As I declared contentedly to my nephews this morning, summer has now officially begun. *Unofficially* officially. I know, I know, June 20th was the summer solstice, et cetera et cetera… But the 1st ski and surf? THAT feels like summer.
A first slalom session would have been good enough. Especially since I only skied once last summer. But both rolled into one — first waterski followed by first wakesurf — now that’s an especially terrific treat. It’s up there with first garden ripened tomatoes, first skinny dip, first bonfire,…
But wait, as late night commercials promise, there’s more. In addition to being the 1st ski and surf of the 2024 season, it was also our first time pulling with a new towboat.
That’s right, we traded the old Nautique on a new, slightly smaller, and significantly more versatile towboat that proved this morning its merits as both slalom ski boat and surf boat. Totally impressed!
