Forrest and Gene have been killing it this year with that stuff. We are all lucky they are so on top of it!!

You're all welcome. I do it cause it's fun. I hope we can get the slider out there now for everyone to enjoy once again. For the rest of you who haven't hit it yet, would you be interested in a slider 101 clinic? It wouldn't be free but all the proceeds go back to building more sliders...

I saw those guys go out a couple of times(for at least a few hours) to try and get that thing with no luck. But with strong determination, they got that thing in to the beach!

I think it's absolutley AWSOME the effort that these guys put in for everyone to have a great time. Way to go and way to be!! Thumb's Up

Next time you see me at the beach, I'll have a cold one waitin for ya!! Wave

Forrest a slider 101 class would be great. Nak and I are in. Come on Nak we said we would hit that by the end of the summer. Laughing

No worries guys. Glad we were able to save it.

HUGE thanks to Brad for driving the boat! That was no easy task and took way longer than we thought.

You can go kiting any day. How often can you watch a solid metal slider pop out of the water like a breaching whale and start surfing behind the boat???

Yea, big thanks to Gene for helping me instead of kiting on one of his one two free days of the week.

Thanks for your hard work. I will donate to the project, but that never replaces hard work and taking time AWAY from kiting.
