nightrider,this is at 10 30 at night with led lights on the boat,You could see the wave perfect then you have a glow stick in your boardshorts so when you eat it your friends can find you. Upload

good one duffy,that lake looks so nice,

(duffymahoney) · (duffymahoney) **Join Date: Sep 2008** 07-02-2009, 9:20 PM

James we ride at night and the best way to find people is for them to stick the board straight up, and use your tower lights to find them.

Yeah those first pics are at 1030 to 1100 and around here by 10 00 its pitch dark,we had a spot light to, but with the glow sticks it worked really good.

That is some nice air Duffy, did you land it? Very nice.

We have been working on building a special board designed for cruising, and beginner adults, yet fun to ride. The Master Weighter and Walker Project helped us with this one. I had fun doing a digital design on the board for graphics, it came out well. RJ took the board for a spin and it handled VERY well. Here are some pics whitney took with the SLR.

Duffy, that's dammed good air. Your really coming along.

(duffymahoney) · (duffymahoney) **Join Date: Sep 2008** 07-03-2009, 8:59 AM

Yeah thanks, I think I landed it, I land prob around 80% or so. I have a few where I go square to the boat, but I never get as much air. Truthfully it's the boat :-)

Torn ligaments in my ankle. I can't stand on it yet and I'm Out for the next 2 months or so for wakeboaring. I had to find some way to get back out on the water!

Go Nick! Where there's a will, there's a way!

New board looking good. Looks like your ripping on it.

(scottnaz) · (scottnaz) **Join Date: Feb 2008** 07-05-2009, 6:33 PM

Thanks Duffy

Dennis - thanks for your help with the board. As soon as the Big Brown Truck arrived on Thursday, we headed out for the weekend. The kids didn't understand why we had to wait for the UPS guy before we could leave, but, I'm sure you all understand

(dennish) · (dennish) **Join Date: May 2005** 07-05-2009, 6:38 PM

Nice color match. Glad it arrived on time hate to have to tell the kids we can't go till tomorrow.

(ragboy) · (ragboy) **Join Date: Aug 2007** 07-05-2009, 6:44 PM

That's funny, we did the same thing waiting for our cruiser. We were all outside in our trunks waiting for the brown truck.

This is why it pays to be 'IN' with your UPS driver. I can text my UPS driver and he will give me his location if I need to drop something off or pick it up from him in a hurry. I'd recommend this to all of you....KNOW YOUR UPS DRIVER!

(ragboy) · (ragboy) **Join Date: Aug 2007** 07-06-2009, 10:57 AM

That's good, I am going to have to work on that one.

(duffymahoney) · (duffymahoney) **Join Date: Sep 2008** 07-06-2009, 10:58 AM

Just a few pics from the weekend. The new to me comp1 is fun! My pumps into the wave are off, because of the speed difference between it and the ja mako. I keep almost running into the boat. I'm sure a couple more days we will have it down. Upload

Vince, how crowded is your lake?

I really like the water color and would like to to some video work there

surfdad 07-08-2009, 7:45 PM

Check the little plane that buzzed us it was painted like a WWII Spitfire :-)

(valsurfer) · (valsurfer) **Join Date: May 2006** 07-08-2009, 8:25 PM

Wardovision its Lake Don Pedro its like the shoreline is approximately 160 mi its the 5 largest artificial lake in California & all fresh snow water.When i was reading all that about wakeboarder hatin the surfers the trouble is they need to be on a lake like pedro some times like monday we saw 10 boat all day

(valsurfer) · (valsurfer) **Join Date: May 2006** 07-08-2009, 8:34 PM

Thanks Chris on photo comment its sunny 4 like 6 month in Calif with no rain till late fall but that day was windy & the sky was so clear

(caskimmer) · (caskimmer) **Join Date: Apr 2006** 07-08-2009, 9:05 PM

So how about it Jeff? Is Lake don Pedro do-able for you guys after the contests? I can go all the way up there but I see a whole lot of potential there and think it would really be worth it

surfdad 07-09-2009, 5:00 AM

Hey caskimmer, Don Pedro's only about 80 miles south of us, within towing distance, easily doable. It's a huge lake like Vince indicates. Mid-week it's almost eery how empty it is. :-)

duffy that board looks like it works good for you.

(duffymahoney) · (duffymahoney) **Join Date: Sep 2008** 07-12-2009, 6:01 PM

The board is super super fast. I'm still trying to figure out how to get the back of the board out of water. I got some stretch fins for it, and it feels a little more stable. I think it might be to locked for me to spin it.

(mbwakesurfer) · (mbwakesurfer) **Join Date: Jul 2007** 07-12-2009, 11:19 PM

hey duffy i am runnin the same set up once you get the pump down everything will come natural! And you will boost!

(duffymahoney) · (duffymahoney) **Join Date: Sep 2008** 07-13-2009, 9:46 AM

Yeah I am under shooting or over shooting my launch area. I need to figure out my pump.

Yeah cuz thats pretty much everything on that board the pump is the gateway also if you try to bring your knees to your chest then it will allow the board to go higher and level out

I should NOT be allowed to operate a camera! I couldn't get the timing right, always catching James on the way down and I have NO IDEA what I did on the one picture of Dennis!!!
