Absolutely thanks to you!! Have you ever posted for www.bayshots.com ???

Is this Darrell from Bay Shots or did I just M.A.A.O.M.S. ?

From my experiance these are not people jumping wakes for photo op's, waves are a mix from the many boats and you will find yourself in a slalad bowl of waves/wakes.

At this point you will be doing everything you can to keep the boat in line. Crossing a wake, hoping for a pleaseing photo could likley endanger those around you.

Best just enjoy yourself, make some new friends and be safe.

Different Darrell. But no problem with that. It's all good.


Darrell.

Yep, we were just running across the bay with a helicopter following. When it pulled in beside us the captain pushed the boat from a 50mph cruise to "whatever we can get out of her!!". A videographer and photographer were hanging out the chopper for 3-4 miles to get that pic. (a WHOLE lot of them the boat is cutting the waves fine or compressed with the bow deep into a wave)
DO NOT TRY to stage a jump behind another boat.....you"ll come too close to the other boat and won't be paying enough attention to everything else going on around you.

here are a couple more from the same day

Looks like a bunch of drunks to me ......sorry I missed it ...:drink:

Whoops! Sorry -

OK, now I understand
 

We participated in our first poker run yesterday. What a freakin' blast! When I started this thread i was conceptualizing a photo boat with folks jumping off the wake for pics. It wasn't a huge poker run, only about 30 boats but the idea that things could be organized so you would know where the photo boat was was completely dismissed.

That being said there were numerous times where the Rage was flying. Haven't seen any pics yet but they wouldn't have been hard to get. Note to self: even the stuff you thought was put away well enough to not blow out or tip over, check that again.

Like many things one must experience this to appreciate it. And it's not bad that we pulled three queens and won the thing! Looking forward to the next one.

See, I thought the idea was to keep the boat in the water? The flying is great but the landings are never good, not even the softer ones. Pics of air time are great though but to try to do it on purpose just for a photo op? Sooner or later the opportunity presents itself and you'll get the pic, not sure I want to pound on my boat and myself just to get it?

That was a great weekend !!!!!!!
