Blake got his new camera and got some great pics of everyone. I did my best at some sequence shots too (first attempts, be kind).

Me and my gas station sandwich.... breakfast of champions!

I swear it's a tail grab, not tindy!

Kevin thought it was tindy, and that makes him sad...

Dave and his X-star. It was like an X-star morning with just Kevin's and Daves out there for most of the early morning.

I don't know what's more troubling... the hole going straight through my head, or my freakishly long finger?

Nice shots but You better delete the tindy grab before the style police get wind of it.

He was killing these big stalled-out grabbed HS 180's all day long:

And he was sad because he knew he could land it, but came up a little short:

i see a huge problem with that last photo, the swim platform isnt sunk

(kingskrew) · (kingskrew) **Join Date: May 2004** 08-21-2006, 7:38 PM

Thanks for the great time Kev, good to see everyone out on the water. Blake gets credit for all the photos. I wish he had ridden so I'd have some great raley pics to post, but he refused to come out of retirement for the day.

alanp 08-21-2006, 7:39 PM

well youve added some more photos, oh well.

stoked409 08-21-2006, 7:56 PM

Great stuff Steve. I guess I missed another stellar San V day. Bummer, I was stuck for 5 days at Boardstock!

My liver is sticking out my side

. I did pick up a new Roam wile I was there. Oh, and I have pics too!!

See ya soon!

Blake, congrats on the new camera. About time! Now strap that damn board on your feet and RIDE! Cut the "retirement" crap!

wakelvr 08-21-2006, 8:06 PM

I enjoyed it also. Very entertaining.... minus the poop picture!

its hard to sink an xstar platform!!

(big_xstar) · (big_xstar) **Join Date: Nov 2004** 08-21-2006, 9:23 PM

Thanks for posting Steve.. Great day it was.
Glad you all were able to make it out.
Blake definetly needs to get back on the water, but at least he is more useful in the boat now with that cool new camera!

Nice meeting Dennis too. Have to get you back out there with coach Blake.
Steve you were riding big and smooth as usual.. You make me sick sometimes..J/K bro!!
BTW.. those were TSFS 360's, not 180's ha ha
but you knew that already..

Just for the record. Even when I sack our boat out wth 3,000 lbs of ballast the platform still sits above the water line.

(kingskrew) · (kingskrew) **Join Date: May 2004** 08-21-2006, 9:36 PM

Yep 360's, sorry

Glad everyone likes the pics, thanks again Blake for taking them all.

Walt, it's pretty close, but it really isnt a tindy. It's right on the corner, but on the back edge.

Good times, as always... I'm not kidding when I say our SD crew is the best!

Kevin,
Thanks for having Megan and I out on the boat with you guys... It was a blast, just like all those other times. Tell Lisa I'm a little upset she stayed at home, for work, over coming to see me! Good luck on the 3's... Your riding has improved a whole lot!

Steve,
Damn bro... Nice riding! Megan told me that (other than myself) you're one of her favorite riders to watch... I agreed.

Next time we'll snap a lot more... Maybe some raley attempts from both of you?

-Blake

(kingskrew) · (kingskrew) **Join Date: May 2004** 08-22-2006, 11:35 AM

We should definitely do it again Blake, but i don't know about the ol' raley...

Here's one of Brandon:

So this is what I missed out on .....DAMN!!

Kevin,looks like you got that 3....work on it!

DAMN Steve.....I guess you like an X-Star wake!!!

WOW,you are going HUGE!!

(blake_hughes)

It'd be a cool sequence shot??? Take one for the team.

PS: I got your message about my gas tank. Thanks.
