Hi Y'all,

Here's a couple of videos from the session last night at Lake Austin.

Finally got the downloading to the laptop thing figured out, so just wanted to post them.

One is on a Landlock 5'11" and the other on my old 6'8" Rip Curl (ocean shortboard)

Have fun!

As for perfect pass, we have the Malibu precision pro, but the wife's still figuring it out... :-)

haha that was pretty funny...reminds me of parks bonifays video where the driver is talking about wakeboarding...saying its a team sport and without the driver parks would just be some guy floating in the water with a wakeboard and long hair...lol

i guess when a rider goes to a comp and gets a medal i guess the driver should too...lol
