Well,
after just picking up a ski at the end of last year.......after not having been on a standup in oh......10 years or so.....and only riding it basically once for an hour or so before I bought it last year......It was so dang nice today that it hit me! I left work at @ 2:30....snatched up a couple bottles of Yamalube 2R and loaded the square up! I filled 'er up with gas, donned a shorty and my lifejacket, and dumped my sheeyat in the river. I pulled the truck up and parked it...... and what do I hear........??....??? Holy sheeeeeyat! A Barge coming down the Tennessee River! I ran back down to the ramp and fired up the square 701 with dual 38's and a B pipe and blipped my way through the no wake zone. It wasn't a weak azz barge wake.....this bad boy had some HUGE surf behind it being kicked up!!! Guess what I did?
Bwahahahahahaha! I pussed out and went waaaaay back behind the barge and hit some small rollers!:biggrin: Hahahahahahah! the stuff that was up near the front of the barge was definitely backflip material.:bigeyes: I know if I would have been on my old XP or HX...I would have been seeing some SERIOUS air.:skull2: Anyway....I had a really great afternoon. I burned up a tank of gas all alone out on the river. the water wasn't bad, and I am definitely gonne be hittin it at least a couple times a week now. The ski ran flawless! I had a blast... I am so glad spring is here!!! :Banane01: I am ready to get out there with Adrian some and motivate me to learn how to do some sick stuff!
