There's not much going on in here lately and I'm bored, so here's a trip report from a wakeskating session with Tom on Friday morning.
I bought a jet ski last month. It is fun.
I also got a wakeskate and Friday was only the second time I've been out on it. Carvebeast told me on Wednesday or Thursday that'd he'd be in town for the day. He met me at my place pretty early and we were on the water at about 7:15ish. You have to get out early on Norman as it gets CHOPPY, especially on July 4th weekend.
We went to a cove I knew about and were treated to a fairly smooth water surface...the equivalent of about 6 inches of pow I'd say. We rode for about 2 and a half hours or so. Good times.

We both learned how to boardslide the wake. Here's Tom demonstrating.
And a little 15 second instagram video.
