It's like we think we're 18 again...

So, now that we had this fun new boat, we of course had to try it out the first weekend we had it.  Win went online, ordered a wake surf board and we headed out the following weekend.  Chris and Em met us at mom's and we loaded up the boat.  It's a little bit of a process to wake surf.  The boat has these things called "fat sacs" that you use a pump to fill up with water from the lake.  The sacs then weigh the boat down creating this big wake for you to surf on.

Chris and Win were up first.  They'd spent all week watching youtube videos and kept telling us all how easy it was.  "Let the boat do the work", "tie the rope here", "put your feet there".  Well after a couple hours of them trying and failing, I was up.  (This is where the story gets good).  I try once, and fall instantly.  Tell them they are doing it wrong, the rope goes in a different location, and they need to plant their feet differently.  Second time- I'm up and surfing!  Jen- 1, Guys- 0 :)

Of course, then both guys were itching to try it again, and both were able to get up pretty easily.  We spent the rest of the day out surfing, and by that night could barely lift our arms over our heads.  It didn't bother us, though, we went out again the following day!  We are loving it and can't wait for next summer!
