Yea, Lloyd hit it a little, but I had to run back to the house to get the BBQ going. Here's some pix from today. Wind was freaking out today.

They were working so hard on getting the thing deployed I am not sure they got a chance to hit it on the first day. I packed up before they left though.

Sorry no new pics from today (Sunday) either... the passing showers didn't look D300 friendly Very Happy

Kind of being pulled off the box on this one, wrong angle to the wind.

Hahah...nice photos!! Forrest pressing that thing...it's pretty fun to get all over that box...

Super friendly....!!!, so all who want to try it out and see what it feels like on water should hit it up!!

And, maybe toss a little cash-o-la towards Forrest, llyod and joby for hooking it up and probably more sliders in the near future as well..

Today was a little on the crazy side, but was a good time for sure.!!

next weekend couldn't come soon enough...

I'm stoked everyone had fun so far. We have big plans this summer if the funds allow it. You can donate by going to the following page:

http://www.sliderproject.com/donate.html

We're going to get some stickers and tee shirts printed up soon and I'll make sure everyone who donates gets a sticker. If you donate $50 or more, I'll make sure you get a tee shirt too.

We're planning our Slider 101 clinic as well. Though there are lots of details to discuss about this one.

Thanks for all the support, and start keeping a screw driver with you to remove those fins!

Fun times for sure. Super friendly slider to get started. Thanks for the pics Phil. I might try to snag some of those from you if that's cool. Just lemme know how.

Forrest, looks like you can transfer from Paypal for free even with a Premium account. Just receiving money is where you get scammed. Lemme know if you'd prefer a check, but otherwise I'll shoot some $ your way this evening.

Anyone at all interested in sliders, kickers, etc. should try it out 'cause it's a perfect place to get started, and help the cause if you can even with a small donation. It's only gonna get better from here!

PS I was on the water when the rainbow appeared right downwind of me. It was the most vivid and bright rainbow I've ever seen. Wish I'd been powered enough to jump over it and get Kraemer's gold Smile

Speaking of rainbows... let's get one of those bad boys out on the water!

BTW, For those of you wondering, a little bit of brown streak is all that was done to my board after sliding it. No scratches or damage.
