    Great Day!

    Well today Wakeboard1 and I got out on our little piece of heaven (secret spot). Both of us have been working on a toe 3. On friday he stuck it. Today we went back out for a few sets and I finally nailed it. Great feeling landing new tricks. Well just thought I would share the stoke.

    Here are a few pics from the day. Oh and some pics on the water of the do it yourself camo job that I promised about 4 months ago.

    RE: Great Day!

    Landing new tricks always brings a new level of stoke to the day. Congratulations!!!

    The secret spot looks fantastic. I wish I had a secret spot like that!!!

    Oh yeah, and the do-it-yourself camo job looks great.

      RE: Great Day!

      Awesome pics. Both the boarding and Camo job! Is that a wrap or giant decal? Would love to see a close-up. I think my next boat will definitily be white. Lots of flexibility that way.

              your custom sticker job looks clean on the water.
              you may want to think of doin that as a sideline.

                I would imagine it way significantly more cost effective than doing the camo wrap, if that's even available any longer.

                  My 11 year old is starting to try tricks and we love the pics. Two questions, how long is your rope and about how fast were you going?

                    211Nick, Sorry I am just now replying. I just noticed this thread was moved and saw a buch more replies.
                    Everyone rides a little different rople lengths and speeds. According to what you are comfortable with
                    I am at 75ft 22.7 mph. Walt was at 80ft 23mph. I have ridden faster and slower at different lengths and that is just where I feel more comfortable.
                    Alot of it has to do with skill level and how much weight are you running.
                    I pull and 12 year old from time to time and he rides at 65ft 20mph. He goes wake2wake and can do 180's and grabs. Getting close on a heel 3 and a backroll.
                    I guess I would say pick a speed he is comfortable with and then set the rope length where he would be just before the white washed part of the wake.
