This weekend we met up with some new friends from Chicago to spend the afternoon on the Lake Minocqua area on their boat. Yes, the are FIB's, but we'll let that slide as we got to spend the day on the lake! It was a beautiful day, though a bit windy. Kevin did some wake boarding & water skiing; he tried to do the 1 foot skiing but needs more practice with that I think.
The biggest thing people were doing was Lake Surfing. What they do is use a wake board, sorta a short surf board....you get up on it behind the boat with a short rope and find the right spot riding the wake behind the boat. At some point you can let go of the rope & then just surf your way around the lake behind the boat. It was pretty intersting to watch & got a lot of gawkers wondering how we were doing it.
I, of course, did not go in the water. I saw no point to it - I was warm & perfectly happy where I was. Maybe next time...
Halfway through the day we swapped boats with another friend - it was a demo boat from one of the dealers. An X-15 Mastercraft. Boy it was cool! We had 11+ folks on board and it was a blast.
All in all, a fun day. Hopefully will get to go out again sometime this summer!

Sounds like fun. I should probably go outside more.
Ok, so I am shamelessly spamming your blog with the address to my new blog.
