OK, the pictures I took at world, I posted the library here:

They were from my boat so not so great. There was a pro photog on the tow boat, and I was able to buy pictures of my kids from him. When my kids rode the centurions before, they came off saying, it wasn't much bigger, or bigger at all than our wake. And they didn't like the shape as much.
This time was different. These boats were seriously weighted with lead and sacs.
So here are the new pictures.
These are of RJ on starboard. The camera angle doesn't do the wake justice.
OK, these are my favorite, especially the second. Maddie was the youngest out there, and she only had one grab and one pose, but she REALLY took it serious. I love the perfect feet positioning. These are better pictures of the wake, the announcer was laughing, because on the pass where she was on the far side from the shore, you just saw the blue helmet bob in view and out of view, behind the huge wake.
This is the only pic he got of Whitney. Not the most flattering. We call this trick, THE DUMP. You figure it out.
Nice tongue work by Ashley, huh? Ash is my only regular foot rider. On this side the photog got a bit lower, and you can really get a good look of the wake. It was a monster.

Ragboy is right we try and encourage the youngsters. At the INT contests, if the young ones don't podium we have a set of special awards - typically 5 per event and we make every effort to insure that yougsters or newbies get an award. "Best Effort" or something similar.
