Looks like I get to start this months thread. The water was a nice 61 today in beautiful Lake Havasu.
Here's my 6 year old going through the Superpipe. 22 foot high walls, 600 feet long. He had fun. http://youtu.be/Y_6Q9BeH4H8
More water sports related, just picked up a wake skate for him to try surfing this year.
Cool. If I did that there would be a big ole "yard sale".
Pretty cool - start 'em young and build up that courage. By the time he's 10 he'll be scaring the bejeezes out of you.Quote:

Brings back memories of my son at that age. Last year at 8 y/o he was able to get his whole body above the top wall of our Superpipe at Mt Hood Meadows.Quote:

The things I do for the sports I love. My boat is still winterized but today we had sunny and 62 degree weather. So I drove my family 2 hours down south to go ride with Jester on his new Enzo. It did not disappoint.
I wakeboarded first, but it was new boat, and a brand new slingshot setup I got for Christmas. But I got it dialed in well enough to get some good air here and there. Wow, that slingshot pops. I went to do my normal toeside 180 and almost popped a 360 (a trick I've never done).
For surfing I was thankful for booties, gloves, and drysuit. The Enzo wave was juicy and I had a blast on it. That boat is amazing. Tons of storage, really great features. Easily the best bimini I've ever seen. Well done indeed.

This was my "adventure rig" for today. Gotta love a 4.2L 340hp V8 Wagon to make the road trip for some boating!

And this is what we saw when we finally arrived.

Needless to say I was stoked. In fact, I was wishing I would have brought my SKI! Yeah, that would have been hilarious to ski behind an Enzo!
Wait one second. I know that crew. It was a great crew and fun time on the water. If it is not going to snow I will be on the water.
Bought our first GoPro in Oct and this was our first attempt at putting a video together ... GoPro's are awesome and can't wait to use it with other activities.

Thanks ... We chose the Hero3+ Silver ... I read all of the reviews on all models and this one does more than you need and best for the price. I picked it up for $299 on amazon ... Still need to figure out best settings and angles and get a longer selfie pole for wakeboarding shots.Quote:

Thanks ... Wife's first time surfing. Took her about a dozen times to finally go wireless and she can't wait to get out on the lake again. I've always had a shortie wet suit to extend the season and when she started surfing last year she wanted a shortie. I was always the one saying lets go to lake; now the wife is always wanting to go ... I'm spoiled and have a great wife.
Beautiful day....till I hit a sandbar :mad:

that's a Looooooooooonnnnnnnnnnng board
Fun cruiser, and you can ride waaaaaaaay back on the wave. Good for two people too.
Seeing as there's only dudes on that boat, I'm sure glad you forgot your selfie stick.Quote:

Newty, that looks frigid, what were the temps?
Air 46, water 46. Wasn't bad really. I was sweating by the time I was done. It helps if you keep your head out of the water.

Newty- don't for get these! "Don't drink the yeast at the bottom of the bottle!" & "Low-five, when u forget your right bootie." (is there are wrong bootie??!!).
Also... I like how you are simulating holding the beer in your right hand in the pic.
You have to do whatever it takes to keep warm. Also his hand does not know what to do without a beer in it so that is just his normal position.Quote:
