Here is a picture of my son trying a backroll at 8 years old. He is 9 now. Now he can land it I just don't have the pictures on this computer. Upload

The Gauntlet has been dropped, lol...

Great Pic, Robert.

BTW, that is a bigger handle, 19" I think.

Nice work with the little one Barry! I just got my little one up on skies this summer - he is two!

You have all of Winterset to yourself?

Todd,

Not all the time, but we went out early about 9-ish. Didnt see another boat until about noon. That supprised me because all the canals are full. I even had to drop my tower to get in and out of Lake Roy. Time for another Winter Haven Wake Fest!!!!

Is Duffy still around to organize it?

I take it the water levels are back to where they are supposed to be?

Water is up the highest its been in two years.
I took a X2 through the entire Chain no problem on Labor Day.

Great pics Byrd, I had to work all weekend my wife said the lake was awesome all day Saturday (figures)
Kid looks great.

Thanks Billy, it was a great weekend out on the chain. We should be out again this Sunday. If you are out there, give me a call.

Very nice. I know dad was just as stoked as the kid was. Nothing like family fun on the lake.

(byrd) · (byrd) **Join Date: Dec 2005** 09-09-2008, 6:09 PM

Waylon, he is about 58'. We started about a month ago at 45" and when he started landing in the flats, I would let out about 2' at a time.
