Do you or anybody pull these mats behind the boat, not like a tube but to get from point A to point B?  Or are all of you just blowing them up on site?  
I have one that I would like to take out when we go floating but it stays tied up to our dock for the kids to play on there.  My wife thinks it would be to much of a PIA to bring it with, but I think we could slow pull it behind the boat.

We don't pull it.  We blow up on site, typically mid-day for a couple hours, then deflate and pack it up for more surfing.  I do think you could slow pull it, with nobody on it of course.

Same here.  We have a high speed inflate/deflate pump, so no need to even try to pull it.

Ours is at the dock for swimming too, but I'll frequently pull it out to other parts of the lake.  We just toss the leading edge of it on the platform and snug it up to the stern to keep it from submarining.  We've drug it around for a booze cruise too with lawn chairs, but use the small fishing boat for that as you have to idle slow and make sure weight is a little rear-biased.

There is not a squirrel around that stands a chance at 25 yards!

Super proud of my 15 years old.  This is 353 days after ACL surgery.  Likely could have been sooner, but waited for the water to warm up a bit.  Last summer was a tough one for her and she is really looking forward to this summer (as am I!).

Water temp not stopping this guy.

My daughter started going to hunt camp two years ago, here she is blasting a squirrel out of a tree (wife won’t let me share the good pics)…

Great wind today. Landon decided to go race the river channel buoys.

We did Spring Break in Amelia Island a few weeks back.  Stayed at the Omni and would highly recommend for those looking for some place you can eat, drink, golf and play.

Love going back and seeing my sons progression and his growing love of wakesurfing

March 2021 to March 2023

First time going without the rope today. The expressions on her face says it all.  Pure joy!

 

[dshack]

First pull and my 4 year old popped right up! BTW this $40 amazon wetsuit works wonders for getting her comfortable in the low 60s water temps

Daughter has really enjoyed the EZ ski the last two seasons (about to turn 3). Will hopefully make the transition to trainer skis next year.

We have a power pump, inflate/deflate is fast.

Are you talking about the clouds or the fact she is almost a tween?

Definitely the latter!

Love, love, love to see jump PBs!  

[footndale]

New PB 56', wasn't pretty but she is not going to let go.  Not too bad for never practicing jump.
