Nathan is a wakeboarder

Nathan progressed from wakeboarding on the boom to riding behind the boat today. Woooo! He is also slalom skiing on the boom. It'll probably be a while before we try putting him on a rope. He gets frustrated and I'm sure the transition to a rope will be a little harder than it has been with the wakeboard.

Maddie is still a little timid. She's wakeboarding on the boom but still struggling to get up and isn't very comfortable. She is still boycotting skis.

Maddie Shreddin' the Gnar

Maddie got a new wakeboard yesterday and had to try it out today. Both her and Nathan did really good and are popping right up while skiing on the boom. Maddie did catch a toe side edge once and was ready to get back in the boat but I got her to ride the kneeboard to keep her in the water. Nathan is now skiing on combo's behind the boat and we hope to start working with him on a slalom off the boom soon. We haven't been able to get Maddie on the skis much... she's a little timid.

Here is some video from today... Youtube stripped the audio out. If you want to here some Jimmy Buffet with the video you can download the original video here http://dummitt.net/Skiing%2006-13-09.wmv
