Wake Surf’s Up!

August 31st, 2009

On Saturday I went over to my awesome Aunt and Uncle’s house on Lake Sammamish in Washington. This lake is so stinking pretty and superior to other lakes in that there are no marinas or gas stations on it.  It’s a 73 degrees warm, clear and calm beautiful lake.

They took me wake surfing on their new boat and it was all kinds of fun!  You surf in the constant wake the boat provides.  You get up with a rope and then, as soon as you find the sweet spot on the wave, you toss the rope back into the boat.

It appears this new sport has taken off as there was an annual competition going on somewhere on the lake while we were having our fun.  Here’s a video of the experience.  First my Aunt Cathy goes, then me, then my Uncle Mike. 

P.S. That dog is less than 2 lbs!

P.P.S. Check out how my Uncle horse shoes the rope handle on the knob at 4:24
