Coming home from work today, the joy was hard to keep in check when I saw this on my front door.

Straight from CWB and Wakeworld, making a perfect birthday present for my wife. First impressions were positive...gotta love the clean white look.

Then threw on the bindings (Limited Embers looks sweeeet) and got a couple of posed shots in the sunlight.
Upload

Check out the sparkle!

Now off to the lake, stylin' with the girlie pink.

Can't get too many angles of the new board.

Let's see how this thing rides!
Upload

A little loose because riding without the center fin (that 1.7 Skate is a beast...might have to try it next time out for kicks)
Upload

First cut...you'd think it was going to be a Raley. :-)

But I'll settle for a smooth Indy.

Thanks to CWB and Wakeworld, another day ends in the warm waters of TN with new smiles on our faces.

Those shots look like they could be in the CWB catalog! Awesome.

That's too cool. Thanks for putting up the pics. I don't often get to see the prizes once they go out!

Lyon, we're on Chickamauga, over by Harrison Bay State Park.

Loren, Congradulations on the prize, missed you at BTB this weekend. Hope you were in the water somewhere, it was really hot.

Thanks George, I didn't feel like hitting BTB...lots of people and really noisy from what I've heard. I just got an early morning run in on Wolftever...calm and peaceful :-)

How did Phil do?

Loren, Chichamauga is a nice lake. My wife and I did our first color cruise some years back, dropped an anchor, took a nap and both got sun burned on one side

If you get a chance drop in for our rail jam on the 25th

Thanks for the reminder Lyon. I've never been on Pickwick, and unfortunately won't get getting up there for the rail jam either. I'm such a homebody, when the lake is 5 minutes from home its hard to argue trailering anywhere else to ride. I need to get out more.

I love my Sapphire too. After demoing MANY boards, the Sapphire was my third one and ever board after that didn't compare to it. LOVE IT!

Nice Setup!

Loren, The crowd seemed down, many thought it was due to the heat. Noise from the River Stage was not bad if you were not right in front. Water was better than last year because the driver took a little more time between riders. TWRA and police could help more with through traffic, they were there all weekend but did little to slow traffic. I think some big signs hanging off the bridges would also help.

Phil got third in the newly created Pro Division, he rode very well on Sunday with the second best run, Rhett Watley had a killer run and Bryan had to leave before the finals.

Congrats to Phil! I'm excited to see a rider I know progress up through the ranks. Someday I'll tell people, 'Yeah, I knew that guy before he went pro.' :-)
