I Ride My First Pro Model from The Nineteen Hundreds! Behind a 1997 Sport Nautique!

Рет қаралды 130,122

Күн бұрын

Nautique Regattas are great events that allow Nautique owners to get together, check out boats from past and present, and have team athletes hop onto their boats for some fun. I jumped at the chance to ride with the Lotz family when they offered me to not only ride behind their 97' Sport Nautique, but also threw in the opportunity to ride their 1997 Hyperlite Fluid wakeboard which happens to be my first pro model. Parker Arizona is in the middle of the desert but is this amazing oasis for watersports enthusiasts, golfers and a bunch more. I also take you through a quick tour of one of the most unique neighborhoods in the states. Enjoy your ride!

That was so cool to see. Man you are a good teacher! I was learning from what you told the kid. Speaking of, I'm 34yrs old now. I loved watching you ride when I was a kid growing up. Glad to see you're still at it. I'm a tall guy, wakeboarding never worked out really well for me. I slalom ski now, but put on a board to have a rip last season and it brought back some good memories. You're a cool dude, I'm happy you're still riding and healthy man. I'm over here with a knee surgery and Rogaine trying to make excuses when my childhood hero is still killing it. Keep up the smiles and good energy, you're still an excellent role model for kids and adults now. Work hard and positive vibes.🤙🏼

Nostalgic for sure. My brother and I were at wakestock when it was hosted at Deerhurst resort Muskoka in 1997 when we bought a Hyperlite "twin tip". We used that board for over a decade.

Yes! Wakestock up in Muskoka! You probably bought those boards from Paul and Murray Frasier. Canadian Hyperlite distributors and have been in the sport since the beginning.

@speedball10169 4 жыл бұрын

Wakestock was one of the craziest stops on the tour. I have a poster from the Pride of Muskoka Open that was part when Byerly was there. It was part of the Nautique's X-Cup by the Ontario Wakeboard Association. Bruzer was a big sponsor along with Mike's Hard and a few others. Dave Tsuyuki was a big shot in the Muskoka region at the time.

No way! This takes me back! Crazy story- when I first started riding I couldn’t afford a board so I bought fiber glass, resin, inserts, expanding foam, and plexiglass for fins and made my own fake 1997 Hyperlite! It did the job, but didn’t quite ride like the real deal 😂. boards have come a long way!

I've had 3 boards over the last 23 years other than the first skurfer or something like that we started on. That rainbow '97 Murray was my 1st real board - I think with moon boots. That waffle pattern on the top of your feet after riding brings back memories. Board #2 was the white 2006 Murray, and #3 is a 2019 Murray I rode twice this year before the weather cooled off. So, about 10 years of riding each, not a bad investment in fun. I put my 12 year old daughter on the '97 the last time out 'cause she'd outgrown her board kind of suddenly. I didn't think about it being twice as old as she is.

@Shaun.Murray 4 жыл бұрын

That's amazing nunaya! Moon boots! On my office wall I've hung my 97, 10 year w the X, 20 year w the bug and my 25th anniversary. Pretty crazy honestly but thankful for it all! That's awesome you put your daughter on the 97.

I still have my first Liquid Force board from the late 90's... Never ride it though. It has the old Wiley bindings on it that will rip the hair right off your feet, even when wet. The new bindings are soooo much better, I can't even explain. Flip flops compared to boots is a good comparison. Before that we had a Skurfer, and before that we had a wooden board with rubber on top that was tied right onto the boat. It had it's own rope handle coming from the tip and you would attempt to stand up on the back. We called it the death sled because you had zero control and if you bobbed at all it was over quick. They actually still make them out of plastic I think.

Can you recommend a decent budget intermediate board I can learn on and grow into for a few years? 6' 185. Also, if you ever pass through Northern CO, I'd be stoked to pull you behind my 1995 Sanger DLX20 that has 273 Orig hours. Get some early morning mid week glass 😂

Not sure if you'll see this comment in an older video, But I bought an O'brian Freestyle probably 22 years ago and it has a similar shape and size to you vintage board. I recently pulled it out to give it a go and quickly realized the sandal strap bindings were not going to cut it. So I just purchased your 2021 pro model board and will hopefully get to take it out this weekend for my birthday. I've been binge watching a lot of your videos trying to get back into riding after a 20 year break.
