July already! Check Scottie's first time on a wakesurfer, he snowbards, but doesn't wakeboard. How awful are we?! We made Scottie learn to ride backside!

surfdad 07-04-2010, 7:34 PM

The lake wasn't as bad as I thought it would be!

surfdad 07-04-2010, 7:35 PM

Nice pics guys, nice 3 Surfdad, I was riding ScottAz's board he shaped and was able to do 3 different 360's but just could'nt stay in the pocket. I'll get them down here soon I hope.
Here is a 3 caught in the middle.

This one is at the end after getting sucked out the back lol.

surfdad 07-06-2010, 8:13 PM

Thanks Guys. You'll get it Shane! @ Scott, it must be the board!

Bre was out on the boat this Sunday and brought her new $8 gazillion dollar camera!

I particularly liked this picture of James.

Sweet pic of james, My birthday is next month so I'm hoping my wife pulls the trigger on a high end board for me........ Any recommendations on a board for a 220 pounder? I want something that I can flick around but will still float my big ass. lol

surfdad 07-12-2010, 5:43 AM

@ Tonyv420 - I didn't mean to be rude, I blew past your comment. THANKS! I'm "almost" getting consistent with the 3's!

@DJ - sooooooo envious of your globetrotting!

surfdad 07-15-2010, 7:30 PM

I can see fins! That soooooooo counts as air!

surfdad 07-15-2010, 7:32 PM

surfdad 07-15-2010, 8:22 PM

Actually I need someone to video so I can drive

We had Scotty on the boat today and I hadn't explained how the one camera worked. The WM, as I understand it is the ollie 3 into the surface 3 - at least that's what the boys were calling it

What you guys(dj) are doing behind a boat is just sick. I know how hard that stuff you're pullin' is. I used to surf ocean waves a lot. Now not so much. Moved to the foothills and started wakesurfing last year.

(jdjjamesz) · (jdjjamesz) **Join Date: Mar 2008** 07-18-2010, 7:57 PM

I thank Greg Domingo for the superman ,he taught me that trick behind the boat..

surfdad 07-18-2010, 8:44 PM

Great travelog DJ!

Last practice for us before the WWSC and then the NWWSA the following weekend. Bambi came to wish us good luck.

We hosted our first of hopefully an annual wakesurfing camp July 17, 18 and 19. Tommy Czeschin flew from CA to MN to coach the camp. From here he went to Wake World Championships in Minneapolis MN.

The camp went well, great weather and a great turn out. We had 19 registered campers from age 7 to 44!

We decided to take a quick night session just before the video premiere of "On the Loose". Here's a shot of Tommy behind our Tige' 20V (no swim deck).

It is a very real photo. It was taken around 10:15 p.m. Just a little help with some remote flashes. I can't take credit for the photo, I was the boat driver.

Travis Lang was the photographer... very talented. His website is tlangphoto.com He takes pictures for all of our wakeboard, wakesurf, skateboard and snowboard programs.

(jdjjamesz) · (jdjjamesz) **Join Date: Mar 2008** 07-29-2010, 8:02 AM

I need to have him come up here,we have ocean liner lights on the boat,you can surf all night.but cant get the photos dialed at night..

(jdjjamesz) · (jdjjamesz) **Join Date: Mar 2008** 07-29-2010, 8:03 AM

heres some..

(F725) · (F725) **Join Date: May 2010** 07-29-2010, 12:40 PM

Nice. Looks like just a single flash point?

Travis was using 2 flash positions I believe... none on the camera itself.

I surfed behind an X star last summer at dark... he had the l.e.d.'s under the deck. It was so rad! The wave was a neon pink or blue. I didn't have the camera equipment to take photos of that but it would've been sick.

(gunz) · (gunz) **Join Date: Sep 2001** 07-29-2010, 1:58 PM

I think we needed a BIG spot light.

(F725) · (F725) **Join Date: May 2010** 07-29-2010, 7:38 PM

This is by far my favorite shot of from the wakesurf camp. Talk about the right lighting! Photo by Travis Lang.
