I'm watching Jones and Sauvies for a possible skim session, can't make it east today. The tide will be rising in the afternoon.

not skims, wake skates. They had a monster wake skate in there yesterday still in the plastic wrapper. It looked pretty cool as it was super fat, much fatter than normal.

Sorry for the hijack but...
2nd wind had the LF Anthem skate when I was there.
http://www.wakeworld.com/skates/getboard10.asp?ProductID=4726

Pretty interesting because it seems to have less rocker than most skates.
I got to try out an older model anthem and it was pretty fun.
Wasn't too powered, but I was able to stay upwind on it. (the current definitely helped)
The thing looks pretty beefy, but once you get it on the water its fine.
The extra size helps get creative with your foot position for going upwind, and you hardly notice the weight when going for tricks.
Not bad for $139

Yeah, that's the Anthem. Pure rockered out, ollie machine wakeskate. Gene's Varial was busy taking 'test' runs with me. We like to personally check all the new product before it goes out...ya know, quality assurance and stuff. Thumb's Up

Kidding kidding... it's still in the plastic. Gene let me know if you're coming out
