2012 Mead Reunion Pics and Video

[Wakeman22]

Starting this thread for picture and video posts from the Reunion. So all those of you that have pics and I know there was video too. Post them up here and share why we are all here as Tige' Owner's, and a few other Boats. And that's the fun and relaxation that being out on the water doing a sport we can all participate in.

For those of you who could not make it you missed out on a lot of fun in a warm lake with perfect temps. We all had fun as can be seen in the pictures.

Here is the new 2013 RZ4. Provided by the local Tige' dealer in Las Vegas. Check out Tige' Boats of Las Vegas. They are great.

Thanks a lot for the boat. It was great hit and was wonerful to check out the newest boat in person and out on the water.

One of the best riders and the best guys out there. Dominic Lagace. He rode behind many boats and showed us all a full lineup of tricks. He also taught everyone of us something new. And if you watched close many different things from riding to boat setup. Big thanks to him.

Can't say enough about him.

Had another great TO Mead Reunion! Every year it is great to meet new friends and catch up with old ones. And it seems that everyone is always enjoyable, helpful, and fun.

Special thanks to Bad05 (John) for all his hard work to organize and coordinate things, Tige Boats for sending Ben Pigeon, Dom Legace, and Chase Hazen, along with gifts for everyone and a Pimp My Tige prize. Also thanks to the local dealer, Motion Watersports, for their involvement, bringing the 2013 RZ4, putting up service prizes, providing lunch for all, and helping with the shirts! And all the other sponsors deserve a huge thank you - Acme Propellers, Mike's Liquid Audio, Wet Sounds, Box Anchor, Speaker Sox, Haney's Auto-Marine Care, Theisen Industries, and any others that I forgot to mention. Your support is very much appreciated!

I wish that I had more decent pictures, but most of the time my boys were the photographers. Let's just say that I had a lot of pictures, but the quality of most is less than ideal. Anyway, on with the show.

Sat morning, behind my boat, Wakeman22



Dan of Dan and Christy fame



Some of the boats lined up in slips during lunch on Sat





After lunch Chase was kind enough to come out on our boat for a while and make our jaws drop with his display of skills. Just a phenominal athlete, and the pics don't do it justice. He is also a super nice guy and gives instruction well.

And Wakeman22 again

My son Aidan has tried to surf a couple times this summer, but just hadn't figured out how to get up. He would then get discouraged and go back to waterskiing on his trainer skis. But he was excited to see Dom and Chase - they stoked his excitement to try again, and they both were giving him tips and suggestions as he tried over and over. Aidan first got up while working with Dom on Fri night (I was on another boat and didn't get pics! ), and then again with Chase Sat afternoon. He kept at it on Sun, and he is fired up to learn to keep going for more than a few seconds. Here are a number of pics, in no particular order.



















Funny - working with Dom on Fri, Aidan seemed to do better riding goofy. But he was riding regular on Sat with Chase and on Sun. Hopefully he keeps working on both.

Finally, while he wasn't as interested this weekend in getting behind the boat, my other son Riley was always hopping around on different boats and had a fantastic time, too.

Surfing wasn't the only thing happening. There was also wakeboarding, wakeskating, hydrofoiling, skiing, and even barefooting. But I didn't end up with pics of any of those. Grrr...

Ok. More pics.

There was some wakeboarding going on.

I only got a few pics from the boat I was on. However There were wakeboarders behind some of the other boats.

Perhaps there are others with pics to share.
