Last night! I did a HS and TS W2W! First time ever! And with a crappy wake (05 Reinell 200LSE with no ballast) can't wait to get some weight and see a bigger wake.

I ate it pretty hard a couple times...my first attempt last night I actually made it HS W2W but came in nose down and bit it face first pretty hard.}

Kirk,

Nice job bro...keep at it, once you get em down start getting some 180s and grabs.

Thanks guys...I was actually really surprised at how smooth it was landing. But because of the hard crashes I am a bit tentative coming in now, those were some of the hardest crashes yet. I can do inside out and outside in 180's but haven't tried a W2W 180 yet...maybe sunday.

And I ordered "The Book" and it should be here Saturday..

thats awesome. the bigger you go, the harder you will fall, but the sweeter the reward is going to be. dont slow down, just rip it and have fun.

Congrats dude, I still remember that excitement even though it was a good 9 years ago. The excitement of landing something new, especially when it's been kicking you is always amazing.
