Wake-skating

I got to try out the new wakeskate! :D It's super cool, and I think it has lots of potential. It's different enough that it'll take a little getting used to and all, but the amount of pop one gets out of the thing is incredible. I was getting some huge ollies out of the thing. Way bigger than I had before. I also got a pretty big wake to wake, and landed a toe-side 180 spin (not to be confused with a shove-it; the board never left my feet) to switch off the wake, which is not nearly as complicated as it sounds, but cool and somewhat difficult nonetheless. Now, it has been quite cool recently, and I am sure you are all wondering about the water temperature. I will not hesitate to inform you that it was squite shockingly cold. However, since the air was quite warm, it was fine once one was up, and after one got back in the boat. So yeah, the water was definately not the sort of temperature one could get used to, but the coldness was totally worth it. :D And there definately will not be any more runs since the boat has been winterized and the track was taken in. lol Anyway, my mom got a bunch of pictures of Todd and myself using the thing, so I'll be making a facebook album of the event soon. :D Tootles!

I really want to go sailing one last time. But by the way the weather's turning on us I doubt I'll have time.

Heirron said...

lol Well, you'll have to get a hold of Mark, because the way ours is sitting up by the silver maple in a trailer leads me to believe it won't be much good for actual use again this year. ;)

TO, Heirron

Carpenter said...

Yeah, I meant Mark's.

Varda said...

So what kind of time-frame are we looking at here for that album? I think your definition of "soon" is quite a bit different from mine. lol

Heirron said...

Carpenter: Okay, good. :)

Ellicia: lol I mean, any time I have time and manage to remember, so who knows really. :P

(You spelled my name wrong again. lol) /poke (in the eye!) ;) j/k

Heirron said...

Oh, tee hee, um, OW! For heaven's sake, I need my eye. I can't help it if you make your name (a fake name I might add) difficult to spell. ;)

TO, Heirron

Varda said...

It's actually a real name. Just a rare one.

Heirron said...

Well, any name is a "real" name. If some kid were named "Korbledor" it would be a real name since that kid has it. I would just be uncommon. Also, I meant fake in that it is not your real name.

TO, Heirron

Varda said...

Well, it's not like I'd freak out if you called me Jenn. lol Or Varda. You have other options, rather than using the one you can't seem to remember how to spell. :P Hehe. Not that it's a big deal if you misspell it. . .

Heirron said...

lol Yeah, well, I like to use people's adopted name for the given environment. It just seems more correct or something. lol

TO, Heirron
