Man, took 2000 pictures today on 2 Canons. 30GB+ of HD video at 60FPS from 3 cameras and this was just supposed to be a warm up day, tomorrow is the real surfing.
We invited the Wolters, Wakeshredder Crew, Chase Hazen, Korina Smyrek from Switzerland, and Dennis Horton out for some fun the the 24Ve. They enjoyed the wake, the lake, and a great day.
We made sure we weighted the boat to please these picky pros...

Chris Wolter went out first on RJs new board.

RJs board above is a custom hazen, but the fins were a bit slow, need to change them out. The production hazen Chris has been riding felt better to him.

Sean Cummings got out to ride, I really enjoyed watching do Drifters...

Sean landed some great stuff, big spins, 1080, shuvs, but we will save that for the video...

One of Sean's signatures...

Chase got out and we adjusted a bit steeper, he said he really like the 24Ve lip and said it was nice to launch off of. A couple of times when he launched like this, I thought he was going to land in the boat.

Another perspective. I don't know how many grabs chase can do in the air, but those super long arms and hang time seem to make it effortless.

He gets up higher than the boat tower at times...

When Vanessa Gonzales got out, the water just seem to calm for here, and the sun came out, it was a bit overcast before here.

She makes a good wake model...

She had some great tricks that will end up on video, but this shot of her doing the gun show was so nice the way the sun came out...

Korina Smyrek was not to be outdone, she had some airs of her own.

She surfed with us on Saturday and talked about trying this grab on the bottom turn after watching some videos of Slater online.

Then Edric decided that Sean wasn't the only one to land a Drifter...

A great day, turned on the lights and headed back to the bridge and home for a big home cooked barbecue.
