There are some new videos and pictures from Labor Day weekend.  We got out Saturday evening a bit, then Jack had his first taste of calm/glass water on Sunday morning early (no video).  We went out again Sunday late morning with Darby and Brent (and Mia).  Some good runs and video taken.  Mia was the star at the end of the day riding with Brent on the tube to wrap it up.

Jack and I went back out on David's boat so Jack could have some time with bigger wake.  He was very aggressively going for wake to wake jumps and landed one cleanly (video) followed by another attempt where he landed it then tipped his board down on the downward outside slope of the wake and caught the edge which sent his body over the top for a semi-face plant.  That was the end of the day for us.  Jack is alright.

I've got Darby and Brent lined up for Sunday on the water, should be fun.  Not sure what they will ride, perhaps some skis, perhaps some foil, we'll see.

Last weekend's riding was not great.  Jack rode the wakeboard a bit but the wind was blowing a little bit and boat traffic was up for some reason.  He didn't really have a good time, was worried about the chop.

I rode the foil some, struggled with jumps.  Its been the story of the summer I guess.  This week, via email, I've secured some lessons from a foiler in Arizona on Lake Havasu.  He goes by the handle of Big Jay on foilforum.com .  Jay (real name Justin) helped me a lot a year ago when I was struggling to get up and ride consistently.  So I went back to him, pleaded with him to watch a short video of bad jumps I made and offer feedback.  I plan on using some of his feedback and advice this weekend.  Time to put up...
