Have I mentioned lately I love my Epic *PICS added*
« on: August 03, 2004, 23:45:55 pm »
So this morning we pull into my favorite riding spot (Dwayne, you know the place).  
It's 6:40 am and the lake is glass and the sun is just above the hills on the horizon across the lake.  We put in the boat the water with the fat seat already filled up from the previous evening.  So we go into the cove while filling the fat sac in the bow, jump on a board and start wakeboarding while the sun is rising and it's about 80 degrees out side.  
The wake is perfect, very clean, very firm, not to peaky, and not to rampy.  I'm on my new wakeboard and bindings that I have never even used before (Parks 138 bio with CWB Zues boots) and I rode the best I have ever ridden since i broke my ankle 8 months ago.  Just out in the Yota, catching sun, riding on the butter with My Wife, my 2 year old (that we had to wake up to get her out here), and 3 friends.  Life just doesn't get any better than that.  We had 3 sets each and unfortunantly it was time to load up and go to work.  The lake was still glass and it was calling me to stay longer but I gotta pay those bills.

I love my Epic and I LOVE the Lake.. Makes me almost forget about all those days were there are 20 tubers,jetskiers, and other boats flying around like a mad circus.

I just got in, we have been going out in the evenings. Nobody there during the week. We saw a dumb hillbilly guy with a canoe paddle trying to propel a Glastron yesterday, I was dumb enough to ask him if he needed help. He said that he put in a little ways up the lake, and ran out of gas. It was a 16 ft boat, I tied a tube rope up to him and got him up to 20mph. Had to go about 10 miles to his ramp, I should have just siphoned him some gas! Still, it was kind of cool to help the guy out. Next time I pull him to the nearest ramp and let him use my cel!

7 AM this morning, same experence as blindside except one difference, my 5 year old (just turned) got up on his own on and rode the Parks 138.  All it took was the promise of a new rescue hero and he got up first try ever.

Where do live Brent?! I need to move to your lake. We went out last night at 6:30 and waited 2 hours for the lake to flatten out. We finally gave up and decided to move to California. Our season in Washington is so short, every outing missed makes that 8 months of boat storage that much harder!

I live in Dallas.  We can board year round.  December through February require a dry suit and a boat heater (glad my epic came with one) but besides that, it's great.  The best thing about those months Dec-Feb is you are always gauranteed butter and to be the only boat on the lake.

Brent....Brent, Brent, Brent...   (like the Starbuck's commercial).

Jasonli, don't move to SoCal if you like riding. Norcal's better.
