Madison who will turn 7 in September, got up yesterday both on a rope off the boom twice and then deep water without help 3 times. I had left for work this AM and mom called to tell me that Madison was really sore.

8" wide skis and 75# kid -- talk about a great weight to displacement ratio. Oh to be young again!

Your kids are always your kids, regardless of age, right?

Here's my son on our 2004 Mapple...

[NeilM]

Here's a fun one... my son's friend is riding on a tube, about 10 feet in front of my son, taking pictures with a Canon camera in an underwater case. I took this picture from the boat.

[MarkP]

Hey Neil

Great shot of the kid..

[SteveO]

Neil, great shots. I have heard of the tube photo trick. I told Madison she has to master her ski's before I get her a wakeboard. As she was making her first pass, I told my ski buddy that I gaurenteed that after she was back in the boat within 5 minutes, she would bring up the wakeboard. While it wasn't the first thing she said, it only took her about 2 minutes. Maybe I have the next Dallas Friday.

SteveO -- yep -- get her the board, but make her promise to keep skiing too... it's amazing how quickly you get 'rusty' if you don't keep skiing as well as wakeboarding.. It takes a lot of boat gas to create a Dallas Friday...

MarkP -- thanks... we had a great summer -- now have 460 hours on my 2002! Other than the Perfect Pass is acting weird (fluctuates), the MC ran great!

I drove for a learn to ski our club put on last Sat. Two boats and 28 skiers over 4 hours ages 5 to about 35. Almost a 100% sucess rate. Even driving 8 mph with a 60# kid on the boom becomes easier when you see them smile as the get up for the first time.

I can't forget my daughter. She set the family record on the wakesurfer - a solid 15 minute ride (my legs give out long before then.. oh, to be young..)

[BriEOD]

Neil!! How have you been? Any Marathons this summer?

BTW, how old is your daughter. With all do respect my friend that looks like a better shot for the swimsuit thread than the kids thread!!
