First Lesson - Totally new type of ride

Scorched_Ice7

Well tomorrow me and my friend are each getting a 20 min lesson. (Not much but they give them free every Wed) . Anyways, normally I just get pulled behind the Lowe with an Outboard and the rope hooked to the back. Now for most times out it takes me a couple good runs before I get comfortable and actually start riding. Now the boat is a SAN with a tower and I know it will be awesome but I think it would take me more than 20 min just to get used to the boat. Im really good with my heelside w2ws (Ive been grabbing most of them fairly solid) and progressing with my ts, I figured Id have the coach look at those and perfect qweak them and then help me land a 360 that Ive been trying hard to do for over a month. Just to get pulled for 20 min for free is good enough for me but I want to get some pointers. If Im trying to adjust to the boat the whole time how can I learn I guess you could say?

You ought to pick it up fine. Just tell them that it may take you a bit to get adjusted, though you will learn some things new surely.

Are you going to the Gordy Bubolz thing at Fort Freemont?
You if it is you should really look into the one or five day camp next summer. I just got back from it and it was great. I started out a 8 am barley getting air off the wakes and by the end of the day 4pm I was going Wake to Wake TS. I could also grab my HS jumps.

Scorched_Ice7, i had the same thing i went to ride at a place for a while and i didn't know what boat i was riding behind untill i'd gotten there. it turned out to be a SANTE 210. granted it's not as big of a change as it will be for you.

just don't even think about it and you'll do fine, do a one wake jump then go for two.

Ya im going to FortFremont! I thought about the camp but It getting kinda late already. Wish I would have found out about that place sooner. I didnt know about it til the Aug Competion that I went to. Man it was awful that day, everyone was in sweatshirt hoodies, and jeans. The weather was in the 50s or 60s with a rainy drizzle and wind.

Tomorrow is suppose to be nice. Around the upper 70s or so, it might rain but hopefully it wont.

I know the lesson will be a fun time. Very Happy
