Third thread of pic's

Sorry Chip, your "investors hate words" comment freaked me out. So this is just a post of pics without any strings attached.

A desperate man :-)

.

In this picture, the starboard side is our weak side. Both Dennis and his board are 6'2". That man can ride as far back as the next county over. :-)

which brand of board is that? I'm looking for a long board.

surfdad 06-12-2006, 5:17 AM

LOL! That's a board that I shaped for Dennis in my garage. :-)

I think it was a 6'8"R Clark blank that we cut 6 inches off the tail. If you don't mind the expense, just about any surf shop can make you one...or you can make your own. Alternatively, Hyperlite makes a 5'11" complete with meat clever fins that should make you feel like noseriding. :-)

Something we discovered while longboarding is that you don't really want a TALL wake, you want a long pocket, which allows you to walk all over the board. At one point during the day Dennis buried the tail in the curl and had both feet in the first 18 inches of the board. With the size of that board, we could easily bump the speed up 2+ mph over what we normally ride at. You could use a true long board shape in the 8 foot range with this wake and speed setting.

so jeff does my wake meet your approval? :-)

surfdad 06-13-2006, 11:35 AM

LOL! Yes, I'll make it offical.

I, Jeff Walker, being the duly declared (self) supreme guru of wakesurfing, do hereby certify that the wake developed by Sean of Entrust Clothing is certified as meeting with my approval, with all the rights and privileges thereto, pertaining. Under and by virtue of an Act of the Legislature of the greater Wake World community. Given under the hands and our seal this thirteenth day of June, 2006.

i heart cathy williams... she is the cousin of one of my best friends and I got to hang out with her quite a bit...

she has a nice backside... heh heh...sorry, couldn't resist.

surfdad 06-13-2006, 1:39 PM

Yes! Finally someone said it! I almost gave myself a hernia waiting for that comment, Scott! :-)

(taylormade) · (taylormade) **Join Date: Jun 2001** 06-13-2006, 1:40 PM

Sean, I'm just glad to see you out of a damn dry suit... wait, that might not have come out right... take 2.

Sean, I bet you're happy you don't have to wear a dry suit anymore, huh?

(taylormade) · (taylormade) **Join Date: Jun 2001** 06-13-2006, 1:43 PM

You can always count on me for the cheap and mindless comments, Jeff.

(lionel) · (lionel) **Join Date: Nov 2005** 06-13-2006, 2:14 PM

"she has a nice backside... heh heh...sorry, couldn't resist."

Can we get a pic from the other side of the boat?

(entrustclothing)

very happy to be out of the dry suit :-)

water is still pretty cold though, like 58 :-(

bryan what woiuld your wife say to that comment :-)

(lionel) · (lionel) **Join Date: Nov 2005** 06-13-2006, 3:50 PM

She would ask when Cathy could come over

Remember last year when the water was 80 degrees?

4sher 06-13-2006, 4:34 PM

Lake Sammamish is up to a whopping 67 degrees

(entrustclothing)

sure she would buddy :-)

i rember it being 75!

Jeff - where was the pic taken of Cathy Williams behind the Nelem's Marine Tige?

surfdad 06-14-2006, 5:07 AM

Alabama...shoot I can't remember the name of the lake for sure, but I believe it is Lewis Smith Lake, I can verify that for you, if it's important. Cathy was there to do a clinic sponsored by the folks at Nelems Marine.

surfdad 06-14-2006, 7:34 AM

Now be honest guys, isn't that the most attractive upholstery you've ever seen on a Tige? The subtle blending of blue and grey is magnificent, don't you agree? :-)

(Scott, I'm counting on you man! :-)

(taylormade) · (taylormade) **Join Date: Jun 2001** 06-14-2006, 10:02 AM

must--not--type--obvious...aaahhhh screw it. I know I'm going to get flamed for this, but that's the ONLY thing I'd ride behind a Tige'... not a fan.

Boy, Jeff, you could have a caption contest with that one. :-)

(ed_g) · (ed_g) **Join Date: Nov 2005** 06-14-2006, 10:07 AM

caption contest? I'm in...

First, sorry for the negative post about Tige', that wasn't nice. I tried to edit it but it's been 30 minutes...

"she's about to pull a trick out of her ass"
pretty much everything else I have wouldn't be prudent to post on this board.

surfdad 06-14-2006, 11:02 AM

Guys, guys, guys. First, Tige's rock :-)

and secondly Cathy Williams is a sweetheart of a professional. She travels to many parts of the US to teach and demo. If I may respectfully request that we keep our comments restricted to what a fine young lady she is. She's a Hottie with a capital H, no doubt...let's show the lady a little respect. We can make fun of Ed Geary though. :-)

Make fun of me - big deal.

My wife does that every night. :-)

not to trash on tiges but for a 24' boat that wake looks week :-(

surfdad 06-14-2006, 4:50 PM

For YEARS you couldn't even order a ballast system for a Tige, then - what in '04 they started offering it as an option - hard tanks that wiped out your storage. It's not a bunch, regardless. Bigger boats require more ballst. I think this is the side view of that boat, it's not bad for a factory stock boat.

Sorry Jeff, I didn't bother reading your profile to notice that you owned a Tige before I posted my juvenile comment. Thanks for posting the wide angle... looks a lot better.

surfdad 06-14-2006, 8:18 PM

Scott, no problem...say three hail tige's and pray while kneeling towards Texas and all will be well :-)

Honestly I don't take my boat ownership personally, I do worry about being respectful to Cathy Williams...she's a good person and I'm regretful that I offered the fuel. So...let's move on to more pic's, eh?

OK, so it's not wakesurfing but it done on the same boards that some of us are riding. (sorry, I just checked the surf reports and am anxiously awaiting my Cabo trip Wednesday)

Jeff, I have a place at Smith Lake and try to catch any clinics up there - I guess I'll call Nelem's tomorrow and ask to be put on whatever mailing list. I thought all you posters were from out west somewhere. Very surprised to see a pic on our water.
