NICE!!!
And admittedly much more affordable than a day at WBC. My first run was on my 15th birthday as well. Was just thinking how a concern most newbs have is what if they catch their toe... usually just have to show them a pic of them selves after to put that thought to rest... I think Cams toes look like eagle talons getting ready to grab a rabbit at times!!! Nice job CCF birthday squad! Is that his first beer too? |

It was a good day. I'm still a little hoarse from constantly yelling to get his hips forward and keep his knees bent but it was really cool seeing him foot for the first time, It's always cool to see that.
Dad and the whole crew were pretty proud of him. I'm sure it was one of those birthdays a that a young man will remember for a very long time sharing with his Dad. That's really what it's all about. I felt pretty privileged to be a part of that. |

When people run down to the lake to see what's making that noise, you've succeeded.

Jbear is a genius. We followed his plan to a Tee. Barefooting all morning, cable at OWC through the afternoon. Ended with kart racing and classic car show. Home at midnight. I tried to get into Twin Peaks for supper but they had a PPV fight on and $10 cover. I loaded all his buddies in our boat yesterday and rode all day after that! I had to use my truck with a strap and lock the hubs to get his butt out of bed this morning for school!
Thanks John. Thanks Eddie..So awesome! Ill work on getting some video up tonight. After my nap of course. |

True.. he wakeboards at 24mph (think OMG) and barefoots at around 39. All I ever do is put gas in that damn boat anyway. That's OK, putting gas the boat makes me happy. |

don't take him skiing with Eddie, too costly. he'll teach him to barefoot and he won't ever want to ride that wakeboard again. the money you spent on the board will be just sitting in the garage never getting used, and you'll be paying for twice as much gas to make the boat pull him 38 instead of 19.

You are right on that for sure. I more ment getting him something that then he could do with you for a long time. Like if he did not have a ski or something. Like for me my dad bought me a dirt bike and then we had so much fun growing up riding together or I remember getting my first shot guy and all the hunting we got to do together because I had that. I ment buying him something that you two can use for a long time. But going skiing with him in orlando would be a great thing too. |

Gordon we built the '79 together. I am looking for a truck project to build for his first whip. He has a nice Jobe ski and a bad a$$ Ronix Bill board with Shred town bindings 1 year old and there just plain isn't a better board made yet. So I called Eddie and Im pretty sure we are headed to Orlando, crash at Club Olsen and go kill the lake in the morning.
I still remember every detail of the week spent tent camping and fly fishing the Salmon River in the Sawtooth mountains with my Dad when I was 16. Just us two guys. My dad has been gone 6 years now. I cant remember anything he ever bought me. Pretty sure we are gonna go shred with the Orlando Crew and pretty sure Cam is going to be STOKED! |
