Very cool. My 7 yr old is wanting to learn also and I found a place that gives lessons 45 min from our house. Going to sign him up for a few and see what he thinks. Congrats

Thanks Berg. We bought him the board for Christmas and in June we were at Ouachita and everybody on the boat had been wakeboarding. He said "daddy I think I want to try" so I put him on the surf rope to get him up and the rest is history. I'm in awe every time he gets out there because his progression is crazy fast. He's going to need some real lessons ASAP.

Spent an hour+ last night exploring a new area only to find weed covered shallows, creepy looking shantys, and dead heads at every halfway decent looking spot. Then hauled ass upstream to our usual island beach. Nice night but rough for much of anything besides chillin.



My shadow - He was happy to go, but just doesn't have it in him anymore. Can only swim a little, no climbing or jumping, can barely shake the water off without falling down. Poor old guy.



Found a smouldering fire and the boys stoked it up without too much effort.



Not bad for a DIY led and murky river water!

Where was this "new spot"? It's obvious where you ended up.

You know where I'll probably end to tonight. my special place where "too rough" rarely happens until I'm back in the main channel heading to the dock and seeing all those stupid sailboats...

Shane, nice work with the little guy!

My son tried out a wakeboard for the first time on the cable when we were at TSR for the wakesurf comp. He likes telling people about his faceplants and how his mouth bled. We had to drag him off the thing when they were closing up at 10pm.

Thanks Drew, Yeah, he will burn through half a tank a day now. He will ride until he cannot hold on to the rope any longer. He's going to force me to upgrade sooner than I wanted with all the hours we are racking up... I guess its not a bad problem to have.

I could tell you but then I'd have to kill you.




Same vicinity as your special place but we were looking for beach to dump the dogs and let the kids play. Wasn't happening back there.
