Ok, anyone who has been wakeboarding for good amount time knows those “moments” that come every so often that are deemed unforgettable. Most of the time you can’t really explain it….things just line up and time stands still as if anything that is happening outside of that moment doesn’t matter at all. Well, we had one right here. This was deep on Negro River in Brazil. We finally had some amazing weather, no rain and glassy water all afternoon. We decided to just point the boat in one direction and ride as far as we could. Right at dusk, we reached a point in the river that just opened up into this huge lake. It was completely surreal. You could not distinguish the difference in the water and the sky. I have never seen water that calm, in that big of an area, ever. The sunset was magical and there was not another person for miles. We were alone in huge oasis. Definitely one of those moments that i will never forget. Take me back.
