Last weekend i went down to the lake for probably the last time this season because we couldn't go the next weekend or two, and by that time the cold virginia waters would be to cold for riding. I was really looking forward to it because last time I'd gotten that close to clearing the wake. So we got there and set out to go ride in my dads 1986 MC prostar 190(real top of the line) with no tower and a single fatsack. I rode good(for me at least), but i still wasn't clearing that wake. we rode for a few hours then came back in and it was looking like i wasn't going to reach my season goal after all. as we were laying the gear out on the dock to dry, my uncles friend pulls up in a brand new tricked out wakesetter vlx. I mean what are the chances? it had everything. full ballast, power wedge, perfect pass, a huge stereo. the funny part was that no one in the guys family even wakeboarded. anyways he asked us if we wanted a pull so of course we said yes. So we set out, none of us having even sat in a wakeboat before. When it was my turn to ride, I geared up on the platform that seemed like the size rhode island to me. when i got up, the wake was super collosal. I was riding at 65 feet at 21 mph with full ballast and full power wedge( I know we probably shoulda been goin faster, but i didn't mind), and the wake was sick. i cut in to the wake just like i do behind the MC, and what do you know, i go flying across both wakes. i landed and i was like "holy crap i just cleared the wake!" anyways thats my story sorry its so long.
