May Picture and Video Thread

[volzalum 280]

Since its May 2nd and no one else has. Still have to work to get the wave dialed in the river current. Also hit some smooth water so broke out the wakeboards, then preceded to eat the wake rope with the prop. Water temp was 59 at the ramp and 64 where the smooth water was.

That last picture of butter is SWEET!

It was very nice. Until I wrapped the wake rope around the prop and snapped it. First time I've ever caught a line. At least the water was 64 and not 59 then. It was still cold, and of course my mask was still at home.

Yikes, you didn't bend a strut or shaft did you?

LOL. oh no. Guess it's just surfing time from now on! Waves look good!

No, it just cut the rope and wrapped it around a few times. Just a pain to dive under and fight getting it out.

I had a razor blade knife when it happened to me and ended up borrowing another boaters serrated steak knife. My wake rope was one of the thin hard plastic coated lines. A good pair of pointy snips would have worked best. Probably wouldn't have cut myself with the snips either!

[volzalum 280]

Luckily I had a pocket knife on board and managed to not cut myself nor drop the knife. I ordered a new mask and a spare air last night. Hope to never need it since new ropes are $110 bucks a piece, but would've been much easier with the spare air.

Just got back from the lake and the results are in.... the FS33 with stock ballast and only two people in the boat is bloody AMAZING! I'm just transferring the gopro files on to my laptop as I type and should have a couple pics from it up to view in a bit. I'd like to thank Tony from ExtremeBoatsport for taking me out on it today, and Boatnut for having me on his boat with his family while waiting for Tony. Was great getting to watch SurferAdam ride behind his Fs33 from a follow boat. All in all, it was a great day on the water and I am exhausted, sore, and maybe a wee bit burnt too. Feels like summer!

Your welcome anytime!! Felt really fun on the lake today meeting so many people with the same interests!! You guys are welcome anytime on my boat!!! I hope SurferAdam gets that problem fixed asap!!!

My boat is updating the software as I type this, hopefully it sorts itself out. DarksideR any chance you got any video of my run? Not that I did anything all that special but I'd love to review my placement on the wave

I concur, the fs33 impressed the SH*T out of me. I have never seen a stockboat make that kind of wave. Hands down best goofy wave I HAVE EVER Seen and the port is awesome too.

 

What a great job centurion did!! so impressed!

[IROCNParts 108]
