WTG SUE!

OK, Y'all makin' me jealous that you can still surf down south.

Our boat has been winterized for 6 weeks now...having...withdrawls...already...

Gonna' be a long winter.

I hear ya! Sue is looking great on the board and is well on her way to tossing the rope I we can get together more next year

We'd love to and let us know. We had a blast last time. Have a good Holiday!

Great video. BTW, you can surf all winter with a dry suit.

Also, one other thing. I noticed when Sue was falling forward she still had the rope in her hand and it had some slack in it. Please get a surf rope with some braiding near the handle because that wakeboard rope will have a tendency to wrap itself around a limb and that's a bad way to end the fun.

Great job on the surf wake!

Dogbert _ good idea. thats a winter project. thx

BTW, you can make one yourself if you have an old wakeboard rope. If it's got a braided end hear the handle, just cut off the handle. Alternatively, if you can find a trick ski handle (that's basically wide enough for one hand), just put it on there.

I have some pics on here somewhere...



This is the one we made...I've since acquired a couple more. The one I like the best is the braided handle.
