That guide was pretty proficient at flipping the raft back over and pulling you all back in quickly, wow!

Yes he was! He made it a point to not use assistance from any other guides haha

@ToddW850 , I’ve come to really appreciate rafting (lazy river and white water) as a power boating alternative. In part because all I have to do is pay and show up. No towing involved. Sure I have to paddle more while white water rafting but at least everyone or almost everyone in the boat has to paddle as well. I think the part I like best is that I’m not expected to be the captain, seems like I would really enjoy being a guest on someone else’s power boat.

My newest GoPro video from my area (Destin, FL). Ran into some very playful dolphins recently. Always a good day on the water.

This was from last summer at Lake Shasta and I will have another one as we are getting ready to head down there along with the new 242x

Most recent video from Florida Powerboat Club Key West poker run.... Such a great experience and can't wait to get back next year.... See if you can spot the Yamaha (not mine)

Never saw a Yamaha. Just saw way too many big engines hanging off the back of boats. Those things must be floating gas cans to feed that displacement.

OMG kids, we have boats in the water in MN!!!! The water is only 55 degrees, but that is what neoprene is for!


So after staring at this custom transom bag in my garage for months, I had to fill it up. I inflated with air as suggested to get the positioning and straps right. Then started pumping water with an air vent open. It could not have been easier.

One quick surf was all I needed to remind me, THE WATER IS TOO DAMN COLD FOR SUBMERSION!!! And the boat without fins is crazy, and the wake is super dirty for the first round. Just waiting on the TV - Wakes to arrive to clean it up.

Enjoy!
