Today on the way to the lake, getting fuel for my sj (my sj, blaster and ultra 250 x on trailer) a couple guys I know are fueling their super sweet big fast boat and ask me if I'm riding the 250x today. I reply, "No. I'm riding the little cute one. It's more fun." They look at me with totally blank expressions. I then say, "See you guys out there!" They are like OK..."
So later in the day as the wind is kicking up I usually hang around the launch and respectfully slut up some wakes. So here they come and I respectfully slut their wake and do one of the biggest inverted stabs of my life (tried to hide behind the bars and hang on going in, but my left hand came off on entry) floated back up and rode away. They came over and told me, "That was phuckin badd arse! Never saw anything like that! You went so high! etc..." I said thanks and thanks for the wake. Also said, "You just can't have that kind of fun on a couch." They totally agreed. It was cool to see that they picked up a ton of respect for standups. It was a good day. I'm happay.
