NICE Oakie!!!

I was gonna e-mail you today and ask if you had seen it yet.

Thought it was getting a bit long for that thing to show up. Looks like it made it alright.

Yup, thanks! I'm looking forward to the difference from the Witness. I'm starting to really get anxious for the water to warm up.

were you really riding that board with the domains that close together?

The board on top with the Domains is the board for my kids. I just put the bindings on the board real close together for the moment until we're ready to ride. I need to fit the boys on the board and decide where we're going to place the bindings. I'm sure they will be placed wider.

I bet they could spin really fast with their feet that close together Shocked

I'm actually trying to decide where we're going to set the bindings. This board is going to be shared between my two boys (9 and 7), and they're a bit different in size. I may have to compromise and go as wide as possible to fit the little guy and let the older one just do the best he can. I'm sure it'll be close enough. They aren't THAT much different in size and stance.

I'd imagine if you just go with shoulder width for the oldest then the little one will just be gangster, I was a little bro myself and I was definitely more gangster

Yeah, either that or I might try to split the difference a little bit. I can't wait to see how they both do with the new board. They were using the Hydroslide 180 (top right) last year. A better board with much better bindings should make a big difference.

Lethal_TX, thanks. It turned out pretty good with the boards and the racks and the signs.

Medina, thanks. The only ones we've ridden are the Witness (Bottom Left) and the 180 (Top right). The Nemesis (Top left) and Lyman (Bottom right) are new, along with the bindings on the Witness. My boys, my wife and myself are all anxious to try our new set ups Mr. Green

Dude! Sick! Oakie you have good taste! In boats...SunSport... Boards...Liquid Force. I ride the 07 Watson with 07 Watson OT's. I can't find a better board or binding company. imho. I'm pretty sure you will LOVE those Vantages. And the Lyman is SICK just a little faster than I am used to.

Wait a minute...what's that in the top right corner??? Is that a kneeboard I see??? Uh oh! Laughing

Yup, that's a kneeboard. We started with that before we got into wakeboarding and my little guy still rides it. Once he is fully on the wakeboard, we'll get rid of it and that rack will be ready for a surfboard. Mr. Green
