About 30 years ago Right about now,The Modern day Wakeboard was Born

About 30 years ago right about Now up at Lake Arrowhead ,I went skurfing,with my Bro Darryl McClaskey ,Big thick plastic board.Darryl tells me this is hard to get up on,Well got up first try and ripped it up, Darryl didn't know I Surf so good,,,I told him this board was kinda lame and I could Make a Way Better board than this...Next day grabbed a couple blanks and Started shaping the Modern Day Wake board.We started out with a 3/4 inch thick board ,instead of a 2 1/2inch thick plastic thing,,,I saw the Wake as a long Ass Wave with no one cutting me off.Since I weighed 240 and rode a 6'6'' surfboard ,this was my way to ride a 54" board since I didn't have to catch a wave,the boat pulled you...So i could Ride a potato chip board,I was in Heaven,We prodo~ typed about 10 boards figure out what work and what didn't work,,,2 months later We Had what is know as the Modern Day Wakeboard.Thats are story and we're sticking by it...
