I figured that with 53 posts the previous thread was getting a little long. So here's a new picture thread for the fall season. (after all, this is when it gets good )

Shannon Coffin- frontside railslide


small air

another air

your wake is ginormous

A couple from Powell the last week of August. My friend Nicky....

Here is a cool pic.

Barrelled. James said the noise, when he was in the artifical tube, was awesome.

The Billmeister is now the Spinmeister.

Olleyoop surface 3 and Shuv on Calibrated's grom prototype.

Backside switch, I'm getting better at it.

My dad killing it at 60 yrs young

Clubmyke destroying an absolutely beautiful wake

Yeah, Clubmyke's wake is sick. Here a pic of us girls behind his boat. It's Aimee and Kate's first time testing out the Walzer board. They RIPPED the pic don't do there riding justice though.

Sean, what kind of boat is that huge goofy wake coming out of?

This is my first attempt to upload a picture. Clubmyke, is this your boat model, the SV211, 2005. It appears to have minimal V or deadrise in the stern. There is some controversy regarding V or no V in the stern for optimal surf wake. What is your view, and how much deadrise is there in the 211?

P.S. Judging from the boat's substantial freeboard and your awesome pictures, this boat might be the one I'm looking for!

Jim, I think the minimal V (at least in that particular hull) helps in some way with the wide transition the 211 produces.

jim,

where is the stern and what is deadrise ? honestly i dont know.....

i think the swimstep plays a part as does the hydrogate..

i would love to get my hands on a 226 (bigger 211) the only thing i notice is bigger boats require more weight to sink them...

btw, the new 220 is suppose to be very good..has anyone any pictures ?





(Message edited by clubmyke on September 14, 2006)

That picture is helpful. Just to the right and left of the base plate that supports the hydrogate, you can see that the bottom of the boat angles upward toward either side of the boat. That is deadrise. Zero deadrise would be horizontal. Thanks for the feedback.

Sean or anyone else, is the 211 a "minimal" V or "moderate" V? It appears to be less V than the Enzo. (Sorry everyone, Im getting off topic, Ill try to post another picture soon.)

Thanks for the info clubmyke. Hit me up whenever you're in town. I"m happy to bring you out!!!

jim,

that is NOT my boat so it may not be a 211...

here is a 211 'gate'..

ben,

thanks for the invite... what days do you ride ?

also, there is a house boat trip to powell from sept 22-28 and there are 2 spots.

here are the details. there is more under the wakeboarding fourm...

Here is the deal.
We have a brand new 2006 75' Houseboat for the week of sept 22-28th. Boat is huge and has 4 Queen bed staterooms and a queen bed Sofa pullout. upper deck can also provide sleeping for another 10 people.
Currently we have 7 people going and we are looking for 2-3 more people to go. We have a 2002 Malibu 23'XTI Ski/Wakeboard Boat, 2005 Nautique SV211, 2005 Malibu VLX .
So you dont have to bring a boat if you do not want.

People we are looking for are:

Responsible adults that are NOT into partying hard and drinking and smoking. There will be no smoking and Little to no drinking.
Must have respect for others, clean up after ones self, Easy going.

I know this is not for everyone so please dont respond back whatsoever if you are not interested .

You will be responsible for providing lunch and dinner for 1 day for everyone. We will share the costs of the houseboat, gas and community items such as paperplates and utensils.

Total cost will be about $300-$400 per person for the whole week.

People who are going now are:
Myself and 2 friends
Club Myke and Wife
Jason and brandon

club- I usually hit the lake on Mon-Tue. I go to Pleasant, Saguaro, and Bartlett. Right now I'm in crutches, so a Powell trip (while o' so inviting) doesn't make sense. Whenever you're in town, and can go on those days, lets do it. I've got quite the wakesurfing setup myself and will be back at it in October!!!

Here are a few from yesterday. In the first you'll notice my 5 year old son crying because the handle from the rope that was tossed in the boat hit him in the back of the head before it bounced back on the sun deck then into the water. The second is my buddy Vinnie do what he calls a "VinSpin."


Board More/Work Less!
J$

damn Johnny ..that kid luvs surfin huh

i like your XBC

ben,

i hope you are on the way to a speedy recovery..

let me know when you are ready to roll... i am good for driving,gas, and clean up.

somebody's board is done and came out very sick!

