My brother rented a 2009 Super Air Nautique 210 for when I will be at the family cabin in Wisconsin.
My grandfather bought the place in 1945. I have been up there almost every summer of my life. As a kid, my family would spend up to eight weeks in Wisconsin swimming, canoeing, fishing, and running around. The place has been upgraded with running water and flushing toilets but it still rustic and 100 years old.
During my youth, I always wanted a speedboat. The neighbors had a speedboat but we never wrangled an invitation to go waterskiing. My dad would pull me with a 9.9 horsepower motor on a john boat. Being small and skinny then had some benefits.
I have recently become infatuated with wake surfing and wake foiling. We should be able to do both behind The Super Air Nautique. It does not have the electronics to instantly tune the wave so I ordered a suction-on wake shaper to improve the wave and allow us to surf easier.
This boat is the dream fulfilled. I hope the weather cooperates and reality is close to the fantasy. Even if it isn’t, it should be a fun week. Vacation is only four months away.
