamed up with another family; they brought the 5th wheel and provided the food, we brought the boat. Had an RV space with a boat slip about 100 feet away.

Since we got up there pretty quick after work, we were able to get in a quick surf session on Friday evening. I went last and got in a fun night surf. it was still 85 degrees at almost 9pm. Pretty rare for up here.

Brought a 2nd handle and did my first doubles wakeboarding, father/son style.

And of course the wife surfed her little heart out.

I've touched my boat once since the Jam... It's been disappointing the weather has sucked down here too, so that doesn't help.
We have been flying like crazy. I took this yesterday leaving Vegas. That's a line of 12 planes behind us waiting to takeoff.
http://i1080.photobucket.com/albums/...psziessqmm.jpg
And this is our route into Houston... The controllers here are infuriating. Had a straight shot to the airport, but no, we had to go through the weather. Idiots...

I feel your pain, Taylor, and it sucks! I had a few hours out last Saturday, before the rain, and then once on a friend's boat up at the T prior to that, and then the Jam. I'm hoping the T is able to clear up and be perfect for Fall Bash. Speaking of Fall Bash, are you going?

Had a blast yesterday on the best weather day we've had in over a week

I did good to make sure we had most everything loaded in the boat... Life jackets, boards, food, drinks (for everybody), key, kids. It wasn't until I had the bags full and was about to jump in that I realized I had left the ropes in the garage. 😤

So while I ran back to the house to get them, my wife took these of the girls having a blast

After I got back, we hooked up with Russell (Russellsmojo) for a couple hours, and somehow the two of us ended up with all 5 kids on his new Mojo while the wives had mine all to themselves.

My wife did manage to get this pic of my 9 year old behind Russell's boat:

And Russell took this one of me with one of the twins

We had crap weather this weekend, but Laura's parents took the kids and we had an afternoon off.

I didn't know anything about it... But I doubt I'll make it. I leave for Lear 75 school on September 6. Be gone for 3 weeks if all goes well.

i see she has the throttle clear down!!!

snuck out with just the 3 of us. no one else to accommodate, just a stealth family run.

The wife and son getting some surf in. Water was 72, air was about 85. Wasn't as smooth as we would have liked (with was probably 10 to 15) but we found a little bit of wind shelter in our ride spot, although we had to balance that with water depth as we were knocking on water 10 to 15 feet if I got close enough to shore to really offset the wind.

Runway lights making it easier to put the boat on the trailer in the dark.

You power load your boat? I've never done mine, too nervous of hitting prop on trailer, plus it throws rocks at the launches around here and makes a high spot.
