It's not the lake, or the boat, but sure is a pretty view and relaxing! Nice little change for a couple of days. Destin Fl

Pulled the boat back to the ‘home’ area for the summer….

Definitely noticed the extra 1000lb of lead in there but the new (to me) truck worked like a champ!

And now I really notice the guide pole covers look thrashed after one season, anyone know who makes a set that will last longer?

Be careful Dukabor. BC has stricter trailering laws than Alberta. From your pic's it doesn't look like you have the EOH brake package on that trailer.

In addition, you're boat weight is 5200 lbs + 1000 lbs lead + 360 lbs fuel + batteries/gear/speakers/etc. Getting pretty close to the 6900 lbs max for the boatmate trailer.

Be aware and stay safe.

Thanks, and you are right, no EOH, was going to scale the boat and trailer to see where I am at exactly, that was whole dilemma on adding lead and not just going with ballast bags…. And everything adds up when you start loading up….. with the mountain passes around here it’s no joke thats for sure…. Luckily I have a moorage for the summer which is about 20 minutes away so should alleviate the issue of constant trailering (they even have a fuel station!)…. But you are absolutely right on understanding the numbers…. Even on the trucks there is plenty of advertised weight ratings that really dwindle as you start adding gear and people as well!

Edit: just double checked the trailer GVWR and it showed 8200 lbs

Maybe put the lead bags in the back of the truck if you have to tow very far. Especially in the mountains. Less trailer weight pushing you on braking.

Pounding beers on the foil what a great day!

Is that your new wing?

No its not. It's got so much lift I could hardly ride it. I've been scared to get back on it. Now that I am adjusted to the new board I will try it again this weekend. You need to text me bud I lost your number!

Oh crap, I will shoot you a msg on the text thread. We need to hook up.

Blaine was saying the same thing. He rode Josh's HA Lift Wing last week, Said it was tough to tame. Plus, he rode it on that short carbon board, which make it even more squirrelly.

I'm really looking forward to trying it but got really frustrated when I couldn't keep it down.

Here's my oldest trying to surf, I can't figure out how to teach them to putt some topside pressure on the board to come towards the wave.

Seeing that rope behind him is giving me anxiety! One wrong fall and it could be nasty. I would for sure shorten that rope so that it’s only long enough to keep him in the sweet spot of the wave.

Nice pics everyone!
