Congratulations on that man.
How did she do once she was up?
My wife got up for her first time two weekends ago, but she didn't stay up long.
Has a hard time keeping her feet in the right position.

Also, what kind of boat is that? All I can really tell about it is that its a V-twin.

And I agree with Tash on that statement. Although, (in Florida) a spotter is not required by law as long as you have the wide angled mirror. It is still a good thing to have.

Re: just turned 6

I was in the boat when we we're boarding, wife driving. I was just out of the boat to take the picture, but when Alyssa was boarding I was in the boat.
The boat is a 87 mark twain, 17 foot. As for how long she was up for, so long that her hands started to hurt, we are so proud!!!!!

Very cool. Back in '94 I had my ex stepson kneeboarding at 6. My nearly 4 year old daughter wants to be in the water all the time.

My daughter's first time up was at 6 too. She popped right up but wasn't sure what to do after that. She basically stayed at that level for the season. Wasn't motivated to try much as a 7 y/o. This summer as an 8 y/o she's finally starting to listen and can stay up for a few hundred feet.

We'll get there though -- I think she has Tara Hamilton potential
