Who else is riding?

That's an interesting aircraft. Kinda looks like Steadfast.

I take that back. That is a Seafury.

Thanks MooseX!

A Nick: Kraco! I had one of their fine 8-track players when I was in High School. I wonder if that's why my hearing is shot? Does anyone remember getting the tap stuck and pulling out 200 feet of tape?

You're welcome to a pull, we'll be going out until there's snow at Sugar bowl (yes!). I don't mind packing it up and shipping it either.

Can you really tell what type of plane that is from this pictures? I can barely make out the outline.

One more 360 from me! I landed 5 over the weekend!

[MooseX]

yeah dad can spin! Hey now we need some video of the whole show..love video behind a boat

[Surfdad]

Ask and 'ye shall receive! This is probably the worst quality video EVER, but it does show my first 3 for the day! Just pretend you left your glasses at work.

You have to stick with it, that 30 second lead-in is part of my routine I swear if I alter that, I can't land the 3!

nice 360 - good going!! no comment on the focus-been there too.

Yup. Would you like to know which aircraft it is? It's this one. http://www.sandersaircraft.com/aircraft_argonaut.asp There's a few shots of it in the NCAR thread.

I know, I know, NERRRRRD!

Nickypoo - no way on the nerd thing. I love the airplanes too and like to see your posts. got my pilot's license in collage and loved to fly but gave it up since the wife was no fan and boating was the main hobby she does. Maybe we need an airplane forum.

[NICKYPOO]

Thanks j. Nice to know I'm not the only one.

[Surfdad]

Loving this warm weather so late in the season.

[jbort]

nice lookin pics

[Surfdad]

The weather has been amazing! Although I'm still holding out hope that there will be snow in the mountains by Thanksgiving!

I had a great time on the Lakewakes, that was a fun board. Having "belly" was a different sensation. I don't think I know of any other wakesurf boards with a convex bottom. It's not really a displacement hull, but has some of those characteristics. Definately a different sensation from the typical planing we're used to. You're more "in the wake". Anyway, it was a blast.

[jbort]

good info on the board - thx thx thx. As for snow ya got 4 weeks til the holiday - its "surfs up" til then (maybe).

[MooseX]

surfdaddio'! nice. Hey am I seeing things or are you riding goofy in two of those pics?

[Surfdad]

Thanks guys! HEY MooseX who are you calling goofy! Yeah, backside switch or goofy. I snowboard during the winter and a few years back I tried riding switch wakesurfing as a way to keep in practice for snowboarding. I'm not sure that it worked as planned, but it's definately fun! I have so few tricks behind the boat being able to ride switch almost DOUBLED that count!

[MooseX]

that's awesome surfdaddio..damn that's not easy. Myself I'm a natural goof' but when I tried regular this summer it was a mess. My first mate is also a snowboarder and she's does the switch with ease. AND now that we've added an extra pump our fill time is a cool 3 1/2 min so she can do both within the same session
