Nice!! What ballast settings are you using for goofy?

 

I run pnp all full, starboard ramfill 100%, port ramfill 20%, cats -25, tab between 20 and 50 depending on how many people in the boat. I like 11.1-11.3 for because its easier to land air reverses, alley oops, 720's, so I've been trying to run around there for speed all the time but when I want to go for big air I'll bump it up to 11.5-11.7

Threw together a quick one. Watch my kid be a dork at the very end showing off "his" lake. LOL.

 

Had an old friend come out who had never wake surfed before. Got up first try and even dropped the rope! But he fell pretty quickly after. We haven't been filming too much for a while, so I didn't have much to put into this. But my son riding wireless is there and is the best part!

Wish my boat had more red flake.

Nice vid Dark. Awesome your son went ropeless! My wife and 9 year old got up first time about a month ago so it's exciting to see them progress.

If he keeps at it he'll be a pro before season is over. I'm hoping my oldest daughter can go wireless before season end and wanting my 7 and 5 year old to at least try to get up on the surfboard :)

Nice vid dark! You get so far outta the wake on some of your cuts, I wanna try doing that! Your wife driving reminds me of mine, how they are really really focused and can barley throw a hade wave or talk to anyone lol. Your boy riding rope less, and filming a lot of that was really cool, he looks like he's having a great time :)

Thanks guys. He really does like being out on the boat now. THANK GOD! LOL. That last bit after the song ended of him filming himself cracked me up so bad. I had to put that into a video and share it! The wife is getting to be a little more at ease driving the boat now that we don't have water rolling over the back corner. And she's become a champ at handling the trailer. Puts a lot of the guys to shame at the launch actually. Not that that's hard. :)

Photo of the boards we have been riding. I shaped/built these for kitesurfing years ago and they are working well behind the boat. They are/were quads but we've found that twins are more efficient so I covered the rear slots with foil tape and running FCS G-XQ small quad rears in the front slots. The white board had a thumb tail like the green one until I got out the jig saw.

LOL, heard that. They're way past the bilge pump at that point. it's called abandon ship

I watched that this morning well I was waiting for my crew to show up. The camera man was clearly distracted. boat going down or chick. that is a hard call. I was confused on what the bilge would do for you. Act as a little jet to push the boat around?

My favorite two lines:

 

"Dude is your bilge pump on?"

 

"I lost my beer in all of that"
