The boat was loaded with people drinking cool-aid I think. Any way they kept waving us over to jump their wake. MY ski has the camera and the other guy wanted me to take a few shots of him jumping without his training wheels. He just took them off. Funny story I threatened to get him some training wheels after he went flying over his handlebars crossing the flats. I think he hit a crab trap or something since there was plenty of water. Although I never did find anything in the area.

zactly haa I have plenty of pictures of the local wild life on a ski but they are certainly not wearing a fur coat or a bathing suit for that matter. So my mother said I can't post them here.

The FWC around here would pull that bear onto their boat and issue a ticket for no PFD.

You have to like the heat to live here in Alaska. They pull you over "REALLY" they wave at me, if you noticed the big boat pulling up to us, that is a local dinner cruise boat, the boat they had prior to that was a paddle wheel boat called the starlight princess , if you want to jump waves big paddle wheel boats are challenging but fun.
They would drive past me , to do that they had to go under a small drawbridge . The captain would give me the thumbs up and then tell people on the intercom to go watch the show. Then he gave it all the power it had, making some huge waves. I would drive by their windows waving at them while I drove with my feet and then go back and jump the waves on my back.
Paddle wheel waves rotate and if you do it wrong you get rolled over in a second, so you have to cut through between the waves then make the jump at the end of it. You had to be sure to land outside of the waves, since the waves are created by the paddles they run away from the boat behind it not out to the side like a conventional boat, People would come out on to the rear deck and take pictures of the jumps. Sadly they replaced that boat with the one in the video, it makes crappy wakes, so we have to go out in the shipping lane and jump the wakes of the ships going in and out of Tampa bay under the skyway bridge. NOW those are some WAVES!
