This should piss a lot of you off, if it does'nt, something is wrong with the universe. After a local event in Detroit Lakes, Minnesota, me and some buds we're lounging on a nearby public beach, recovering from a long competition. We have a Ski Ray Inboard, which is'nt much, but it's our own boat and throws a big wake. As we pull away from the beach to trailer the boat, some dude from the beach yells from a newer wakeboard ready Mastercraft 'Ski Rays suck'. So of course we turn the boat around and roll up breathing fire. After some words with some local punks about how buying a new boat does'nt make you a true wakeboarder, we rolled out. Of course, being the Jackasses they were, they taged along, telling us how our boat sucked and so on. When we told them to quit talking and throw down, they circled our boat as we coasted along, yelling the same old shiate, as I tried to keep one of our crew from jumping in their boat to rip them apart. When they slowed down I tore into the driver about being a disgrace to wakeboarding and that being a wakeboarder is'nt about slamming everyone else because your rich daddy borrowed you his new boat for the afternoon. As they pulled away, DISGRACE rang out several more times. The moral of the story: Whether you ride behind a new Super Air or a Lund fishing boat, if you enjoy riding all day and living this life day in and out, your a wakeboarder and you deserve respect. And if your ever on Detroit Lake in MN and a Black/White 98-99 Mastercraft rolls up talking those tools to throw on their board or shut up, because whether they wakeboard or not, they don't deserve any respect from anyone that knows this sport.
