What fun and finally one of those 80s winter days they always talk about that I seem to always miss...
The drag wasn't bad, plenty of bumpin and grinding in the middle. |

Very cool to watch Eddie! Nice to see that the care you took with the engine build did the job, makes power where you wanted it to and gets the job done.
As a non-footer (yet!), curious to ask why the middle person didn't stay between the wakes? |

Seeing this a little after the fact but pretty cool just the same. Looks like it was a nice pull and a great time!

The third photo links to a video. The video didn't work on the phone but it did on my computer. |

The water between the wakes is full of air and quite a bit harder to barefoot in. The water typically ends up as much in your face as under your feet. One footing in that fluff is pretty darn tricky. I think backwards is a little better to one foot in the fluff and also I think barefooting in general backwards is much easier but it does take a toll on the front neck muscles when you eat it. |

True statement with "most inboards", behind a BFN is quite different though, was surprised how nice it was back there the first time I footed behind one. Eddies boat may also be an exception to that rule. |

Ok I finally found the video, nothing gets past this observant Einstein.
Yeah that was pretty bad @$$ and kinda arousing with the motor. |
