My buddy hosed me with 50 gallons when he edged into my boat on his wakeboard.

I once dated a girl in High School and her Father told me I would never amount to anything. He was right!

Safely crossing his wake by slowing down and passing it at a 45 degree angle

And surfing a wave.. weight well forward to keep the bow down...

Poor quality screenshot from a cheap actioncam, sorry.
That's Paul being thrown to the lions by F-Rib Stew, our first ever run in a 375 folding rib.

Look how my Honwave was struggling to stay up on the plane, far too much weight in the front!
That guys, gives you an idea of the overnight camp equipment required/carried for the "WWA"
Although if I'd removed my wings from the outboard, or shifted some weight about she'd have got the bow up a bit more and reduced the drag.

But, but, that doesn't make for great Youtube crash videos!
Wrote a note said, 'back in a minute'. Bought a boat and I sailed off in it.

That does look like the return lol, I can see I had pauls tent onboard too.. :drive
But firewood and food free with a little less fuel onboard too.
Unfortunately I didn't visit the bare in the woods, otherwise I may have shed a few more pounds.. still need to christen that shovel :lol:

Cowboys? I hear you say...
