Thats awesome! We are going to work with our 7yo this year on surfing. Didnt think about not using ballast at first. Did you start her in the water with her heels on the board and pull her up or is there another way? What board did she use?Quote:

I can take a video to explain better. My 9yo is up on the turn now - she’s better/easier to pull than the adults :)
She learned it fast and now gets up on her own, but that first couple runs - in my opinion - is 100% about getting them stoked. If they have a bad experience, don’t try it. Bad water, don’t try... You want them to come back and try again!
My point... I watched this guy the other night yelling and frustrated, kid was crying... dad is saying ‘try it again’ when the kid wanted out of the water... guarantee that kid won’t be doing it again soon

Used this stuff after a quick detailer and ipa wipedown, it has good reviews and was quick and easy to apply and leaves a super slick finish. I’m impressed

Was a very nice evening on the water. He was happy to be the first one to wakeboard behind the new boat and that he got up first try after not boarding last summer due to floods and sold old boat.

Water was still chilly. But that’s an easy fix. Took me a minute to figure out why I couldn’t drop the rope with her on the board with me, she didn’t get her foot all the way on the board so wetsuit bootie was dragging in the water. Fixed that and I almost took us up on the platform. Ready for more days like this and a little warmer water.

Man, that looks really good! Is it supposed to be used for marine use? I used the Hula Silica spray this year and it seemed to do the trick also.

Not specifically but figured I’d give it a try. If it doesn’t perform I’ll go back to good old meguiars flagship marine wax.

Speaking of ceramic spray products anyone try The Last Coat? I’ve been watching a lot of ceramic product videos and TLC seems pretty good. Anyone tried it?
