Teo Skis...Then Flies

What I'm saying is, is that this is Teo. Anonymity intact. Note the single ski. Note the balance. Note the apparent speed at which Teo is travelling over the water. Note that he is outside of the wake, which means he moved, mostly on purpose. Now imagine, if you will, dear ol' Teo, attempting to move back to his left where he began his trip. Note that there is a significant portion of wake that must be navigated in the opposite direction, and then imagine that in real life, the stuff is moving quickly. Then imagine that Teo has very, very little actual control, as opposed to apparent control, and imagine what it would look like when he goes back over the wake. Imagine him literally flying through the air. Imagine him turning upside down as his feet keep going after being ramped by the wake. Imagine the ski soaring over the lake with the impressiveness of an Olympic event.
Teo lands. Back and ass and legs and arms flailing. Turning and twisting. Water infused throughout his sinus cavities. The ski landed a solid 20 yards further to Teo's left. When Teo finally let go of the rope, the tension released in that transaction sent the rope shooting helplessly vertically.
So. Teo cruising, followed by an up and overoverover bigsplash. The ski kept going for quite a while. The rope shot skyward. It was an explosion of impressive quality.

See Bigfoot there in the background? Over there next to Nessie?
This may be a high point in the blog's history thus far.
