Cru ~ Your 6yr old and 10 yr old are looking great. Both look soo comfortable out on the wb. How long have they been riding? That pic of your 6 yr old cutting for all he is worth is cool.
My 12 yr old little girl Madison up on the knee board and comfortable this year. She is now even starting to cut into the wake and bump off of the lip. She loves 360's and is now doing those while crossing the wake.

If you have some small kids on the kneeboard, it is fun to pull the line in by hand and surf them on the wake. My 7 y.o. loves it.

Thanks Emc ~ I'll give it a try. Our HO board rides much better then the plastic ones. Not sure if my 12 yr old can surf it but we will give it a try.

To be honest, I dont even own a kneeboard. We use a skimboard (one of those things you use at the beach). My older kids were telling my youngest about a kneeboard with a hook on it for the rope. I quickly jumped in and stopped that conversation! They can get up on anything....so long as they dont know any better!
They "surf" on their knees. Just pull them in until and guide them back and forth. You can even pull them all the way up to the platform when they are done. |

TY, they both just learned this summer. The pic of my daughter was on her first weekend riding. She use to ride with me(on the same wakeboard) when she was younger but always just wanted to kneeboard.
My son loves anything I do. He has been WB for alittle over a month. He would always just stand up on the kneeboard so I broke down and got them both there own WB. Your daughter is cutting it up on that kneeboard, I love it. The days on the water with the kids are always a blast. We try to get out on the lake a few times a week, gets hard with ball,bmx,cheer,dance,fishing=). Not sure who is having more fun me or them. |

Great Pictures.
I have been doing the same with my 10 and 13 years old girls this summer. The boom is the ticket for getting them comfortable. Donald |

She's having a lot of fun. Must have done 50 runs in the last two weekends. I think we will probably have the regular rope before end of summer. Not sure if we'll be able to untie the skis this year. We shall see. BKH

Brian looks like you will be putting a lot more hours on your boat in future seasons.
I like the "how easy is this" wave. I think she may having been waving you up so she could drop a ski or maybe even a "bomb out".

Thanks. He is 8. He spent some time sitting in the handle over the past year, so he was able to stand up pretty quick once he was able to get his feet around in front. |

Love the pictures!! Wow, 2 years old and she wasn't scared? I have to give it to her, she's very brave. My nieces are even scared of going into the pool alone and they are around 4 years old.

My kids (8 and 6) have come a long way this summer. In the early season they were still holding onto the boom with their skis connected.
Over Labor Day weekend they both were skiing long-line, cutting on both sides of the wake and starting to lift one ski. Even got them up double this weekend (my daughter had to ski on a pair of borrowed trainers, circa 1970, just like the ones I learned on), you should have hear her complain.
