Hey Bob sweet pics! How do you like black lake? I almost towed out there once but ended up at long lake in Lacey. Is it a big lake? Stumpy?

It's a monster!!

Black lake is good, I live really close so we usually go there. I would rather go to hicks lake or long lake. The stumps are in the no wake zone so it is safe to ride. The lake is big, in the summer it gets really busy. The lake is open year round so winter riding is alway glass.

Nice pictures. Nice wake too, and it looks huge compared to your son. I rode on Black Lake this summer. I like the lake but it was a little rough when I was out and it was even a week night.

Andrea,

My son is intimidated by the wake probably because it is almost up to his thigh, but he is trying to clear the wake now. He rides at 65 feet and we usually ride at 75.

Black lake does get crazy when it’s hot out, even during the week. We usually put the boat in at 6pm and ride until its dark out during the week.

I'll have to haul down there one of these days. Whats up Andrea?! You should take some dawn patrol sets with us Andrea. Hows the riding comin along? Bob we'll have to hook up.

Bob, that would be impressive to see him go w2w, and at 65 feet! We also launched at 6pm and stayed till dark. It was rough all the way up till dark. I was surprised to see it busy so late. I bet it's nice now, day, night, weekday and weekends.

Hi John, it doesn't seem like I've done as much riding this year. I could do 8am, the tillicum launch is a 45 minute drive from my house. You get that backroll yet?

Yeah I did. But as it turns out the flip I was attempting when I rode with you was a heelside frontroll? I have the backrolls pretty solid now and I'm alot more consistent with the tantrum usually 50/50 and I'm close on the toeside backroll. Maybe I could come out that way one day. My buddy Kyle might want to go again, who knows.

John, you have that awesome boat with a super sweet wake and you want to come ride mine? Wow, I feel honored. You and Kyle are welcome anytime. Congrats on the backrolls!
