That's awesome!!! My father first took me to the river around this time. I was around 10-12 yrs old.

Thank you for posting that video. Brings back great memories of growing up going to Parker during the 60's. Got to ski for the first time behind a boat at Big Bend, on my 5th birthday. Flash forward to '88, taught my daughter to ski at Parker. She took off from Big Bend. What a thrill to be able to have my daughter get to learn how to ski in the exact same place I did, 30 years before. Just can't buy great memories like that.

Man, that is an awesome story. I actually grew up going to Lake Mohave with my dad after he moved to Fort Mohave. I will still cruise the lake and reminisce on the times I had there back then.

Can only imagine what it was like to be a river rat back then. I'm guessing your abs and a lot of other parts of your body got a good workout on a regular basis LOL

Best times for sure. Always spent my birthday in Parker as a kid. What more could you ask for. Get up early, have Dad and Grandpa take you out waterskiing. Such a blast back then.
