What a freaking idiot....
Unless he’s wearing a wireless lanard. He looks like a sissy not a bad ass so I wouldn’t be surprised.
Someone send it to me in case I want to go surfing and need to socially distance, not funny.

YouTube has way too many of these guys ghost riding their wakes. There's one floating around with a guy actually falling back and losing his. I'm not sure how legit some of these are?
Found it:

I remember seeing one a while back, I think it was a pro rider, Austin Keen, who jumped off the boat -> swam to shore -> hopped on a bike (or something) -> got back ahead of the boat -> ran down the shore -> jumped on and skim boarded back onto the wave -> surfed the wave on the the swim platform -> and regained control of the boat.

I can't for the life of me find the video... I'm wondering if he was getting grief from sponsors and responsible people for encouraging stupidity...?
 
My hole saw failed on me this morning as I was drilling my first 2” hole for tweeters on the swim deck.

There should be a set screw that holds that pilot bit in just use an Allen key and tighten it up after you put the pilot back in.
if you drill a hole in a piece of wood with the holesaw first you can also use that as a guide if you break your arbor bit and it will keep the holesaw in place.
 
Out in the woods pulling taps.

We have had friends tell us they couldn't accept food from us, or even borrow a blu ray disk because of contamination. Then 2 days later we see them walking to another neighbor with a sympothy card because her mom had died. The one that had the death had friends over and kids all playing outside together. So i am torn if i am doing it right or not...
 
My 6 year old helped tear out a half wall today!

Finally got my deck stained. First time since the additions from last spring. Used a semi transparent on the trim, polls and balisters and used a solid on the floor, steps, and railings
The solid took just over 5 gallons. Its over 950 square feet of deck

My grandfathers house today. He has an airstrip in his backyard. From a young age i remember flying in my pawpaw’s planes. He had Cessnas, Pipers,etc. He was teaching me how to fly when I was a kid but lost interest. I would give anything to go back to those days and take it more serious. He’s in his 80’s now, but still loves airplanes.

Thanks! I posted it because I can't believe it either. I still pinch myself. Friends of ours always post pics on FB and states "We live where you vacation." I wish everyone could live down here (at least 6 months out of the year, someone gotta run the rest of everything!).
