What an awesome day on the Backwater! Great boat, the best water in So Cal, yummy tacos, and great company.

Jeff ~ thanks for the pulls. All day on the backwater with you and your son was an awesome experience (you to Joe). You're an awesome host and a great driver. I will post some pics soon.

Cooper ~ great riding. You're the best 11 year old kid I know. Good attitude, well mannered, you rip, and you have an awesome dad. keep up the good work.

Frew ~ it was awesome to see you again. Next time I better not have money shoved in my car if I buy you a taco or 10 hahaha.

bug, a great day of riding, filming, taking pics and hangin' out w/ you and the canyon lake crew. you always seem to make being out on the lake that much better!

i gotta agree w/ bug. cooper's one of the best 11yr olds i've ever met. not only can he ride well, he's a great all-around kid w/ a great attitude. he even corrected an older kid (which shall remain nameless) for littering the lake! now, if only he'd try a tantrum, he'll be a PERFECT kid! hahaha!

it truly was an awesome day out at canyon lake. it was great to ride w/ cooper. jeff's driving and hospitality made us feel totally at home! thanks a ton, jeff!

it was great seeing frew, the bates, the posers, chuck, jesson, gretchen, damien, among many others out there! we'll do dinner next time!

gretchen learned a lot of new tricks, it was awesome watching her ride again. after watching her ride, the theme became, "dallas who?" gretchen's riding is right up there now, but she comes out on top since she's an awesome person w/ a great attitude!

what can i say about jesson...he straight up rips...that's it! i'll see you guys in a couple weeks...then it's on!

keep an eye out for a video of cooper's riding, coming soon!

Jeff, Cooper, and pretty much every Swink out there rocks like no other. Couldn't ask for better friends.

Ant Bug - Thank you so much for feeding an entire boatload of starving wakeboarders. Hope I didn't mess up the seal on the right window, really appreciate what you did for us. If you haven't any plans for the cash, use it for gas $$ next time you ride. BTW - had a great time watching you & Joe & Coops ride. Love hanging out back with you guys.

Joe - what can I say, you have a way with words!! Swear that the Marius has you popping twice as high.

Life is good.

(Another BTW - my 2000th post...)

Joe and AntBug,

A HUGE thanks to both of you for spending the day on the boat with Coop and Jeff. They both had a great time. It was so fun to see Coop come home so excited last night. That was his first "photo/video" shoot ever - a totally cool experience for him. Thank you! I can't wait to see the final outcome! You guys are awesome and I truly appreciate you spending time with Coop. Anytime you want to ride, just give us a call - anytime!

Mr. Frew - YOU rock! Thanks for the kind words. We luv you guys!

Thanks again!

AntBug - Thanx for posting those pics! If that is an intro to the shots you took that day...WOW! Nice shot of Eddie's batwing (huge) and Jessen is riding so..............so awesome! Great shots!

Thanks again! I can't wait to see the rest! I'll make sure Coop checks this post before he leaves for school in the morning!

Thank you so much!

Holy crap, look at that crack!! Something about the sun down at Canyon, it burned the hell out of me in just a couple of hours. Depleted ozone or something.
Great looking pics Bug, they are getting better and better all the time.

It was great hangin with everyone up until we had to leave, but none the less fun. Hope to do it again soon.

Would someone please explain what is going on in the pic above?

Did he jump off the tower?

It looks like there is no landing zone.

Yo Bug, sweet pics!
Cooper is the coolest little kid I have meet in years. Joe U and Antbug introduced me to him and his dad a few weeks ago, very cool people!

Looks like you guys had a really good time, and nice water too! I'm Jealous

Looks like another great day of riding with the COOPS, those PEEPS ROCK! Its awesome to see that lil "SUPER COOPER" ride, that kid is outstanding. His talent is superb. And hes got STYLE too. Props to dad because where Coop is, Dad is there too. And mom is there supporting behind the scenes. Family is great.

PS. Damm I wasn't there.

"Doc, keep him in the water."
"Hey COOP keep aiming high."
