funny thing is that I'm looking at that pic thinking, "hmmm that'd protect my bald noggin... and probably protect my ears on a flubbed up invert."

How funny would that be? you see someone cruisin' by on a board w/ that thing and a black drysuit on? hmmm theres an idea! of course, you'd have to make sure that the butt part of the suit is shiny... just to be authentic. HAH!

Jim,

Going back to the surfing issues, I found a pic of this guy and he looks like he might be pushing 270. I think that is an inland surfer board he is on, seems to be staying up fine.

Wake Havasu,

Real estate here has been crazy! It has grown by leaps and bounds. I built my own house just in time, but wish I had been able to predict the future a few years ago. We are not yet like California, but a large half acre lot used to be 50K, now its 200K+ in just 2-3 years. I came here 6 years ago because it was kind of a sleepy quiet little town, now it is congested and noisy...

Tall,

From the posts on Wakeworld, I think I remember that board being a custom that Surfdad created. Not 100% sure though.

The inland surfer red board is supposed to be good for the big guys.

I believe you're absolutely correct on that one tequila.

I'm with NICKYPOO on this. Nobody, I mean nobody like to be in my boat when I pull my kids tubing. Even I get queazy from my driving My wife and I are weaning the kids off slowly. Now I pawn them off on my buddy's boats (after I lend my buddy's kids our tubes)

Remember, friends don't let friends tube!

Chalk one up for the Kid?

Thanks tequila,

I guess we can tell Jim that it looks just like that one, but is red.

I heard that Kitetubing (while we are on the tubing subject) has been outlawed in your neck of the woods - what have you heard? I saw it on a press release.

I understand that Kite tubes have been outlawed at Lake Powell after multiple injuries there. I have heard it from several people, but have yet to see it in print.

Tall,

Yeah, the Corp of Engineers has banned those Kite tubes of death from their lakes in the Little Rock District. Same for Oklahoma.

I'm indifferent on the issue, since I wasn't going to get one any way.

Tall:
My brother called the Park Supervisor and confirmed that kite tubes are not illegal at Lake Powell, not only kite tubes, but parasails as well. They told them that basically anything that would go higher than 15 feet in the air is now against the law.

I guess I'll have to lower my wakeboard jumps from now on

On another note, will you be camping at the sandhill in Navajo or staying on a houseboat. We used to go to that sandhill every year, but then all of the traffic made the water conditions undesirable, that's when we moved to warm creek.

Spoke with Jeff and Inland Surfer. Very helpful person. Decided on the Red Tide as the Green Room is no longer available. He gave me the special price even though it ended on Saturday. Board shipped today and hopefully will be trying it out next week.

sorry i gave you the wrong model, i didnt know they changed it to the red tide. Maybe TallTige should get that one! GO UTES!

The big guy on the yellow board is 270 the board was made by Jerry price of shred stixx. He is amazing to watch especially for his size. I have had him behind my ve a few times giving me lessons. His name is Dennis or Dennish on w.w. He is really getting me up and running. The first thing he did was bring his fat sack to convince me that i needed one. He was right. There was no comparison. That board makes my 58" Shred Stixx look small.

Recieved a package today. My Red Tide arrived. Fast shipping. Can't wait to try it out. Hopefully I can take a few days off next week. Sweet looking board.

In case anyone was still wondering about kite tubes at Lake Powell, here is a reference to the National Park Service's declaration.
