What happened to this place?

Ha, funny to see a lot of the same names. I haven't popped in years. I'm 44 now, I hung up the wakeboard a few years ago as my knees and back are done with it. I'm still wake surfing 2-4 days a week during the warm months of the short UT seasons. No kids, my wife is my dedicated driver and shreds too. It's pretty damn hard to round up a crew these days. Most of the times it's just 3-4 people max on the boat.

I pop into WW here and there, tigeowners.com, but mainly FB groups these day.

Gen x-ers getting old and millennials are too poor to wakeboard. Gen z are all playing fortnight.

Joe... I was just thinking about you the other day. I think I even stalked you on facebook a little just to see what you were doing these days!

Hope all is well.

I was never much of a poster here or the other place- but I used to pop in on a regular basis to read all the discussions.

Seems a lot of people on this site and the other that rode in my day are done with the sport.
Me, still going at it on a regular basis.
A friend of mine had a young kid that I taught to ride, and the kid is in college and still spends the summers out on the boat pushing me to stay sharp.

I understand people get busy- but maybe try to do something for yourself and get back out there for a summer next year.
WHo knows, you may fall back in love with it.
