I hope all is well wherever everyone is on this forum. I know there is chaos in a lot of places but I hope this brings some smiles here. Fortunately we have a lake in our back yard so social distancing can actually be fun. My family is all home and it’s 80 degrees in NC so my boys wanted to surf. Thanks to all the folks here we were up and running with no issues. Center bag full, gantlin swim deck bag and the wake booster. The boys love the wave! We did have to do the switch from regular to goofy. Maybe 15 minutes..

Awesome, looks great!!!

If you don’t mind a small tip, at least on Jacobs ride, the bag needs more water. You can see the top of the bag sloshing a little, that makes it a little less stable if you turn sharp or hit a Wake. Get that thing as tight as it’ll go and it should easily stay put. :)

High 80's tomorrow! We'll be doing some social distancing ourselves this weekend. We won't be doing any surfing this go round. Just some hanging out on the boat, maybe dip in the water a little, grill some dogs, and just hang out away from everything going on in the world.

I was out on Lake Norman yesterday too it was great. I was putting around a few coves smoking my cigar and it was weird seeing so many people working on their docks, boats and yards on a week day.

Out again today and it’s like it’s Memorial Day or 4th of July! Lots of traffic!

We were on LKN this weekend too!
We launched at Stumpy Creek in Mooresville and boy was it packed!
