Polar Bear Wakesurf Event Photos
So here are some great photos we took at the event, stay tuned for more video!
The 44' party barge was a HUGE hit, and is a must for this type of thing. We are loading up.
This was us getting ready to go. We had 2 tige's setup goofy, and frank's sanger setup regular. We would wakesurf for about an hour then come in, compare notes and move boards around. I think there was about 20 boards.
The conditions? Almost as good as the incredible Halloween Tige RZ2 demo. About 60 deg in and out of the water, sunny with calm to 5mph winds. We were in an area where the boats could go in 3 directions without disturbing each other, and we all had walkie talkies to comm.
Beautiful
So we don't have many pics of surfing, mostly video, but here is one of clay on the IS Red Woody from CMS.
After some surfing, Amy setup some snacks at the bar. Bre smiling as usual.
Back to surfing, here is RJ on the chili pepper. RJ really liked this board, light and fast.
Maddie on the lakewakes grom, light fun board and a great value.
Between runs we all discussed what we liked about various boards as you see clay and roger doing here.
The barge had a slide with a lake water pump on it, and I dared dennis to hit it. Clay went first.
Then dennis, these pics crack me up.
SlimJim was NOT to be outdone. I thought SlimJim was a funny nick name for a big guy. He really was slim, he was 6'6\
RJ will not be schooled by dennis.
Maddie suited up, just to do this.
Clay goes head first.
OK, I have to set this picture up. I was on the boat with frank and roger. Great guys, I enjoy their company. So frank puts on his life vest. He is nuts, no wetsuit. He surfed without one all day. So on goes the vest, and since he has lost a bit of weight, the front overlaps a bit. But the funny part is that his nipples perfectly pop out of each side. On top of that, it was COLD. Frank could of poked someone’s eyes out. I was laughing so hard. It almost looked like his vest was designed to be specially REVEALING. What a crack up. So frank posed for me and I snapped this with my iphone.

The Barge, you can see the slide on the back.
SlimJim (240lbs) riding the TWP 5.3 Bullet, or the Goofy board.

Clay from PROPS wakesurfers on the same IS Red Woody.
Now don't be alarmed, but sometimes in an event like this there is a certain amount of danger. Stuff happens and you have to be prepared for it. This is the only picture I can show you, the others are just too gruesome. This is just before the medivac chopper landed on top of the barge and got SlimJim to the urgent care he needed.
