Lake Roosevelt WASHINGTON

Gooood morning CWB! On the daily morning commute to the floating outhouse, I looked back at the cove where our houseboats were parked behind this rock. As the sun rose above the lake in the distance, the light bounced off the rock and illuminated the sky. I brought the boat to idle and shot my version of the Prudential Rock.

Kevin Henshaw CURACAO, NETHERLANDS ANTILLES

Play the tide just wrong and you get a rusty boat cleat to the teeth, followed by a whack in the head with a gaint under water rock. Henshaw, 50-50 safety.

There’s more where this came from… Danny and Sean Kilgus have been throwing down for the next BFY flick, DEFY. Keep your eyes peeled when it releases later this spring. You’re going to want—no, need—a copy for your wake DVD library. This will be at the front of the shelf!

Some coffee, glassy water and some soul turns with Dubs is a great way to start the day.
