Damnit I would go nuts with a beard like that. I can’t stand my shit if I go more than a week without shaving. Kudos to you for being able to rock it.We were going to try and surf this morning but had rain roll in. Might try later on this evening once people get off the lake. Super crowded here and the water is complete trash during the day no matter where we go. Just about had to light into some family on their runabout trying to teach their kid to ski. Freaking idiots come into the cove we were at and a few other boats anchored and decided to drop off a passenger on their boat in the lake and then do circles and figure 8’s around everyone. Told the wife I had enough when the anchor lost hold because of their constant wakes so we pulled anchor to hit another cove in peace. As I was leaving of course they stop and gather the idiot they left in the water along with the kid. I gave them a good dose of their own medicine as I left and circled about 75’ off their boat as they tried to gather the kid and person in water. Rocked their asses good with rear ballast full and the look they gave me was priceless. Too bad they are probably too stupid to understand why everyone was leaving the cove and why I gave them rollers as we left. Bunch of dumbass newb boaters here this weekend which is expected during the holiday. I am glad this is the last holiday of the summer and kids are back in school so the lake population should start dropping soon and we can have good water. We leave tomorrow morning so hoping we can get a run in later today if the weather holds out!
I haven’t shaved in I think 3-4 years lol. Just trim the beard back in the summer and I let it get longer during the winter.
Daughters first time driving a boat this morning and she did great just tooling around at less than 15 mph.

Shit good for you. I can't shave more than once or twice a year. Even when I trim it it's just with clippers, lol. I think it's laziness TBH
You have to get past the itch phase of the hair growth. Once the hair gets a little longer it starts to get softer which makes it bearable. I used to have it about 4-5” longer during the summer lol but it gets on my nerves at work when it gets caught on my shirt collar. This is the length I tend to keep it at these days and easier to maintain. Still takes about 10 minutes more to groom each morning because of how mine grows lol. It’s pretty ratty in that pic because of riding in the wind.
Yesterday we surfed for 3 solid hours and I used about 6 gallons of fuel. Idk if that's good or not, this is my first tow boat.
Don't seem too bad to me. 3 hours of fun on water for 6 gallons. Thats cheap fun to me.
It's awesome isn't it?!
I tell my wife to try and hit me with the boat when coming to get me, lol.
Amen to that. My 242 handled big waves with no issue. It's one thing that has me worried about switching to a wake boat. Most of the newer ones have a lot of freeboard like yours though. Last year we were out on the 4th of July to watch the fireworks. Nothing like a 1,000 boats all leaving at once when the show was over. I had 10 people on my 242 and it handled it with no problem at all. Kept the nose up and felt very safe.Having a tall freeboard boat kicks ass! The added storage depth is just a bonus but the real reason why we went with the Max was it eats big rollers no problem!
haha yea it is strange how we build up the persona of someone on the other end of the keyboard
