post Fun Day at San V

August 18th, 2008

Filed under: wakeboarding — Ian @ 9:46 am

We went out to San V yesterday for a morning sesh, and had a pretty good time.

got the pass for the slalom course, and had some good riding up until we headed out around 12.  Ran into Buzz, Sponge, and Dennis out there, so they came over to the slalom course and drank some beers and rode for a while.  Pretty crazy when we were leaving, saw a friend of ours pull up and he said they had been waiting in Line for over an hour - apparently the lake was at max cap (100 boats) all morning, and people had to leave before they let more on.  Pretty crazy…I haven’t ever seen a line like that at the lake.  Thats why Danielle’s dad always tells me its worth getting up early and going out - you have to get the good water and not wait in line!

Looking forward to the meet up on Aug 31!

Its still in the works…but our 2007 Maxum 1800 SR3 may be trading in soon in exchange for a 2008 Calabria Pro-V wakeboard boat.

Oh and I don’t feel like doing a whole write up - but here’s a ton of pix from the River Memorial Day Trip.  There will be a write up on WBSD!

post Kjo Is Finally In the Water

May 11th, 2008

Filed under: Tonic, wakeboarding — Ian @ 9:11 pm

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!
