The new Helix and is ready to go and broke in! Had a new crew out on it this weekend after the PWT event and everybody was very impressed with the boat. I love the question "is this really a 20.5 foot boat?" Full ballast (2100) and 5 adults the Helix had zero problem getting up to speed without using the Moomba Launch. Wake was nice but still going to bring some weight and mess with it a little. Out of the box every trick from the riders was thrown and landed. Long transition up the wake and a little lip but will try to make it a little more lippy with different weight. My boy had the set of his life and was taking his straight HS airs way into the flats which he has never done before.

Tracy, have him move his toes of his front foot closer to the tow edge of the board. it'll give him more stability and allow him to actually use the balls of his feet to apply pressure on the toe edge of the board. (like snowboarding).

Looking good!

Got to go out yesterday for he first time with the kids this season. It's been a weird year. On the plus side I got to pull the boat with my newest toy! So glad I don't have to back that boat with a mega cab anymore! With a 24' boat, trailer and a mega cab I was just short of the length of a semi trailer!



The life of mom... never in the pictures!

This is my nephew, only been surfing for a few weeks. I was working with him on his feet placement, but threw him a curve ball by giving him my Happy Pill to ride. We switched boards after this set and he was fine. Same issue my wife is having, trying to get the front foot moved once up. Still struggling with the wave, but think we have it much more closer after three days straight on the water.

Finally have a contribution to make. Been a weird year for us too with moving, cold/high water, etc.

Ready for the maiden voyage.


That big white thing on the horizon is why our water is so damn cold still. Air 95, water was 60-ish.


Nice to see these two not glued to their phones or trying to kill each other for a change.


The parks were so full that we ended up at a ramp we have never launched from - primarily because the water is always too low. But it was the only one not full so we kind of hustled in and hustled out and were fighting the wind to get loaded. Afterwards I thought the trailer tire seemed a little low but it checked out ok and then the Navigator was working a little harder on the way home. Hmmm...

Nothing like bringing 7-800lbs of lake water home with you. One of those days...

I believe that makes you the first person ever to forget drain some of, or all the ballast before Loading up! I believe a prize is in order! Lol
It's always fun to turn my boat off once it's hooked to the trailer and look down and realize my foot hit one of the ballast pump switches. They're in a terrible location
