An Afternoon with Daniel Watkins

[majestic]

These are Pictures from last weekend (sorry about the quality forgot camera had to use cell phone) on Lake Sammamish during my local dealer's demo days. Thanks to Sportboats Northwest for bringing Daniel Watkins out and letting us use a 09 24ve for several hours giving us lessons and a demo where he never even got in the 70 degree water. He said we were all nuts, but he was super cool and very helpful.

Is he trying to wakesurf with a wakeboard? OMG!!!

[Tequilasun]

nope da.bell, he's doing a boat start. You basically start with the tip of your board on the deck, then pay out along the line till you get to the handle. The water was cold man! LOL

70 degree's isn't cold :eek: I'd do that all day long. :D

If I remember right the water was warmer than the air that day.
