thats sweet ass sweet. Are those just like defected ones or something? Thats awesome (I know nothing about wakeboarding, but they look nice!)

jobshadowing, eh? kinda like my K2 deal. Thats awesome.

I'm not sure where I got the blanket, probably costco, we like that place.

I know a guy that works there, and he was able to show me around, and yeah in the second pic is all the defective ones that were cut wrong. But the first pic is the good ones, I bought the parks, and he gave me the scape free, because when they shipped them in, the whole batch had a fin drilled a couple degrees off center, so all I had to do was drill a new hole, and its a perfect wakeskate now.

Its funny how small of a shop it is, but about 40-50% of all production is done over in china now, so they didn't need anything big.

 
are the messed up pnes still rideable?

I like the new top of the scape graffics. THe grip seems nice. Ride the scap without fins you will like it so much more.

the parks and era are definatly not rideable, when they cut them, they cut them too short and they have chunks missing.. the byerly is rideable, but when they put the inserts in for the treads for the boots, they were put in crooked, so its not a big deal, but still messed up.

and I've never wakeskated before, so hopefully I'll get it down, then play with the fins.

 
and Gnu is one of the very few snowboard companies that still makes their boards in house, so that would be a pretty cool jobshadow.

 
yea, they said they have never done a jobshadow before, i just gotta email and see if anyone will be willing to do it

hoose is a p i m p
 
wakeskating is hella fun. Its all i do now. No fins is weird at first but on ce u get the hang of the whole deal no fins is the way to go.

Most pro models have integrated fins though, so they don't really need bolt on fins in the first place.

But it helps the regular guys out keepin the board under control.

 
hahaha, i was at ski masters today, and they just got this board in....its the new STATE, but the graphics were printed wrong. its got the new byerly graphics on the top, and the new era graphics on the bottom...they are trying to sell it for 240...id say its a pretty good deal just cause its one of a kind. i wouldnt buy the state tho

hoose is a p i m p
 
hahaha nice, were they just trying to sell it as a demo?

the employees there wern't the smartest people in the world, I could see something like that happening.

 
i dont know. theres nothing wrong with the board besides the graphics. they are selling it for like 240 or something. i think itd be cool to have just beacause its one of a kind, and nobody will ever have the same board, but then again i dont have 240 $ to blow on a state.

 
I weent wakeskating this weekend it was so good. WEater was cold but glassy.

Yeah I went wakeboarding yesterday, it was way cold, but we had a drysuit so it was OK. Tried wakeskating for the first time, its pretty fun, slick as hell though. Somehow I threw down this backside boardslide on the wake, it was pretty cool

The parks is awesome though, I love it.

 
wakeskating's fun...'ferdinand' only wakeskates, no wakeboarding, and he seems to find that cool, but i wouldnt be able to do that,, i like doing both.

 
i noly wakeskate now too. On occasion tho i like to go out and throw tantrums

One nice thing about wakeskating is you can use anything for a tow, did you guys see the pictures of byerly riding through tennis courts during one of the hurricanes down in florida? It was pretty cool

 
i wish i could have gone wakeboarding this last weekend, it was so nice. oh well skimboarding was pretty fun yesterday

lake washington almost every day. if im not there, ill be at spenser lake, and then i go to lake chelan for a week every summer. there is a little glacier lake over by mt, rainier that i think we are gonna try and go to at least once this summer too, its always so smooth

 
is it the lake you can see right off the highway when your heading up to paradise? If it is, I know afew guys who go down there, they love it, they say theres never anyone there no matter what day it is.

If you see a black and white searay with black monster tower, give a wave!

 
weekends if the weather is nice it can get a little busy but really not bad at all, everybody usually just goes over to mason lake so spencer stays nice. during the week its basically butter all day

ive been there 3 times so far....1 of the times was last may and it rained every day, but it was still rad freestyle walking and wakeskating. another was once last summer, and it was labor day weekend, and it was crowded with speedboats going as fast as they could, then stopping, turning around, and doing it again. Then i went this last summer, and it was pretty windy and overcast most of the time (aka choppy), then the day i left it was butter for the rest of the week. hopefully this year i will have BETter LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!fuk

 
sooper dooper small. thats why its alwyas smooth. i believe the deepest part of the lake is around 38 ft.? we measured it on the depth finder once. and there is a friggen otter in that lake to, its pretty rad.

 
it was probably us racing people across the lake in my friends uncles barefoot boat. that think is so fast, and the other kid over by the lillypads was probably racing us too. lol i dont know what to compare its size to but its a decent sized lake but not to big to have a million people out there

no i dont think it was you. It was some guy that is always out there. Its a long cigarette boat. but yea the lake is a perfect size for wakeboarding, still very small non the less though

 
mason lake mostly and some lake wa. i wakeboarded in the speed zone of lake union once. of course the police pulled us over... there is a cop station right there, but we didnt get a ticket. tehre is a wakeboard cult yuo know.
