haha a little off topic? guitar and drums drums are my main thing but anyways. congrats melody, im trying to get my little 4 year old bro to go. he tried it, got up, then decided he was afraid of the open water. Its impossible to convince him to go in now. I think hes scarred for life ha.

Corey thats awesome that you have gotten your little bro up....tell him not to be afraid of the water go out there with him and show him that there isn't anything to be afraid of. I stayed out there with my little girl until she was comfortable with it and she told me to get back in the boat! Good luck with it and I hope that he doesn't give up that easy.

I rock the electric triangle when I play, I also dabble in the cowbell in my free time. Nice job getting the little one up! I couldn't get my cousin to try till he was 9 or 10 or however old he is!

I landed a couple backroll today for the first time behind our bayliner. I can land them consistently behind the san 220 that I take lessons behind. But I think I did something to my knee. I was hitting double ups and the wake wash over a little at the top which tripped my board and I landed on my side slash stomach. I dont know what happened but I had alot of pain in my knee as soon as that happened. I am thinking about getting a Hyperlite premier board. Has anyone rode it?}

I was getting huge air this weekend. I was told I was getting a good 2 feet higher than usual. All because I run cross country at school, I guess running doesn't suck any more if it will make me wakeboard better.

She's been hurtin' too. Been ridin' anyway. 2nd. in USA Nats last week, and 4th. in WWA Worlds this week. Not a bad year all in all. Time to take a long break and rehab. You'll see what that's all about shortly!!

Your doctor and physical therapist will advise on those details. Mostly depends on how well your body responds to the surgery and therapy. Just keep a good attitude and strict therapy regiment, and you'll be fine. Just a long healing process.

Jennifer, my 6 year old cousin is learning to ride on a 119 O'brien, it's a little big but he will grow into it. Doesn't somebody make a 112 or 115?

well, really all i have to do is help out at boat shows when they need it, go and compete at tournaments and wear their hoodies and shirts on the podium, and obviously send people to the shop and drop good words for them. and for my sunglass sponser, i put the stickers on the board, wear my sunglasses on the podiums, and recomend them like crazy. and sometimes its just other stuff like letting people try your board, sunglasses, and alot of products that your sponsers give you and encourage them to get the same stuff from your sponser Anarchy eyewear is sick diamond lakes water sports is awesome

So I took a lesson and I went back to the basic tricks to get a good foundation and consistency. I was never consistent with my HS FS 180s so we worked on those and i am getting consistent with those. TS and HS half-cabs are getting easier, waiting for the height of the jump for TS 180s, and am now holding my grabs and tweaking/poking them out. My progressive edge is getting better and I am more comfortable switch riding. If anybody hasn't taken lessons I would highly recommend it, it helps a ton.

I know some stuff about it so far. It's very unforgiving, but this can be easily fixed by rounding off the edges on the bottom layer of the bi-level, that will make it MUCH more forgiving. It weighs a tad under 13 pounds, but it feels like a normal deck under your feet, how they pulled that i dont know. it comes in a 42" or a 44", but each feels about an inch shorter than they really are. The pop on the board is immaculate, my sponser said that after he demo'd it at radar, he had never had so much pop in his life. and the board is a mixture of wood and composite, so it has the feel of both. My Sponser's pro shop manager said that after he rode it, he never wanted to ride another skate again. this board is very advanced, but its better to grow into a board than out of one but my personal opinions will come if i get my deck intime.
