Post up some classic (to you) river pictures.

Here's a few I'll start with.

1st one is my on my ulncles stand up. I was about 4 years old

2nd is the first boat I every drove and learned to water ski behind. This was my Grandparent's Tahiti jet boat. The picture was taken on Circle Beach.

3rd picture I really can't explain what's going on but it looks like we were having a pretty good time.

Looks like the good ole days:)
I had 3 different jet skis like that.
I now have 2 1995s 550sx's just for memories.
My 13 year old kid and his buddies enjoy them just like I did back then.

Yea they sure are fun! When I got my drivers lic and 1st pick-up truck, I'd drive out to the river with my stand up in the bed and run the piss out of my 550 with a few other friends that had them. Once I got a boat, I sold one and the other has been collecting dust in the garage. lol

My Uncle gave me the stand up in this pic when I was 15. It was stolen about 10 years ago and never recovered. :(

How far back you wanna go? This is 1966, Mead View Estates (by Temple Bar, Lake Mead) were being offered for sale. Included a river cruise up the Grand Canyon arm with lunch served up river. My Pops with the PBR in hand.

Big river 92. My buddy Dave Costello said I'd never make it (much less first try) doing a dock start on a surfboard behind a jet ski. He was wrong. :D

First time to Havasu was Spring Break 2000. Me and a couple buddies threw a tent and beer in the back of my truck and drove out not knowning where we'd stay or anything else. Found Crazy Horse and had a great time. Only three of us that year and fifteen the next year after everybody heard our stories. I haven't been there long enough to have old pictures. ;)
