But of course, couldn't leave my tige brethren out. I am going to past in what I posted on ww, but want to give a bit more information here.
We have been hosting different people at our home and taking them wakesurfing, and have been having a blast. Sean Cummings (known as the dollar bill) is a pro wakesurfer and rides for inland surfer. He is a very good guy. He rides and enzo 230 and loves it. He was sponsored by his enzo dealer, that went out of business, but I guess is coming back now, and doing better, mainly with repos I think. They are also a Tige dealer he said. Sean has always pushed the enzo with me and it was genuine, he loved it. When he saw our regular wake, he was surprised and impressed, he definitely liked it. I could tell he still liked his wake better, but he was pleasantly surprised. He was even more surprised, when he said he thought the wake was a bit too steep. So while he was riding i dropped the taps from 6.5 to 4. The top of the wake flattened down, and I could see him smile and then rip it.
So he definitely liked the wake, and said he thought the wake was great. Then I hit 2 switches, and we went swimming for about 15 minutes while the boat emptied reg and filled goofy. We get back in boat and start pulling for RJ or Whitney, I don't remember. Now he was stoked. He was VERY surprised and vocal about how he couldn't believe we were throwing a great wake on both sides. I am not posting this on ww because he still loves the enzo, and I don't want to make waves, but he definitely was surprised and made it clear he cannot make a decent wave on the goofy side. At the end of the day, he asked me if I thought the RZ4 would do the same. I told him that if the deck was switched like I did, I felt it would be the same. He said he was going to go to his dealer and see about a demo on the RZ4. Pretty cool, huh? Sean is an ambassador, he is ALWAYS giving lessons and teaching kids and stuff. It would be cool to see him in a Tige someday, but who knows, it may never happen. I did my part though.
Ok, so here is what I posted:
Last week we had a REALLY great time hosting Sean Cummings and his girlfriend Heather Jones. We have gotten to know them as a family at a few of the contests we have gone to. Sean is an Inland Surfer rider and I would have to say an all around good guy. I am very protective of my kids and I remember noticing this young guy messing around with Maddie (11), T-Bone (8), and Jesse (4). This always grabs my attention, because most young guys don't pay much attention to young kids. I saw right away that he was genuinely playing with them and they really enjoyed his company. So you can say that I couldn't help but like Sean right away. He invited us to meet up with him sometime to demo some IS boards for the kids.
Heather was also very playful with my kids, and my older girls really liked her. I think they said something like, "she is really nice, and isn't a ho at all". Girls are tough, aren't they? Anyway, Heather is cute as a button and the best way I could describe her is a line from a TV show we watch sometimes called the IT Crowd.
"She has SPUNK and BALLS, and I like that in a woman."
When they first came to the house we ate lunch and got ready for our first session on the lake. Heather started talking about one of her favorite movies, "Anchorman". I told her I liked ferrell in several movies, but Anchorman wasn't my favorite. She stopped, gave me this look like she wanted to rip out my heart with a spoon, and said "Well you are just a big blueberry." You have to picture that she is 5 foot nothing, and maybe 110lbs and she is standing directly in front of this 6'2" 400lb mexican and looked like she was ready to take me on if necessary. I think I told Sean she was definitely a keeper at that point.
So we took lots of pictures and video. Sean and I also filmed 4 "How To" videos that will be in our new 201 series showing you how to do several tricks. I am very excited and will finish these up in the next few days. So on to the pictures, I have about 200, and I have widdled down to about 70, I am going to see how many I can post here, I think you will enjoy.
**NOTE**
I normally don't post a bunch of pictures, its a bit time consuming. I wrote a piece of software that prepares the images perfectly for the ww requirements, so makes it alot easier. I just prepared 70 images by dragging them on my software and it took about 2 mins. So hopefully this will make the process more streamlined. I am all about WORKFLOW.
Now on to the images, these are in time sequence.
Throwing a 180 shuvit
Didn't make the first one, and he does his signature "fail" move, asking God "Why?" lol
Did I mention she was a keeper? I think this was one of those faces she would give me when I said something sarcastic.
Sean riding backwards on his Moss. Makes it look as easy as riding forward.
Sean riding switch. He does this funny thing with his right arm, you will have to wait for the video. Funny thing was, when RJ was riding switch, he does the same thing.
This is a great shot of Sean throwing a 360 shuvit.
That green and black with the IS logo, looks great on the bottom of the board.
One of Sean's signature moves, the "Gun Show". Its a fun variation of Hanging 5. The pose looking up to the sky actually makes it harder to keep your balance, and is fun to do. We did a short "How To" video on this trick, along with the 180 shuvit, and backside 180 to switch.
