Ha ha. Catching that front edge sucks. Not a big snowboarder myself. I can ride but my love is for wakeboarding. I love gliding across the water and flying through the air crossing the wake. I've caught an edge too many times. It might be water but when you're going 25 mph and come to a stop with your face making instant contact with the water it hurts like hell. I like the water more than the snow.
Wake boarding is sweet too, especially with the right boat and rigging. My first time was with some other guys and a bass boat. Not to be cocky, but I knew it was gonna be easy to get up. Even with my friend that didn't know WTF he was doing with the boat, lol.

I had to signal him to give the bitch more gas, but up the first time, no problem. Then almost immediately I started trying 180's. Underestimating the force of water and not leaning back enough.

Eat shit, and that fucking water ain't soft on nutsacks. I kept trying though. My thoughts were, next time I'm gonna wear a cup, lol.

Nobody else could get up. One guy decided to keep hanging on as he let the boat drag him along, lol. That dude was puking and shit after. It was funny ass shit.

Had several boats over the years. A couple Mastercrafts and a Supra. A Mastercraft X1 which was the same hull as the first X-Star, a Mastercraft X2 with the pickle fork front, and a Supra Launch. The X1 had a ridiculous vertical wake when weighted down with 1500 lbs of ballast. It was insane. The X2 never measured up and the Supra was a beast but took 2000 lbs+ of ballast to get the wake good.

Although none of those were as vertical as the Super Air Nautique a friend of mine had. That thing was just crazy hitting that wake. It was like coming into a wall of water. Good air to be had if you could handle it.

There used to be a big wakeboard scene here. We have lots of good water on the Willamette. But the sissies made it all a no wake zone so they could paddle board. I even filmed parts of a commercial wakeboard video back around 2003. Good times.

I thought that this was going to be this. Props to the Dude Grows podcast for getting this track deeply implanted into my brain.
