09 Lake Mead Reunion pics...

[SPBFAN]

Here is some pics I will post more. I have a lot of good pics of Nick W boarding. One of the pics I will post is him in the air when we made contact with the Rock. You will know that pic because his rope is completely slacked and it looks like he is going to land on top of the wake.

My Son starting to like the Knee board thing after a few tips from Nick W This is Friday night before I hit the rock.


Nick W Boarding behind the boat Friday night.




Me wake surfing It is only water I am drinking. I have been waiting and working towards doing this now for a few years behind my boat. Finally got a wake to do it with then I wreck my boat after only the second trip to the lake after getting it dialed in.:


A close family freind


My son's freind finally got up on the surf board after trying all summer.


Nick W driving the boat. My son on the left and the right his our family freind.



MOKI BOAT



A good add for TIGE Wake Surf. This is my son 5'7 standing up in the wake. Look where the tip of the wake surf is that is his front foot and where the water is right at his shoulders. NOW THAT IS A WAKE. I don't think my boat will be making that wake anytime soon again.


TallTigeGuys and My Boat in the morning after waking up.


Go U of U TallTigeGuy.


My Boat 2 hours before impact and KO.


Where my son thought it would be a good idea to try and sleep with out any protective gear except a swim suit and a tee shirt. In the middle of the night he climbed on the boat and brough half the beach with him. It added extra ballast for the riders the next day.


The paparazzi


TallTigeGuys MC and my TIGE. I don't know what the two of them together make.


Nick Weinacker right over the rock that took out the boat. Look at the slack in the rope and he is looking down at the big rock we just hit. That is how we knew what we hit. What is amazing is that Nick went back to the rock and said it was about 3.5 to 4 feet down. He and I are trying to figure out how it happened. My next post will be the damage photos.

Now for the fun photos again

Here is the CWB winners, The babes boat bright winners and other items that the manufactures sponsored for the event. They certainly appreciate the TO members support each year. I appreciate it also. Lets keep this going for next year also by supporting the manufactures.

Next year my BOAT STAYS HOME though. I will bring the wave runners. Easier to pull and they have a very low draft and won't find rocks.

I forgot mention at the hotel someone backed into the boat trailer and smashed my fender last night. They left no note for me or anything. I did not even notice it until TIGEMATT ran into us in the morning by chance and we pulled over for him to look at the boat. Then my son pointed it out to me. FRUSTRATING. I just wanted to get home from this weekend in one piece.




Even when the motor is not running it has a great wake, Of course with out MOKI this wake never would have happened. I thought about grabing a surf boat and surfing it but was not sure how I would get picked up if I fell.





















I know I weight a lot this year but I did not expect to have to use a rope this size to tow me. THANK YOU for the tow MOKI.

Glad I had something useful on the boat for a change .

It was huge. I will have to ship it back to you. G-Money held on to it to try and get it back to you. He has it. I will try to get it back as fast as I can. If you don't see it in the next week or so let me know. Don't let me forget to get it back to you. It is now in CA on vacation.

god I have to make one of these trips..........Great Pics Guys!

[Fast1911]

more awesome pics guys

Sorry to hear about the boat SP, that sucks man

[KonaKing]

I will have my pics posted tomorrow. Just got home. Editing photos. I am very sad that my boat got broke I will post pics. I am so grateful no one got hurt and the boat hull on a TIGE IS AMAZING. TIGE builds the strongest boat hands down. If it were a bu or a mastercraft it would have sunk.

sorry to hear that Andrew

[da.bell]

Looks like a great trip guys. always having fun like we should.

Didn't Tige send the Pimp-my-Tige this year? Who won that? What about the stereo contest?

SPBFan, if you want, you can drive to Sacramento if you want a tow. Sorry to hear about your boat. I think I would have cried if that happened to my boat.

I don't know if the stereo contest ever happened. Most folks hit the water right after the raffle prizes were awarded. I didn't see/hear if it went off or not.

Pimp my Tige was, I guess, a victim of the economy. I know Matt asked Tige about it, but he must've been told no.

wow looks like a great time!!

Sorry I missed it.

Sorry about your boat SPBfan!

So you guys couldn't get bam bam, but the nice replacement in the yellow Tige shirt

I guess the stereo showdown and pimp my Tige prize kind of both fizzled out. I know Andrew's stereo sounded great. Bad O5 was still working with a few tuning issues and I think I could hear it roar once Andrew did some tweaking with it. We all sort of just let it rip once the raffle was over. Next year we can make a set time for the raffle and stereo showdown, then whoever wants to make it, can do it. Probably should have been done just before the raffle. It didn't help that after standing for the raffle and lunch for an hour in the 100 degree heat, we were all anxious to get back on the water. It was warmer than usual for this time of the year. But the water was epic.

Well with it being warmer I think we get a lot more participation from the whole family. Which helps with the turn outs. All in all even with the smack to the rock it was an amazing day and great to see everyone I already knew and great to meet new people. I appreciate everyone and all that was put into this.

Big thanks to Russ, Andrew and Michael the photographer for taking Melissa and I wakesurfing, I think she's hooked. Please visit the gallery for more pictures and larger versions: http://gallery.me.com/dayvid#100182

I am so glad she got up. To be honest helping her learn put my focus on something other than how I was going to get my boat fix the right way and returned to operation. So thanks for letting me help. I hope she does not get gun shy of the water. She told me she was going to buy a nose plug. I told her she has one built in to her hand. she just laughed. It was great to be on the water with you two and MOKI. Again thanks for letting me tag along and be a part of it.

the water was epic.

That's why no one including you was about to sit around for another hour listening to ear piercing music. I want to check out that boat sometime, it looked pretty comfortable even with the 13 people in it Saturday morning and those NVS's still sound great.