Tried to get a pic of the ballast setup. Fat seat in the rear, 550 on the side, 15 gallons of gas on the side, and 2 500's in the front (I think thats right). Thats on Kevin McGuricks 97 xstar

steve- thank you, your the first person to post a pic of your actual setup, nice wake by the way!

here is mine

haha chris, you look a little younger than me, how old are you, nice wake by the way, if you have the quad MLS, put the bow and center tank full, throw down the wedge (It seems like it messes it up, but no) , and the rear starboard tank here is me, riding switch hahaha on a 23 lsv , i couldn't get any height on the wake

our wakes look very similar

My 14 year old. He started this year. The board is a little big for him.

Board More/Work Less!
J$

David Lehrner....LOL....thanks for noticing. Nicky does fall and always falls with a hand on his hat. Surfing, skating, boarding, no matter. Hat stays on his person, head or hand. As far as I know, he never lost one.

Here's what falling with a hat looks (or should look) like. One on a skate, one surfing:

dtw, is that an oak artificial heart?

Yes it is, don't know how you ascertained that from that photo, but yeah, both Nicky and I ride that skate. Awesome ride.

norcalwake.com haha

tricky!!

Entry into an ollie 3.

Sequence for a FRONTSIDE 360. James didn't quite land this one, but this is a sick trick. The rotation from 180+ is sliding down and backwards

Heelside on the "bad side".

Our goofy wave

Hubby

At his best!

Michele! Nice backside on the "dark side"

Backside lipslide behind Steve's 'bu at Hogan.

Splish, Spalsh.

hogan sucks

R&TC sec. 18511.29(B)(1)(c) sucks.

huh?

Never thought an IO would do so well. 27' cuddy. Not bad for one ballast bag.

that wake is clean, but as we all know, surfing behind an I/O = no brains

I've been behind a smaller I/O and the prop was damn close. This would have been a bit of a challenge to hit, w/ the ridable section far back from the blender and under the swim deck. My boat's still down, and no one else called to go ride that day, so it was worth the risk!

OK, so it's not behind the boat but I'm just stoked that I was able to get Walzer out of the shop long enough to ride some waves.
Definitely not riding like someone who hasn't seen the ocean in 2 months!!

Sweet ass pic clubmyke.

clubmyke where is that photo taken?

lake powell...

just got from my first house boat trip - incredible...

wow, that's beautiful and makes me miss your boat all that much more.

that thing is slammed

The pic is awesome but I wouldn't say slammed.

thanks....

it does get a smige lower (it is missing a 150 fly high brick in the bow and another in the back) I wouldn't want to take it any lower......

A couple of grabs on the strapped board.

MELLOW

that 226 sinking is a wicked awwesome picture.

I posted earlier in the summer about surfing behind a large I/O. Of course people told me not to do it, but like curtis's photo shows, the large size of the boat allows you to get pretty far back there. There is no way he is in danger of the prop that far back.

You know Paul, virtually everyone here is an advocate for the sport. We seek to protect it and encourage others to join in and practice the sport safely. Curtis seldom asks anyone's opinion about his boat and typically is rather flippant in response to anyone questioning his safety practices. Not belittling you Curtis, my friend, but facts are facts. You aren't in need of a dose of self-confidence. I also believe that Curtis uses his boat with the idea of not causing property damage or risking harm to folks.

There are inherent risks in surfing behind an I/O, regardless of size. There are inherent risk in wakesurfing period. The consensus amongst those most knowledgeable and those practicing the sport that are also advocates seeking to preserve and protect it, is that surfing behind an exposed I/O is dangerous and should be avoided. Even Curtis in his response indicated it was "worth the risk".

The danger isn't in hitting the prop that far back, it's in hitting the prop when you are close. Falling forward on starting or some other accident. If the I/O is exposed, the risk exists and the advocates for the sport are always going to tell you the same thing - Do not do it. It's nothing personal, more protective in nature. You, like Curtis may feel it is "worth the risk". Hopefully no one attacks your character, merely states the general consensus that it isn't worth the risk.

Jeff, I was not trying to be beligerant in my post, so if it came across wrong, I appoligize. It appears that he is surfing a good 20ft back in that photo. How would it be anymore dangerous than skiing behind an I/O? I have not wakesurfed before, but I would like to try it out. I bought a 30ft Cobalt last summer that throws a monster wake pretty far back. I was thinking(correct me if I am wrong) that if you start out with a 20ft line, it would all but eliminate the risk.
