Yesterday afternoon we took the boat out after work and worked with my boys to get them to ride, ages 10 and 5.

My oldest got up on his second try and rode about twenty feet, on the third try he stayed up!!!!He even got to where he could start edging back and forth inside the wake and riding the whole length of the run, stayed up through the turn, and rode the entire full distance!!! I am so proud of him!!!

In a couple of the pictures take a look at his face, priceless...

I pulled my youngest in the shallow water along the shore to get him used to it and he did great. My legs just wouldnt allow me to pull him very far. My buddy has a jetski and next weekend he is bringing it out and we will use it close to shore for my youngest...

I am so Stoked, they are hooked....there goes all my money.....

Looks like he has really good form cutting toe side. He'll be going wake to wake in no time.

Tell the 5 year old to work his tongue a little more and he'll be showing up his big bro.

Michael z -

yup first face plant ever, all he said was "After that fall I think I am a girl now!" It smacked his balls more than his face...

But he go right up and rode again...

Sam -

Rocky was really nice friday afternoon, when we showed up only one other boat and the left within an hour, then it was all ours for the rest of the evening. The water smoothed out really good after that small storm that passed about 5:00 PM. I would like to hook with you and get some pointers for myself and my kids if you are able and willing....

Thanks for all the comments I can't remember the last time I was this PROUD.
