Midships do make all the difference my friend! Great looking wave you got going there.

Took the P5 Phantom for a spin, getting the feel for it.... man can you recover from waaaaayyyy back. So much better than my hyperlite stuff (particularly the shim!)

Fair? That kid is see through! Lol. Nothing beats a solid mini co captain. Lots of good memories to come for sure.

Lol, yeah one of my buddies called him captain Casper (as in the ghost). Little dude takes after mama and will need to be dipped in a vat of sunscreen when older.

Had a long weekend at Lake Powell. Nice and hot and beautiful weather.

I wish I could get a surf wave like that on my Max! I just can't lose that valuable storage under the seats. I wonder what it would be like if I just used the rear 1200 lb bags on that wakemakers upgrade kit?

Anyway, Zandar is finally looking comfortable again on his wakeboard. This morning we did 2 hours of hard core training using the BB Talkin communication helmet. This thing works great! He is landing backside 180s to blind from inside out. Hasn't quite landed one wake to wake yet. Then in the afternoon we went out for a pure fun session with one of his buddies. That's when he finally started looking comfortable on his board again. Hope you all don't mind me posting so many videos of him.

Not at all man! It gets me pumped and excited for when my boys decides he wants to give it a shot.

Buy some lead, barely takes up any storage.

Easy there mate. Isn't it winter there?


A late addition to June - not real exciting as our weather isn't cooperating. Finally got my bimini board pockets done. Such a huge improvement. One is slightly deeper for a thicker board - hoping a kneeboard would fit up there but nope. If you've ever been considering doing something like this I would highly recommend it.





As you can see the iffy weather turned to crap on our maiden voyage. We pulled up to a marina and hit the cantina for some cervezas and salsa. Kinda funny going past the sailboat - full timer. Had a couple outboards hanging off it, a bike, some tomato plants and of course about 15 pot plants growing. LOL - not quite sure how the law would regulate that with you living on the water.



The electric fence around the perimeter of the dock to keep sea lions off was interesting/intimidating too.

You could use lead bags in the midship if you need the space. The WM rear bags for the Max are actually more than 1,200 lbs I believe. They are the same bags used on the Makai kit and those are -1,345 lbs each rear bag IIRC. When you go on their site and option a 2020 Max for rear upgrade it doesn’t include the midship bags for whatever reason (my guess is they figure 2020 Max owners opted for the stock 500 lb midship bags). I know their image for the 4 bags says 1,200 lb rear bags but when I had to have mine replaced because they made them the wrong size (too short) I got new bags and on the box it said 1,350 lb bags or whatever on the box label. If you go in their site and option a Makai which uses the same bags you’ll see it also say they will be 1,345 lbs each side.

Back to the midship bags and storage space, we have moved everything to under the helm and OB storage and were surprised how much crap you can cram in there. I though we would miss the storage space too but so far we still have room and you can always stuff things in there until you want to fill ballast. The rear lockers still have plenty of room on top of the larger Wakemakers bags. I say go for it!!
