Calling GA Members

lets talk about the real success story of the weekend...the old man got a new profile pic!

did you reinforce that boom at all? cause watching the other videos I had from earlier in the day it didn't look particularly stout at any point

Injury update from the weekend: IAughtNaut thinks he is good to go Sat. morning on Lanier. The boom obviously was not getting a chance to rest between runs, got pissed off and bent out of shape. However, after a visit to qualified technicians (not the Deen boys) it has had it's problems straightened out and ready to be put back into play without any structural damage. So, Ben the "boom buster" lost his nickname.   

Sure looks like a good time, great weather and some quality fellowship.

Adam, it is such a great thing that you and your dad can get out and enjoy events like this together. It was what it life is to be about.

Well, I guess it happened, here's the pics.

Great couple days with some CCFan homies.









And some videos

Started the weekend determined to do some long line deeps with a low pull behind the 75. Look at how bad that position is...completely reverted to laying flat on my back...no chance. Oh yeah, also working on learning to cheek. This was my first attempt. We were a little slow, see if you can guess where I gave up and asked for help. I made it out on my own each time after this one.



Dad loves his new tricks



Friday wasn't a loss, hit my fist step off in close to 10 years



Footing on Saturday-
Ben (jbb) warming up the boom



Tumble turns into a pretty violent unplanned front flip...but I never actually tumbled up on the short line before, so call it a win.



Dad working on his deep waters on the five foot line. He's struggling to get his back up high enough, skied this one away anyway.



Jeff (cphase) getting back into footing



We had that boom for over 20 years, it didn't owe us a cent



Jeff again, watch the little head nod to his family at the end, haha



Morfoot using the last of the flat water at the end of the day



Back on the long line, getting thrashed around, and then apparently I wanted to see how far outside the wake I could get. Plant was ok, just couldn't ski it out.



Again, way outside the wake, found some rollers, donezo



Sunday, decent water, bounced off the top of the wake



And this is the one that did me in...if you slow it down you can see one of my legs go way over my head...its getting better. On for this weekend for sure.



Some of you may know my dad got a new prop recently, he kinda likes it

I'll get them up tonight after work, I had no desire to do anything except medicate on Sunday.

Man if only some one had the foresight to video the runs, that would have been great!

Since IAughtNaught is hanging round this week and he and the folks are headed up to Lanier this weekend whose in for another meeting of the Lanier Crew? I can bring the smoker and have some smoked chicken for a later lunch on Sat but need to know whose coming besides the following?

Morfoot
NautiqueHunter
Jackiewdeen
IAughtNaut
Toertel
Jimsport93

Y'all pipe up!

As co-host I am want to thank the Jeff, Jeff and family(cute family), and Ben for their efforts to come see our hole of water.
Too bad that we had a few wind ripples on such a gorgeous two days. Next time maybe 74wind can get a pull. As for "boom buster Ben", compost happens. By the way, nice rig you have.We will hopefully be ready for the next visit.
As for Morfoot and the Southern Belle, it was our pleasure. I got to ski behind her as well as drive her. Always a good time to be had. Some of his still pics and Adams videos will show what a good time we had.

We had a blast, want to THANK the Deen’s for the pulls, patience, instruction, video’s and camaraderie. My family and I enjoyed the day. Also like to thank TimBob (morfoot) for the pulls and camaraderie. I had forgotten just how much fun it was footin with friends now I can’t wait for the next set!

long line deep behind miss scarlett, legs went different directions...groin is shredded. working on videos

Well, IAughtNaut, welcome to GA and maybe we'll hook up on Lanier this next weekend.
BTW boom bender, pics or it didn't happen...

may have more time to post videos tonight than I did yesterday, I finally found a boat I couldn't break, and not only couldn't I break her, she broke me. No more skiing for this guy today...
