    great time had by all I'm sure. Our water is still low 60's so only those that can wear the dry suit get in. Seeing your green loogey is really tempting me to get one. We have the older style yellow loogey. Is there a big difference?

      Its a HUGE difference, no joke. Find a 2007.5 yellow or get a green. You can see RJ doing lip slides and slashing with ease, and he is beginning to learn how to get some air. This was much harder before, because the yellow would perl when you turned into the wake, or put the nose down to gain speed.

      I sent an email to inland a year ago about it, and they said the yellow was designed for smaller wakes, but now people are putting up bigger wakes, and the yellow did have the tendency to perl, but that they had a new design. So we bought the green the end of last year, just now getting to really play with it.

        That is awsome! That is what family is all about.

        Rags - did you freeride the Red Woody? When do we get to see the thread "Giants can surf too"?

          I am going to be getting a blue lake this week, for ashley to replace our cybershapes, she likes to cruise. I plan on getting the red woody in june. I can't wait to just see the red woody on my tower. Have you seen one in person? I saw lance from inland walking with one at Worlds last year, before they came out. I was in love.

          Lance also told me they have a quad fin loogey, and I am thinking of getting one also since I will have 4 kids using the loogey, give them some choice, and RJ is really taking off. I think the quad will act a bit more like a thruster and help him get some more speed, not sure. Prob not as good for spins though, but so far, he doesn't do that so much.

          I will have to post another thread....

              Rag, have you tried out the Blue Lake yet? If you haven't, I have one that you could borrow for awhile if you are down in the area....

                Santa left my wife a 2007.5 yellow under the tree. She loves it. I can freeride it, but I have to really make sure to stay right in the pocket. My Red Tide is much more forgiving at my weight (265 lbs).

                Check out www.boardersmall.com for some sweet deals on left over 2007.5 yellows.

                    Just wanted to make sure because we have one that we are not using at this point. Not trying to sell it either but thought that I would offer.

                      Rags - I have not seen the Woody in person. I have 2007.5 Red. I am actualy trying to sell it (want a Blue Lake). That quad fin loogey is carbon also... and big bux. That has to be a half years worth chores for RJ.

                        NP, I may have taken you up on it, but mine is already on the way, ordered it a couple of days ago.

                        I thought the quad was only carbon, but Lance sent me an email like its not only carbon. I sent him a reply to clarify, will report back. The pictures on the site do NOT do the woody justice. It is BEAUTIFUL. When I get mine I will try to take some really good pics and post.

                            LovinPowell-
                            I hate your "handle" name... and Moki too. August 16th can't come soon enough!!! Looks like it is rising about half a foot a day. My parents took me to Powell at 5. We have not missed a year since (25 years). It is our annual, "no matter what is going on, put it on hold, family week!" Not completely ...

                              Portland, OR; that is a long way from Lake Powell. We have three houseboating trips scheduled this year, one in June, the big one in July (three houseboats, 60+ people) and one in September. Can't wait.
