looks like nice conditions, and the water isnt green anymore. Nice pics too, how did you do the progressive shots? <BR>Geoff M. goes huge and clean, and is one of the coolest guys to hang with on the boat, and has one of the most rockin systems ive heard. <BR>Love that X-star too

Clubmyke, you're a champ! <BR> <BR>-Blake

Clubmyke, <BR> <BR>Great pics. Looks like you guys had a blast. REALLY sucks that you have to be "ballast", but it won't last forever. I will be at San V Thurs, and probably Fri. Give me a call. Not sute about #'s yet, but should be room for a "ballast/driver". Hang tuff bro!

Thanks for posting the pics. <BR>Great time riding with you guys and LE wouldn't feel right if I didn't see Troy,Thanedogg,Erica though Troy didn't ride and Thanedogg and erica were on the x-star instead of Troy's beautiful SAN It was great talking with all you guy this morning,and Jeff...almost didn't recognize you though the new look works for you.

props to geoff for a great day!!! <BR> <BR>the progressive shot is a nify feature on the sony camera, it is looks really cool when hooked up to the tv (looks like a slow motion transition)) <BR> <BR>thanks buzz!!!! may take you up on the offer..

ClubMyke, <BR>It was a great day out there. It would have been better if you could have ridden! <BR>You forgot to mention that we saw Thanedogg throw that massive 3 behind the X-star. The three we saw was HUUUGE! Thane landed in the flats, there was a big splash of water, but somehow, he managed to ride it away. <BR>You also forgot to mention that Jeff Frew was out representing on the X-star. Always good to see Jeff Frew out there. <BR>Big Ed is so ready to start trying backrolls. From the boat we could see it on his face as he would cut into the wake. On his last set, he was there – riding good and mentally ready, he would have gone for it, but he got a roller from another boat as he was charging in. You could see that the roller broke his concentration … Next time I am sure. <BR> <BR>The pictures of Garrett don’t do him justice. He was riding BIG and SMOOTH! Garrett is on of the few guys I have ridden with that can launch off the wake, rotate a big slow 3, have time to hang out, think about – and sometimes add a 1 to make a 5, then land! I have no clue as to how he does it. It was just amazing being out there with Garrett, I think he said that this was only the second time he had been out since snapping his tib and fib last fall. He was riding great, no fear! (At least not that we could tell from the boat) <BR>Thanks for a great day guys, <BR> <BR>Geoff, BlueMalibu <BR>

Hey nice to see Baily enjoying the day on the <BR> <BR>boat, Steve did you get a chance to ride? Also <BR> <BR>I didn't see any pic's of Jeff Frew... looks <BR> <BR>like everyone had fun...

Thanks for the props on the three geoff, but I can assure everyone that it wasn't all THAT great. Thanks for the pulls Steve, I had a good time. Got to ride the new Hansen shape, the Marius, but the water was so crappy I didn't even hit the wake once. Maybe I'll get to ride it on Monday.....on some good water. <BR> <BR>This was my first ride since January 6th. First time on the water since the tree incident. <BR> <BR>P.S. I was impressed with the X-star. <BR>

the xstar is a great ride....my favorite big boat( bigger than 21 '..)

Is the driver hitting the bottle? <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/crazy.gif" border=0> <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/219346.jpg" alt="1">

Great pics.. love the progressive pic scenes.. HUGE !!!!! <BR>Ed-- looks like you were having great day-- SMOOTH!! <BR>Backroll Ed?... Go for it dude!!! <BR>Mike..hope to see you soon, even if your just hanging out on the boat..

kevin, <BR> <BR>i'm there.... would also like to take my boat out too.. <BR> <BR>

It took me the 1st set to get used to the wake and the second set felt alot better but the water got alittle crappy.Great day regardless!As far as the backroll...It's comin!!

Thanks for the pics Mike. I have some god pics of Ed and will post them later. I left the digi at the in-laws house. Had a great time with all. It was great to see familiar faces at the marina and on the lake. As always Geoff was a great host with his MaliBLUE. It was great meeting Ed and Mike. My knees hurt when I see Geoff land those huge jumps out in the flats. Not to mention his tall tantrums. BigAirEd turned it up on his second set. ClubKneeMike- Great pics and great attitude. You'll be stomping it again b4 U know it. I can't believe how fast these last six months have gone by. <BR>Geoff Hinds- Beside the water level ready to spill into the west marina parking lot, I was amazed at the color of the water. I could almost see my board when it was under water. <BR> <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/happy.gif" border=0> <BR>

Garret: I forgot to mention, good to see you not only back on the water but charging it again. <BR>Those pictures make me miss So Cal. <BR>G

Damn I wish I could have made that!! Bates the X-Star is looking good. Nice to see Bailey the wonderdog representing the bow as only she can. That has got to be the sweetest looking X-Star I've seen.

Awesome sequence... <BR>You guys are killing me, so is this weather.

wow - garrett is not only back, he's throwing 3s again? congrats!! looks like a great day.

Huge props to Steve and Bailey for having us out on that nice new X-Star. Steve kills it on any board/binding set you throw at him, awesome fashon air to blind to whiplash! Bailey rocks! <BR> <BR>Great to see everyone out there at the ramp, Geoff, Big Ed, Garrett, and Club Myke(Ant Bug MIA). Also Brad, Lindsay, and Aimee! Hope everyone had tons of fun! <BR> <BR>New look (actually I do this almost every spring) is the high performance, low drag haircut.

Whats the launch fee at Elsinore?

I believe it is $12 plus $3 for each person in the boat.

Hey Chris! You wouldn't happen to have my sandals in your possession? (grey cobians)<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/happy.gif" border=0> <BR> <BR>

Sorry, Captain I looked all over my jeep and bag and could not find them but josh said he would give you a killer deal on some sandals if you were interested. Let us know.

Jeff, <BR>Between you and I, you really have to watch your stuff around Sticky Fingers Steve. Things dissapear. <BR> <BR>Josh

It's all good. Looked all over Stevo's boat, could not find where they went to. Had to borrow the shoes off of Troy's feet so we could hit the mexican restaraunt afterwards (Thanks Troy!). Probably about time to replace those old sandals anyway. I'll be in to pick up a new pair soon. <BR> <BR>I bet Bailey hid 'em so she would have a snack for the way home <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/proud.gif" border=0>
