Im lost without the PW thread!!!!

that water is SECKSY too! You need to move back on the board a bit and don't shift so much weight forward. Just a little bit and sorta rock if that makes sense. Shift forward, then even your weight, shift forward then even your weight and you'll be scooting up that wake like a wormy dog!

Your wife's foot placement is really bad although that could be because she's on her way down and they slipped...

I gotta work on my rear hand - my positioning of it looks awfully effeminate in these pics LOL

I can get you a job as a go-go dancer if you keep your hand like that

So fiver.. didja go to the boat?
Lets see pics...

I didn't take it out. Wife had a wine tasting concert thingy to go to on Saturday night and by time we got out on the water yesterday I didn't want to pull the HB out. It was 2pm and I just wanted to wakeboard. My wife was upset though - she wanted to haul it up the slough. Last thing I want is to be rushed my first trip out.
I'll pull it out Friday afternoon when I get home and I'll be staying out all weekend coming.

Oh - I think I finally came up with a name for her that my wife will accept:

"UPSTREAM"

Try moving you front foot more towards the toe side of the board.

Wake looks good, whats yur speed?

Depends on the pics - at first my wife running it anywhere from 10-13

Once she started using the speedset, I think it was around 11-11.5.

And I'll try to move the front foot toward the toe side.

Back on the board a bit. Gotcha. And I know that I need to learn a little more gradual weight shift to keep from nose diving.

And, yes, her foot positioning was that bad. But she has never watched anyone surf (except for my iffy attempts before her, but she was driving). So, she has a lot to learn - even more than me

Helpful suggestions will be much appreciated. I need to take some video next time. I'm sure my weight distribution on the board is not ideal. Oh well - something to work on through the summer.

First suggestion is tell you wife to let go of the rope when your falling Just have fun don't be too eager to let go of the rope you will know when the time is right, for me foot position was everything.

In one pic, i thought you were just wakeskating with a real short rope

I was going to mention that part about letting go also

Thanks. I've got a lot to learn

So what lake is that? That water is just like Tahoe! So awesome!

[dingleberry]

The RZ4 could take a ton more weight. I think the rub rail was still about 12" above the water at rest. I'm not kidding about some day trying to use a 2nd Enzo sac placed on the seats. Although, at that weight, the stock 537 prop will be cavitating like a beotch.

A few pics of my wife. She couldn't stay up very long at all, but I think she found out that she liked it and wants to keep trying

Its her slalom form. Its hard to lean forward when you are programed to lean back on the rope when skiing. Same problem my son has, hes too much on his heels.

LOL.. how long did it take to get her suit outa her crack?

I love all of the CO. river lakes, so clear. I especially like Mohave. We snorkle all day long when we are there. (when we arent riding)
