Going through my dads office last weekend and found this pic of me skiing (wow I forgot I used to do that!) at lake billy chinook circa late '80's.
My ski hasn't ridden that high in the water since the early 80's either.
So that's what "Skiing" looks like....I've heard of it before...
Well, that's what it used to look like anyway. ;)
If it were easy, they would call it wakeboarding. If it was even easier, then they would call it wakesurfing.
Yea, but they'd call it wakeboarding or wakesurfing if it was cool too.
Oh yeah, the wall of water. Skier's revenge as you approach the guys sitting on the dock.
Trip up to Ski Beech taken yesterday, the 3rd! Most Epic Picture!

^^I was tucked in the back seat, moved over to get in the pic and got totally pic-blocked LOL!
Couple more from the trip!
Perfect B-pong idea!

Some of us STILL enjoy a little slalom action.
Disclaimer, this is not from March, some time from last year.

Ya, it was my go to joke with my dad. He of coarse felt real men ski! And animals barefoot...

The animal is that thing he is skiing behind...wow!
Awesome photo! Takes me back to where I grew up skiing the Northern California Delta and hanging at Lost Isle.
Went throught he V-drives with tunnel rams or blowers, moved onto jets then back to bigger V-drives (my last one was a true 100+ mph on gps Schiada).
We used to always compete at the beginning of the season to see who could dip an elbow first! Had a lot of hairy wipe outs.
Whirlwind trip to Mickey world in big O town.
fly down Thursday met up with the parents , magic kingdom Friday, drive home sat and Sunday with 3 mo old and 3.5 yr old. 19 hrs later
great trip. Too short, pls the 60 degrees felt like 90 to us. Come on summer.
the smile says it all.

I picked up the boat from the detail shop. After a wash to get rid of the winter grime and a coat of wax had our boat looking better than when we bought it.
We plan on getting in next weekend, but the water is only 49, so it won't be a long set. Attachment 16973
Scottie- Sweet ride!
Eric- 100 on the water is insane! That pic is behind his SS class race boat after he converted it to a ski boat. The last boat he owned was a Rogers mini day jet that he put a blown 468 in after getting smoked at Shasta too often by the California boys when it had a 454. It was good for 80mph and could stand on end and throw a 300' wall of water out the jetavator.
Of coarse I had my mom out on the Supra this summer and she tells me "this is such a great boat, you know all I ever wanted was a nice family boat"
Lol.
Headed to Seattle Yesterday

We can do that too!
Attachment 16978Attachment 16979It was an insane ride! After I had Dustin Whipple install one of his family blowers and an EFI system, the thing would jump out of the water with the tranny (turbo 400) in second gear. If you had an open beverage, it would suck the liquid right out of the can while in your lap. It was a two-handed experience and even a bigger bear to ski behind if the driver wasn't used to it (and most wern't)
Sold that beauty which was my fasted top-end speed boat and bought a brand new shiney from the factory (shhhh) Natique with every option except the bigger motor. Most expensive and most fun (til I picked up my current '02 Moomba!) but what a bath I took on that Natique when I had to sell it to finish building my house. Oh well, as we say around here, problems to have...
Love the Bassets and the horns on the Holley! I still quake over the looks, smells and sounds of a big chevy with two holleys on top of tunnel ram. I tell my kids about growing up with a "Basset Tattoo" every summer. I almost picked up a super clean 21' Sanger mini-day cruiser from an old(er than me) fart in AZ a few months back, but figured I didn't need a third boat, my wife might shoot me and I would need to restock on AC/DC and Lynard Skynard cassette tapes!!!Quote:

The Schiadas are beautifully built rigs, that were designed to run fast in some slight chop, It actually looked kind of tame with the Whipple Charger, but when at the dock and fired up it turned a few heads up here in NorCal.
In SoCal, AZ and FL this boat is a pup!
I don't have too many photos and none of it in the water as I was always busy holding on!!
Schiadas gone, but I still have the Vette, painted silver and has new leather interior.

It is finally that time of year again. Hooked up battery and she fired right up. She's out of the water for the week getting the stereo work done but back in next weekend.

Hamilton Rd? Lanier?
I am really really jealous man, its absolutely a dream of mine to be on a lake one day. Hopefully I am not too old to ski and wakeboard before I get there.
Nope, not in GA. KG is razorback.
