PUPPY DOG!
Yeah, just seeing a guy riding in shorts this time of year makes me cold. Nice pics. Looks like you guys had a blast.

Walt thanks for posting. I think those pictures are awesome. The lighting isn't great, but you can't control that!

NO MORE DRYSUITS!

The water temp is 56 at the Delta. Let's hope the temps continue to climb. I was very comfortable in a spring suit with a long sleve over the top.

Matt fricken KILLED it! First time I ever saw someone stomp a Vulcan live!

SICK SICK!! Nice riding Matt!

BTW.. Picture 8 solves my spinning dilemma. I'm rushing the handle pass- need to slow it down. Thanks Walt!

Kevin & Becky: I think I met you at the WakeSurf Jam. I was really tanked and fell off your boat. It was Arun's first ride post knee rehab. Right?

WOw, you guys in the shorts are studs. Werent you guys freezing?

twisted 02-27-2005, 1:09 PM

Hey J-Rod! Yep that was us...I don't think anyone was feeling any pain that night...And not sure if you were the only one that fell off the boat! 13 of us that night + Cookie (great Ballast group, good time). It was Quite the show in the rear view. All you guys were bust'n big that night!

Great pics!!

J-Rod ~ No more drysuits?comfortable in 56 degree water and trunkin it?

YOU ARE MY HERO!!!Crazy mofo

LOL

(jarrod) · (jarrod) **Join Date: May 2003** 02-28-2005, 7:55 AM

Well not really trunkin it. I have a spring suit, and a long sleeve top over it. Legs were the only thing exposed. It wasn't bad at all. What kind of water temps are you seeing down south?

(antbug) · (antbug) **Join Date: Jul 2004** 02-28-2005, 8:32 AM

Damn J-rod you are a crazy mofo. Yesterday we rode at Perris and the water temp was 54.
Without my drysuit I would have not gone in.

Great pics Walt as always.

hey I just looked and is that Shawn riding a LF? What happened to the Blade?

(jarrod) · (jarrod) **Join Date: May 2003** 02-28-2005, 8:38 AM

Yep, Shawn is riding the Substance. Walt still rides the Blade.

Try a spring suit with long sleeves. You'll be more comfortable than you think.

You guys coming to the bay area this weekend?

Thanks for posting the pics Walt! Thanks for a great pull J-Rod. It felt great to be back out on the water. I am still quite sore this morning. I was hurting pretty bad yesterday.

(jarrod) · (jarrod) **Join Date: May 2003** 02-28-2005, 9:20 AM

Any time Matt. I'm hurtin too.

(antbug) · (antbug) **Join Date: Jul 2004** 02-28-2005, 9:36 AM

J-rod that's the plan. Weather is looking good too.

(twakess) · (twakess) **Join Date: Mar 2002** 02-28-2005, 10:07 AM

Hay is that Matt VDA that used to ride a LF Shannon Best back in the day at the INT events?

(wakehype) · (wakehype) **Join Date: Dec 2002** 02-28-2005, 11:12 AM

Looks good. Drop me a line if you need a third.

(mahaney) · (mahaney) **Join Date: Feb 2005** 02-28-2005, 12:56 PM

I'm jealous that you guys can even ride at all this time of year. I was kneeboarding behind a 4wheeler out on my lake on the weekend....

check this pic from stokecity.ca taken in Muskoka Ontario.http://http://www.stokecity.ca/2005images/sunandski/Yes%20sir-That%20is%20solid%20ice%20out%20there.jpg

Squid- Yup, this is the same Matt VdA who rode the LF Best back in the day.

walt 02-28-2005, 3:22 PM

Ant, Shawn has a different set up every other time I ride with him.

I was giving him a hard time about it on the way to the Delta.

Matt, I was really disappointed that I didn't get some better pics for you but I'll try and do better next time.

And thanks for the complements from the rest of you !

Matt, dang its been a long time. EVERYONE MATT IS A OLD SCHOOLER.

Great pics. Who is the rider with just one arm?
Dude rips. Blows me away and I got two arms. Very inspiring and humbling at the same time.

(antbug) · (antbug) **Join Date: Jul 2004** 02-28-2005, 3:33 PM

Walt ~ I just heard that he changed his boat too!
tell Shawn I said congrads and maybe I'll see you
this weekend. Big Ed and I are comming up and ridding with J-rod.

(mvda) · (mvda) **Join Date: Dec 2002** 02-28-2005, 3:49 PM

Walt, Those pics were great. I like how you caught me throwing the handle. I never realized I did that on regular spins. I thought I only did that on one particular trick.

Squid, It usually takes an old schooler to know one. Who are you?

(mvda) · (mvda) **Join Date: Dec 2002** 02-28-2005, 4:09 PM

Squid, Thanks for the e-mail. I know.

He just landed his first half-cab roll too.

Matt haha, Cool found someone from the old days. I and I thought I was the only one still riding from that time frame. Sometimes people think I am full of it when I tell them that we learned bs rolls and railys with no tower or weight. OUCH I still feel the falls.

Nice pics Walt!

I can remember boat tiping was a hot topic when extended pylons just came out. Skurfer!! And the sad part...I still suck.

eyesman 03-01-2005, 9:27 PM

Walt.

What type of camera did you use? Damn those are nice pics!

Thanks.

walt 03-02-2005, 4:44 AM

Thanks Iceman. The pics were taken with a Canon DRebel with a Canon 70-200 f/4 lens.
