Kjo finally got his 2006 Sanger V210 running, so we took it out on the bay tonight for a quick session. This thing seriously rips! Turns out someone had previously tried to start it dry and burned up the impeller and chipped the flywheel. $600 later it runs perfectly! The wake behind it is unbelievable, not super wide but huge lips that just ramp you up off of them. I was clearing the wake pretty easily (the nice water in the bay at 5pm on a sunday didn’t hurt either). We had a much better session than going out Saturday. We finally had some sun, so there were quite a few people out, which makes it pretty much pointless to attempt wakeboarding in the bay. The clouds cold helped keep people away today too, so we got some good water. I’m pretty much over attempting to wakeboard in the bay on weekends. Thinking of just heading to the lake on weekends.
I’m trying to get a lot more serious about wakeboarding this summer, I really want to step it up. I’m looking in to a bunch of instructional videos, and maybe taking lessons. There is a really good 5 disc DVD set called "The Book" that is supposed to be one of the best wakeboarding videos out there. I’m checking out another one called Higher Education too that is supposed to be pretty good. There is a lot of good information on YouTube as well. I know you probably can’t learn a whole lot from watching a video, but for the times I can’t be out on the water I at least want to be learning.
Time to head to bed and go back to slaving away another week at work. Just looking forward to heading out to the river with Kjo and the crew for Memorial day in 2 weeks!
