    Default LSV wake pic, no ballast

    Thought I'd post a cell phone pic taken tonight. Just me driving and a 100 lb spotter. No ballast, 21 mph, wake plate dead center, 65 ft of rope. It looked so good I didn't bother to fill the ballast when I rode, just added some rope and a speed. Love the LSV!

    he indicates it's "tonight". as he was skimming across the water, the fin of the wakeboard was knocking the young-hatched fish unconcious that were approaching the surface to feed, causing them to float to the top. had his ballast been full, the young fish would have had more warning to the impending doom coming from the wakeboard fin..




    that's what I heard anyway

    Somebody needs to add a PWI to his signature. AND, I know who I'm hanging out with next time I'm in Idaho.

    That is a great wake considering there is no ballast.

    I wish I bought an LSV. Live and learn.

    the vacancy shingle is always out... just no guarantees on where or with who you'll be sleeping.

    I am planning another trip to florida in the near future again, so it better be reciprocal. hoping to catch a glimpse of the amazing site known as ed's shorts

    The prop seems to churn up little fish this time of year. Makes wakeboarding more interesting with fish flopping and birds swooping.
