Whole weekend on the lake for us and not a single pic taken. Way to go Dusty, way to go.

[scotthons]

We spent the weekend in California with friends and family. We did not have our boat, but got some quality time on my parent's boat and uncle's boat. I took two pictures from the entire weekend. One was a shot of the Sheriff getting towed in by a Sanger and the other was of my uncle's Supra. Sorry for the poor quality. They were both taken from my phone.

[wotan2525]

ScottinAZ -- What board is that? I've been experimenting on my friends Walker Towanza and feel like I need to add (yet another) board to my quiver.... I'd like one a little bigger than his since I'm a fatass. Thoughts on that board??

[ScottnAz]

Shane, I cracked a big smile when I saw that picture of Jessica. She was sooo pumped, good memories :)

Steve, great pics. What was the air/water temps for you? We were right around 100/80 all weekend.

Towing in the Sheriff is really laying the ground work for good relations :D The Sheriff's at our lake this weekend were riding around 4-5 per Sheriff's boat. We couldn't really figure out why?

The board is last years James Walker Pro model (4.9), and I have a great time on it. I believe the Towanza board is the Bullet model with a wider nose and thinner rail. It should be a great all around board. What's your riding style (aggressive, airs, spins?), and how big is your ass? I'm 6'2"/205 and very aggressive, that's how I get away with riding a smaller board. Takes much more work, but is also more rewarding....IMO. What other boards are in your quiver?

Here it is... http://www.towanza.com/surf-shop/towanza/towanza-ruthless

My buddy has the 4'6 quad fin and I think it's too small for me @ 6'2 225lbs... I can ride it but it's a constant battle and I tend to go over the nose pretty easily. It rides COMPLETELY different than anything else I have though.... I'm not sure if it's the quad fins or the shape or the aggressiveness but... I like it!! I would say I'm an intermediate rider, sticking about 50% of my 360s and just starting to get air... Current boards:

Liquid Force Custom 4' 6"
Inland Surfer Black Pearl 4' 8"
Walzer 56" Twin Fin Custom
Phase 5 Oogle 57"
The Walker Project Composite X 4.8
Hyperlite Coex 5'6"
Hyperlite Landlock 5'11"

So... you can see where the hole in my quiver is and it's right where I "should" be riding. I think I've been seeing all the small pros riding small boards and I've neglected to buy something that is intermediate/advanced that I can progress on. I'm thinking of selling or trading one of my smaller boards (though I'm really attached to all of them, even if I can't ride them) for something more suited to my size. Ideas? Opinions?

[JoHNI_T]

[87SunSportMikeyD]

I always surf port side (passanger) which is the way the prop spins too. Goofies learn heelside hehe! Once and a while I am nice,.,..

[jaywidhalm]

My second time surfing, but got it without the rope...I guess its better than the first try...and on passenger side. This is still with no ballast...I guess its surfable...like Mikey said.

[jaywidhalm]

A few more from last week...the wife up on the board

[wotan2525]

Not a picture but a good video of some of our July 4th weekend adventures... (I'm sure the first thing you guys will notice is the cooler full of water balloons for the slingking beast.... right?)

[Mani]

There were water balloons in the first few seconds of that video? Must have missed it. :p

[jaywidhalm]

I know scott...working on one piece at a time! It will get there someday...hopefully soon.

[Fman]

Jay, nice wakeboard, surf and slalom shots! I am going out Thursday, hope to get some new pics... we have been going out weekly just have not brough the camera along. Wake looks real nice for boarding, clean!!!!

Not sure if you are running the 750 rears, but they will really help your wake for surfing.... all you will need to do is extend the fill line and you are good to go.

[jaywidhalm]

Thanks Travis...now remember your camera!!:D

[Gsquared]

Took my son and 5 of his buddies out to the lake for his birthday. They had a blast and I got all but one up on the surfboard. my son and one other were free riding at will.

I got my new fat sac in this week. Can't wait to try her out this weekend. I'll make sure and get some action shots!

I'm in San Diego for a while....... so not riding, post up some pics to scratch my itch!

[wakejmpr]

figured i would post a pic. riping the walker board 4.10 on the big lake michigan in the chi. just got it and its super bad ass had to ride it and let me tell you water temp is in the mid 60's and no wet suit. Yeah its the middle of july and still cold as balls.

[87SunSportMikeyD]

Hey jmpr nice to see you get out into the lake a ways!! Sure is cool! Go around a tanker sometime! :) We used to board a lot in Superior. Had to stay in shallow or in the harbor if you want warm water.

[mapleleaf]

Yeah I was just in LK MI up north on the east side of the lake and it was def. cold as balls.......Nice work board'in out there......

[wakejmpr]

Usually out there every week. Keep the boat slipped in diversey harbor right on the lake. Once you get used to the water it ain't so bad

Awesome shots PoPz!

Here are a few POVs pics from over the weekend taken with my GoPro. The boat tied up to mine is a buddy's 89' CC Martinique all original in show room condition with 200 hrs on the 454, pretty sweet for an old school DD.

Hey Steve what are those funny things on your hands?? :) Have you ever ridden behind the Matinique? It was in my consideration set when purchasing.

Those are industrial "extremity protectors" to keep my girly little hands from becoming tired :p When you get my age you do everything you can to make it easier on your body.

Never ridden behind the CC, its set up for slalom and I've always had my boat out when we're on the lake together.

lol,, everyone bugs me about gloves too,, not that I wakeboard much but I like gloves mostley when the rope is ripping through your hands because your buddy cant drive worth crap... lol

Just a little rope swing we found on the Mississippi in st. paul, mn this weekend....

Great pics this month!! There's a couple days left, so let's finish strong.
I don't have anything great right now, but here's one......

My wife and I in San Diego. Our 15 year old took the picture. I'm wearing a "Ryan Decker Race Team" shirt. This kid is a 14 year professional jetski racer that we know. He's an unbelievable talent on a ski, and a truly great and personable kid. So you guys can keep up with him..... http://rdracingteam.com/

[jaywidhalm]

Is that Marli written in the sand? Your wife's name?

[ScottnAz]

I didn't even notice that Jay, but my wife's name is Lorrie.
We're actually standing on rock. It was amazing how deep some of the carvings were, although I think some of those Cali kids have nothing better to do than sit out there on a rock, smokin' some ... and carving their names in the rock.
We would go out during low tide times to see what we could find in the tide pools, in an attempt to educate the kids about something other than video games and TV. We found a ton of starfish, anemone's, and crabs. Disappointed we didn't see an octopus or something cool.

Nice lil education for the kids..... just think , it could be the gulf and you could have discovered a bunch of tar balls

Ouch!
Give us the details

[Mani]

Oh dear God. I hope you're alright. You can't just put up a picture like that without a story.

[wotan2525]

i can't find it now, but I have a similar picture of my friend. He was helping my girlfriend get up for her first time on a surfboard... she crashed... the board submarined and went under water about 20ft and came up and hit im in the head. blood all over the place but a very minor cut.

[chrisk]

Haha, yeah this was a buddy of mine on the 4th. Same kinda thing - he was surfing for the first time, he fell and the board managed to slice across his head. I'm thinking it was the fin of the board though because the rail was too thick to make that kind of a cut. He was fine though, he's the kind of guy that was more worried about getting a picture of his bleeding head rather than stopping the bleeding.

[87SunSportMikeyD]

Great pics but we're gonna need a new thread for Aug!!!

[chrisk]

I would start an August thread if my river wasn't flooded right now..... leaving me grounded and resorting to longboarding and this thing people call "work" to pass the time...

[ScottnAz]

Great pics but we're gonna need a new thread for Aug!!!
