Day 3 or is it Day 5 ?

....I can't even remember. Days of the weeks are getting blurry. I guess that's the clear sign of "decompressing".

I have been hanging out with V these past few days. It's been a strange but extremely enjoyable experience to have her around these parts of the world. What are the odds that V's aunt works in the same city I grew up in ? In my world the odds are small, probably as small as having an ex colleague (and now friend) with in-laws that know my parents.

I got to witness an extremely cool and novel way of using a surf board and a boat. We've all heard of water-skiing and now wakeboarding. Well, get your hands together for the new and improved "surfing- the- wake- of- a- boat-with-no-hands" experience.... never been seen before!

So how does it work?

First you need a powerful boat, a surf board, a rope and an able body (preferably tanned).

Add a fair bit of agility, balance and dexterity and you might manage to stand up on the board while being pulled by the roaring boat.

Slowly pull yourself close to the back of the boat and once you hit the wake, let go of the rope.

There you have it - you're surfing the wake of the boat!

I thought I would add the one picture I managed to take where our experienced specimen is about to crash into the water (it's only fair - let us remember that we are after all human!).
