Let's talk about getting you surfing! Once you toss the rope and ride, you don't go back!!

And go!

Jim, we need to see pictures or we will not believe that you can surf!

If you do learn to surf, you can drag the picture into the edit window.

Jim and his wife Jill taught my wife @Rana to surf in a matter of minutes. We had spent hours trying before having the good fortune to see them on the highway on their way to the lake.

I want to know how you got up with your daughter on the board! I think my daughter would love to try that! Awesome stuff....perhaps we need a surfing camp!

I learned to Surf behind 007 and Jim Buck's boats (pretty sure they'll both be here soon along with OperationROL and the midwest crew!)

Yeah. I'm really worried that we may not have a summer on Texoma this year. If we do finally get some water then Travis just name a weekend and we'll make connections.

Unfortunately your lake is empty. You will have to come to Lake Ouachita where @Backwash can teach you to surf.
Bruce I do want to check out your lake. It looks awesome and so clear! I'm trying to decide if we should change our summer vacation plans with the camper to a boating vacation staying in a cabin at a certain large lake in Arkansas.

Don't have any to post. That's been our issue. Camera phone vids suck. Bought a GoPro over winter and you can bet plenty of videos coming soon. On getting up with daughter. Just have her in front of you holding on to your legs. As long as she is still and holds on, she's along for the ride!

A step by step how to video would be awesome! Most of us can't even imagine how the heck you get onto the water while moving.

And WELCOME ABOARD!!
