First time out wakesurfing videos with my buddies
Me and some friends hit the lake tonight for the first time without kids in the boat to try and get some surfing in. Mind you, I skied and wakeboarded growing up, so I'm a somewhat comfortable novice on the surfboard as this is my 5th time surfing, but two of my buddies who are beginners at best gave it a go and each tossed the rope in the boat on their second try. My buddy Dave hasn't been behind a boat in 20 years and caught on quickly and my friend Brad has never skied or been on a wakeboard in his life so we were pumped to see them both up and be able to go rope free their first time on the water. Was pretty impressive to say the least.
 If you would like to see the videos, I'm the first video posted riding starboard (my apologies as most of this clip is of me riding an inside turn but it's all good), with my friends Dave and Brad 2nd and 3rd rolling the port side. They are both dying to get back out on the water after tonight's session. I couldn't be more happy with the wave our 45 put out both port and starboard, it truly was amazing to see the boat at work. I need to focus next time out on cutting harder outside and getting more comfortable driving up the wave. Enjoy if you'd like:  https://vimeo.com/44016603 https://vimeo.com/44016604 https://vimeo.com/44016605

Port setup: Port tank full Enzo sac full KGB 75% full Attitude Plate 55% Starboard surf tab 100% down 2 guys on rear port seating Starboard setup: Reverse everything above except one guy sitting center rear vs all 3 of us on starboard seating Need to experiment more with KGB weight and attitude adjustment plate to see if anything changes but my guess is the change will be minimal. A couple additional bodies next time out will be welcome additions for weight up front.

Heelgrad,
Great videos. The fact that beginners can truly surf their first time out is what makes the sport great. Nothing beats being out with friends and seeing them pick up a new sport on their first try. Props to you guys (and how could I not support a fellow 45 owner). If you are ever interested in moving into a custom board from your Inland Surfer, check out our site. Our first board was the Inland Blue Lake. We were very happy, but decided to start building US-made wakesurfers that can be customized in shape, color, fin selection, traction pad, etc. I think it is safe to say that once you get bit by the surfin' bug, you start to look for something personalized and unique. We at Day1 would like to believe that we can satisfy that desire. Keep on surfing, the vids are highly motivational! BMcD '06 8.1L X-45 www.LiveDay1.com

Always a rush to get newbies or born again newbies up behind the boat! I have friends and family who can't remember what they had for dinner last night, but they always remember the first time they got up on skis, or a board, or even (for god sake) tubed.
Great Videos!
