We went to Litle Bow Lake to go wake boarding with George and Horatio Nathalias cousins or family friends.
They have a great speedboat with tanks in the front to adjust the amount of wake given off (in fact you can surf a surfboard off the bow wave if you want, they have ordered one but it didnt come in time) There were 8 of us aboard, 9 including Billi, Nat went before me and was a pro (like any sport she tries she makes it look easy), and I went last and dominated the field from the word go!!!!
I even did a switch (180 degree board turn) without knowing that it was difficult and not to be tried early on and went one handed.
(Dad before you get upset I've been asking around and there are no Windsurfers or Sailers out here because the wind is soo unpredicatble, you can go for a week or so with no wind....theres no sea here to mix things up!)
And Mum, "HI SUE", Nat and I both managed to hurt ourselves, but Nat is still sore and I'm better.
Nathalia stood up first time!
I got to undo the zipper!!
Time for Gilesey to tear the wake

I like this place! I love the idea and wish there was a place like this in Astoria, Queens. I am a surfer and found a "real surfer bar" in Point Break NYC. I am kinda jealous ;0PIts filled with surfers, people who like surfers, people who like the beach and people who don't want to live close to town. I really like this place. You know what they have these real Proctor and Channel One surfboards on the wall. It's nice for coming any day of the week and eating a late brunch. The food was outstanding. The brunch and sides were prefect and tasty. It is a perfect "escape" from city living. It is probably one of the only places where you can get a nice frozen pina colada or margarita. The service was on hit. They came up and checked on us so many times and made sure everything was up to par. It gets very active and the bartenders keep everybody having a good time. The bartender was very accommodating. He was nice enough to make a drink, that wasn't on the menu, for me :0) Did I mention the bartenders are nice eye candy. It was amazing to see their “das boot” which is shaped like a boot filled with beer. Don’t get me wrong, I am not drunk…it’s an actual boot shaped beer container ready to be emptied. Try it ..You will love it!! Oh. How can I forget, they even have a wheel o' shots where you just have to spin it and have to drink whatever shot it lands on!! Now call that bar creativity at its best!!! And when I spill a tray full of shots on myself, the bartender so kindly remakes them for me? Good music, too, and the decor helped us weather an otherwise overcast and rainy day. You know that old song "Brandy"? It goes, "Brandy, you're a fine girl, what a good wife you would be. But my life, my lover, my lady is the sea." I believe Brandy works here. No reason, I just do. And that song happens to be a guilty pleasure of mine, so that's a plus in my book. You can simply waltz over to this colorful and warm establishment, enjoy some drinks with friends, and walk home. The bar is right at the center, so you can walk to either side for drinks, and the bartenders are friendly and at your service. There is a variety of seating, good music, and friendly neighborhood people to make your time more enjoyable. Not pretentious, very cozy, I think Point Break is a fabulous place to spend some time with friends.
