Surfing in Windermere

This past weekend I was lucky enough to head out to Windermere for the weekend. Stayed with friends of Lisa's, Mark and Brandy, at their cabin and camped out on the beach. The picture above is the view from my tent just before sunset. Got a chance to meet a number of Lisa's friends that she's often talking about, so it was nice to put a face to the name. Mark just bought an amazing boat, and we spent a good part of both days out on the water. Wake Surfing seems to be a pretty popular thing out there. I had never seen it before, but it is super cool. Essentially, you surf the wake behind the boat. Initially you get towed, but once the wake settles out and you find your balance you can let go of the rope and the strength of the wave pulls you along. I didn't try it for fear of hurting my knee again, but Lisa and Andrew both did, and they were naturals. By the end of the second day they were both riding the wave without a tow rope.
We had sunny blue skies the whole time, so all in all, another great weekend!
