New RZ2

[infotom]

They asked me where I wanted it shipped, etc. I told them CalMarineSports in Suisun City. I am hoping next week, but I don't know for sure. Will let you know.

I thought Cal Marine closed their doors

In your Get 'Em Up wakesurf video, you mention the surf nub on the side of the tower. For the other side, no such nub exists so you loop the rope around the tower.

Any ideas as to how to pull from one side on the Alpha Z? I guess you could drill and mount a nub. After seeing your loop solution, I think I will try looping through the hand hold on the side of the top bar of the Alpha Z.

Per Ragboy inspiration, I looped the surf rope through the hand hold (tried both port and dark) on the Alpha Z tower. And ... it worked PERFECT. I kick myself for surf towing from the center until now. This makes driving SO MUCH EASIER! The rider just pops into the sweet start spot! This will especially make a huge difference when teaching people to get up.

I had the standard bimini up and the rope did not interfere or snag. I did not try it with the extended bimini yet.

That's great to hear. I'll try it next weekend with my extended bimini. Great idea.

Dang, I completely forgot about trying this yesterday. I have the extension on as well. Look forward to hearing out it works with the extension.

We are working on another way, instead of having to slipknot the whole rope through. I will let you know how it works.

We test and play around a lot, the idea of towing from the side for surfers is one of those things that I think everyone will do eventually, it really makes sense. I talked to Samson about someday having 3 tows on towers. I will have to talk to Tige about it also.

First, it is SO much easier for a new person to stay on the side, and NOT have to drop in, and second, it is so much easier to give the rope to the rider when you come back. The only down side we have had, is that the rope can more easily get hung up on a rack or board on the side, you just have to check before hitting it.

We have been doing this for almost 2 full seasons now and we just DO NOT tow from the center anymore, it just doesn't make sense.

Well, I thought I had gotten the last images, but I was WRONG. I got this gift in my inbox this AM. Dude, I can't wait.

[lohe]

WOW!!!

[samw]

VERY NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[wallacmc]

Wow, that looks even better with those white speakers. Also, I see that they switched out the seat for you. I love the vision air after you have been in the water. You really don't even need a towel.

Looks like someone got the vision chair after all:

[lohe]

Maybe the other chair was installed for lake testing before the Vision air was read?

Bad ***

[ragboy]

I sent danny a note, that I didn't specify chair, but if possible to switch out, great, if not, no sweat. He must have had it switched out.

[ragboy]

This is the part that has me feeling my shorts get tight (sorry) ...



You can clearly see that the outside speakers are PRO 80s, and the inside are PRO 60s. The boat we demo'd, the red one from the festival had 4 PRO 60s, and the beige one had 2 PRO 80s. I can't WAIT to hear this sucker.

Those might be MB-8s. They are the same size and would actually be a better fit for surfing.
