Wow, what an awesome weekend!!! Thanks again to Tom/Connie for putting up with the Wrecking Crew. I feel like we invoked "squatters rights" but you welcomed us with open arms. Also to Bobby/Tab for joining in. That BB'86 is simply gorgeous. Adam, HW and John are just that, the Wrecking Crew!!! Thanks Tom for that moniker. I think it might stick.

I can't add anything to the pics or vids but I think what everyone has posted already pretty much says everything.

Pretty cool way to send HW and Adam back to the cold. See you guys again at SJRR and we can do it again.

don't feel bad Tom, me and HW were up late computering with JBear last night in the command center to get his pictures posted to...we musta had to hit F12 a dozen times.

man, the sound of those boats is really making me miss summer...thanks for posting!!

Ha! The guys were being kind NOT posting the actual picture of the dock. The previous owner (Who is on CCfan and had a sweet 72' and his son had a just as sweet 2001? Air Nautique) had moved to the property after 3 hurricanes passed over the city (Charlie, Jeanne, Francis) in 2004 and left the lakes extremely above their normal levels. I guess the dock builder, who was hurting for work, was able to convince the P.O. that the levels would remain high, so the dock was built. It now is at least 15-20' from the water and looks like an alpine ski ramp. Hollywood and Adam were daring each other to do a dock start, but they did not drink enough.

Love the lines of Eddie's boat. Classic. That photo reminded my of this one, from about 30 years ago, with our Magicman at the helm. You know, when you know how to have fun, don't mess with it.

this one should be titled JBear taping up to give the youngsters a show

Hey Jpass,
It is Lake Elbert Right next to Polk State College in Winter Haven.

Awesome pics. What lake is that?

what fun! Really makes me eager to get this ski season started.

Nice job, Adam. Really good progress.

Just hit F12 John.

LOL...Nice one Adam!

Just for fun, cause me and Hollywood are laughing at it...here's what happens when I try to take my feet of the rope from the start...I am not nearly good enough at this to get cocky.

Good instructing, bad execution.

Ok guys, more fall out from the Wrecking Crew tour

Started with some wakeboarding...Tab (Bobby's stepson)



Thomas...or Seascamper JR



Then we did some footing...I thought it would be ok to take my feet off the rope...it was not.



This time I kept my feet on the rope, just long enough to run out of lake



Nailed it.



One more just to make sure it counted...although this one was much more frantic during the glide.



Then Hollywood threw down a flipturn back run just in case I was feeling cocky about myself.



So this wrecking crew tour has really taken on a life of its own...Bobby brought his big block 86 over to hang out and Eddie decided he needed to take a run behind it...yes Tim, he took your advice and he's been pounding sand.



Then it was time for the JBear experience.



Once more with feeling.



Hollywood, not to be outdone by Eddie's back run, decided that he needed to ski around the lake 3 times. Patrick got bored after the first two laps and cut the video cause he got bored!



Just an awesome time had by all. A big thank you to our gracious hosts and willing drivers. Somebody made the comment that we squeezed about 2 weeks of fun into 2 days and I believe it. This has been a blast, and I am not looking forward to getting on that airplane tomorrow...
