Okay - I got one video of Andre up on my youtube account. What a hoot that was. Please forgive the windy audio. I need to try the electronic windscreen feature on my video camera.

Awesom Video from your kid and Andre! Did you take the video and drive at the same time?

Isn't that what Perfect Pass is for?

Just kidding. The first trip out I got my (old) dad to tape...which didn't work. The camera was on when it should have been off and off when it should have been on. We got a frame or two of the start and finish of each run. Halfway through Andre volunteered to tape and coach at the same time.

On the second on third days, we also had Quinn in the boat. So between Andre, Quinn, and me we had driving and video covered. My dad got to enjoy it all.

It is nice to have pros in the boat...they can help. Most of my guests don't know the bow from the stern or a rope from a line.

More to come...stop me when y'all have had enough.

Also, listen to that PCM as we round the turn.

Awesome video. That last step from the water into the boat is amazing. I've never been around barefooting so that may be common, but to me, it was awesome.

Thanks for sharing!

Common for the better ones. Watch some of the barefootcentral.com videos...you'll enjoy them. Later I'll put up a video of his first ride with me earlier this summer. He was in plain shorts with no suit and it looks so out of place. We were at the end of the lake and he was in the boat (no BF suit) and told me "wide open". I asked if he was going to get in the water. Response: "just go". I opened it up and focused on the driving. My dad was a little slow on the tape but we got most of it. Later I asked my dad how he started. "He had one hand on the tower and just stepped out onto the water and grabbed the boom...then reached over and grabbed the handle and went at it." Then he ended it by stepping back into the boat which we have on tape. Very cool.

****! I've made the turn at the end in Katy on a slalom ski. I can't imagine doing it barefoot. that's pretty cool.

We were at 43/44 along the straight ....wasn't 40 on the turn, but close to it. Listen to the engine when we get back on the straight....wasn't much rpm left to get back to top speed.

Have we run out of "money shots" or "why we own 'em boyz" shots for the year?

I hope not!

2003 Air Nautique 216

Here is a picture of my newest Nautique. It is the 3rd one we have owned. This is currently the only picture I have of it. A ski buddy and I were getting ready to ski at SKI PARK a tournament lake in Orting Washington. Otherwise the boat lives on an Auqua Lift at Lake Steilacoom, in Lakewood Wa. where we ski year round.

I love the paint job on the tower.

RE: Re: Money Shot

WAKEKAT: did you ask for the tower base to remain black? just curious. im wondering is correct craft still fighting adhesive issues from the factory. when i bought my 02 new, some of the letters came off as well. and have read in the past others were having the same issue.

RE: Re: Money Shot

Maybe two new BF videos will lighten up some of the winter/holiday tension. I had the footage but clipped these out just last night.

I've got a few more to go.

PS. JrAirTool was asking me at dinner a few nights ago. "Dad, you think we'll be able to get back in the boat by late February?" I'm thinking he's already gettin' the itch.

This shot only makes me look forward to next spring!
I live in an area with a lot of fishermen and jet boats...so we get a lot of, so where do you put the rods or kicker on that thing...however the one common thread between all of us is the beautiful lake we live on.
Stuart Lake is located in the geographic centre of BC. The town of Fort St. James sit on its southeast end. In can be an ocean at times as it is 110k (sorry 65 miles) and over 10km wid at one point, so we have a little lake for our day to day course skiing. (See Anyone North of us? post from a couple of months ago)

We took this shot in early Oct racing home to the boat ramp after a great night of free skiing. Enjoy...
