So I was away from the 16th until the 26th on the yearly holiday down at Lake Conjola. The perfect opportunity to put the new camera to the test.
Unfortunately we had some problems with our boat. (I believe it’s called lack of use and neglect from its owner) However, that didn’t stop those that wanted to wakeboard from wakeboarding and getting up to mischief on the water.
View 293 photos from Lake Conjola on my flickr account (Out of approximately 2,000 which I ended up taking)
Initial intentions were to make a few long posts about our holiday to Lake Conjola back in January, however since then, I’ve decided to make a series of what is going to be “tales from the lake” with a focus more on the photos which were taken and a few little stories.
So there’s a lot to do at Lake Conjola, but most people choose wakeboarding. Why? Because it’s fun and duh, it makes you look cool!
Not a day would go past without somebody asking “So when are we going for a ‘board’?”.
You get your stuff ready, get in the boat, drive out of the four knots zone and for the next 10 minutes, argue over who gets to board first. Eventually everyone gives in or somebody just jumps in the water indicating now that they’re in, they go first. Board goes on, rope goes out, and away we go!
For Blake, Dane and Danica, it was their first time riding since last year. All were up and riding first go.
Paul and Mark on the other hand, did get a bit of practice in during the year and were ready to show off some of their stuff. They couldn’t be shown up by those who hadn’t ridden in a year.
