Wakeboarding at 7:00

The plan for the 2024 season was simple: get confident on a wakeboard. So was the format: “in the wetsuit at 7:00, an hour of riding, then into town.” What I lacked was someone at the wheel, so I said so in my stories: “anyone interested, message me.”

Then came mornings like this one — six o’clock, water like glass. And on 9 July, a short update: “Morning. The wakeboard driver problem is solved.”
