daily grind ..the late late show

PHREERIDER - 24-6-2010 at 09:16 AM

with the late afternoon hi tides and crowds the water scene has got a lot of time , but last night, rather this morning@1am, with clear skies/moon and breeze took a 2 hour session on the ATB/charger15.

first dark session in a while, really nice, total solitude, side on from the sw .

with tube time on the water dominating the rides, nice to fill and zip and go.

last few water sessions with the charger have been challenging , the last 3 out 4 water sessions have ended with sudden collapse(clams shut). all with relaunch and go but creep factor is certainly deterring use. esp with super long hauls on the water. i have few more tries left in me . i don't know what's going on there. i really want these rig to serve me on the water . i'll do post after the weekend after a few more tries to sort it out.

anyway the land session was totally surreal and flawless will probably do another tonight .

and met up with Tibi on holiday here , very nice guy. You guys @ WW may have met him.

The moonlight flying on a warm summer night has to be the bomb.

Thats the best time to be out on the lake up this way and I don't get it. Everybody leaves at dusk. But better for me.

I may end up with a pumper also. Learn it, I might be able to launch it from the boat in deep water by drift launching.

The Arcs would be cumbersome to inflate on the boat. The launch areas are still underwater.

Maybe I'll pick up a small cheep one and take it out for practice one day.
