Bakes, Those are cool pics! It's awesome to see wakesurfings roots from the 60's. What boat were you riding behind?

I believe it was a Rayson Craft V drive of some sort. That thing was pimped out with a gas pedal with toes and a inclinometer (a BB in in a curved glass tube). Ballast was uncle Melvin

LOL, sad thing is I was doing that in the '60s, and wore that same type life belt!

we called it freeboarding though... but same basic idea
