    Last week of the season...a TR

    With 50 degree water and 45 degree air temp I was the only one willing to go

    It just looked to good to pass up


    like butter

    so close and yet so far away

    when in doubt lean back
    These pics were taken over the last two days, I pulled my boat out last night after a quick ski-snow is in the forecast for the rest of the week.

    actually the "titties" for a h2o skier is a slight ripple from a 4-5mph wind; that ^ is "titties" for footin'

    nice TR though T; actually made me miss it a "smidge"

    Only boat out on a sheet of glass = $$$$.

    Very nice.

    I only see one color and no section loops on your rope... but it looks shorter than a full 75'... whatcha length / speed these turns at?

    and.... Where are the ballz???


    Edit to guess: Waloon Lake?

    Xover-I was hoping you would see this thread, forget that ripple crap thats only good for the course, glass is for free skiing-if you ever get back to the midwest I guarantee you will convert.

    Yep it's Walloon, a very busy lake....I just caught it on the right day I guess

    As for the boat yep I have a 196 Nautique, I'm skiing 41 off @ 35mph in these photos-makes it nice for talking to the driver while skiing

    Sweet there are some waterskiers on the forum.

    I feel like an outcast being 21 years old and a water skier and not a bro wakeboarder.


    awww, yes probably the best thing about going to Chico state here is the fact that I get to ski 3-5 sets a week on private lakes.,


    and when in doubt, put all your weight on the front foot!

    Some of mine from the past few weeks(Marcus Brown's lake).









    Really late to 4 ball, but I ran the pass.







    And I refuse to mentally get out of water ski mode until the sierras are white again, for good.

    ^^^^very nice. I agree with you on being one of the few. I only know of two slalom skiers under 30 on my lake. As for the change of seasons it occurs when the snow flies, as long as I'm on some type of ski every month of the year then I am good-last 3 years with overlap doing both in the same month
