Had my annual trip back to the midbest and got only one day on the new ENVY's from LF!!! Confused Cool

First off, it was a balmy 80 degrees everyday with not a lick of wind. Occacionally we'd get a late thermal.... So after being skunked on Lake Michigan I tried the boat launch from my home-town lake...

gotta say the wind was maybe 6-10mph and I took the new 12m ENVY and my skim out off the back of the boat... I think I have the boat-launch down to a science now..(with some help from jackie of course) Cool

Got a super underpowered down-wind-er out of it..
All in all, turned some heads and had fun.. Very suprised with the low-end of the 12m ENVY!!! Reverse-relaunch was great too..!! Graphics are money! Can't wait to take it out in solid conditions as well as the rest of them!!

So, went back to the basics...had a week of solid wakeboarding, wake-surfing, and skiming....Gotta say, wake to wake on the skim is where it's at!
might have some more pics to follow...

thx Tekko at LF for hooking it up as usual!!! Twisted Evil

wakeboarding is for the birds....it's all strapless for me.... Wink nah...haha Cool

I'll get the one's off my sister's camera...but we were pretty busy holding High-Life's instead..

tell ya one thing..wake-ing is a whole different muscle set, I'm super sore....

does the state of Wisconsin require you to have a beer gut to be a legal resident?

Damn - your weekend in Wisco was way more fun than mine

spent 3 days trapped inside the convention center - only to escape for beer, steaks, cigars and mindbending hangover
