Glassy glass (#2)

That's about how our usage went this year too, and almost the same situation in our house (except that neither of us were competitive waterskiers).  In fairness, though, we do go all over the lake for surf water, sometimes spending an hour getting there and back.  We ski right in front of the house, at idle it takes 2 minutes to get to our set-up point so almost all the hours on the LXi are from actually skiing.

LXi = 25

25 LSV = 100

house is on the right on this picture.... cause we need more pictures right now

Damn near the same situation as us.  We've put 20 hours on the RLXI and 60 on the VLX.  We don't have to run to get to surf water where we keep the VLX.  It stays on a lake that's only 8 miles from our house where we keep the RLXi.  That's an idle to warm up, set up, then all skiing.

Glass on a summer Saturday afternoon in the PNW at the local 3 lane launch.

We were going to get some skiing in this morning, but while there was probably glass like that, there is also lots of smoke just like that too. We’re trying to stay inside as much as we can until the smoke clears.

Man, those Antifa dumpster fires in Portland are getting out of hand...

Way worse than Shasta. It's "closed down" by the USDA until Tuesday. Though some marina(s) choose to sign a waiver and open up, mine did't... Not sure I 'd want to be out there anyway, going to need my lungs later on. Just hope and pray the lake pirates leave my boat alone as I'm not even allowed to go on the dock.

I skied today and the smoke was hideous.  But I was the only boat out and there wasn't a ripple on the water that I didn't make or even a puff of wind.  I've often found biohazards on the lake make for the best ski days if you've got the immune system for it.

We had brutal fires/smoke a couple years back - glassy glass.  It does not bother me.   But a neighbour was training for Ironman and it messed up his lungs.

All Ironman training inside till the smoke goes away.... it will mess you up! :-/  Quite sad really because my wife and I had some fun long rides/runs planned for the weekend... but nope :-/

I skied both days this weekend and I'm still choking on the soot.  But this is what it looked like all day both days and it was awesome:

Worse or the same up here as well.  Middle of the day - not a boat on the lake.  Crazy.

Beauty of a boat there, Clark!

Yesterday morning.  CA smoke has made it to Michigan.

First morning of a week at my ski-buddy’s home on a private lake. He’s got a MC, but you can’t be picky in these situations 😁🤷‍♂️

Leaving before sunrise, so no final set for me but glassy for my ski buddys. It was a great week!!

Low ceiling with 55 air and 55 water.  This time of year is great.  Almost all the boats are pulled, and no one is fishing.

Looks great!  How do you like the Prostar wakes compared to the RLXi?

That's a tricky question, as I really enjoy skiing behind my boat.  I don't really notice a difference behind the Prostar, but I'm not picky.  We have been learning to ski the course all summer, so running 15 off at just 30 mph.

Been a while since I had this. Amazing to me because our local lake is closed, probably for the season. This is the next closest lake to me and it’s pretty small. 90 air, 68 water and only one other wake boat on the water but they dropped anchor and floated. We had the lake to ourselves.

Brr! It's almost June and the water is still that cold? Crazy considering the early ice out.

It’s been a lousy spring. Water had risen to mid 60’s but we’ve had a cold and windy snap where temps got down to mid 30’s at night and high 40’s/low 50’s for several days. It’ll be back to 60’s by end of this week.
