    Hi everyone.

    These pictures are relevant to absolutely nothing. Just another summer with the Dyne - and proof that my dad still slaloms at 73 years old. He has been a waterskier since he was 12.

    Happy Thanksgiving to all of my Hydrodyners friends.

    Very cool,

    He looks like he really enjoys the Life Vest, it looks to be vintage. :)

    My step father is still out there also and he will be 65 this year. It is cool to see people still with the sport. Slalom seems to be wasting away much like snow skis in California. Its too bad since there is nothing like a cut that throws a 30ft tall wall of water.

    That's awesome Mark. I hope I'm still skiing at 73. Daniel, to make it truly vintage, he would need a ski belt. ;)

    Too funny...

    He could not find his normal life vest that day and had to pull this from the dust bin... He was p***ed! Blames his gandchildren - which is fair. They constantly wear life vests up to the house and then leave them up there instead of down in the shed at the beach. Makes grandpa pretty mad....

    We still had some life belts until recently.... Nobody used them of course.

    Those were the days.....

    Ah, Summer shots when it's below freezing here, and what do you mean Happy Thanksgiving, that was October 11th ;-)
