Have you ever been to Lake Powell for an entire week and then find out that SHAUN FREAKING MURRAY is in the house boat next to you? But here's the kicker, you don't find out he has been LITERALLY the next house boat over until the night before you have to leave. I have never been so tempted to go over to another house boat, in the dark, and meet someone. But A: that's creepy, and B: it's not polite to bug people on vacation. Either way, what an opportunity missed, sad day. Shaun, thanks for saving our stuff on the beach when the winds kicked up Saturday and we weren't around to save it. Real class act.

That was your stuff blowing away in the wind?! It was the owners of our houseboat that first noticed things on the run. Maybe next time we can cross paths...and actually get to say hi!

I can’t wait to see you again!

One of my favorite places on earth! Love the views, and not much beats waking up on top of a houseboat to a giant lake of glass!

Love Lake Powell! Spent a couple weeks aboard the Destiny this summer. Amazing boat and always an amazing time!

Definite bucket list material

Awesome Video!

I love this place!! Grandparents have a houseboat out here and we go every year. So beautiful!

I have to get out there!! Bucket list

Living your best life! Dang bruh, it’s good to be SM.

You wake boarded where i learned to wake board, i love lake Powell.

Seriously one of the most beautiful places to be. Nothing like an early morning session on the water when no one else is awake and you have the entire lake to yourself. It’s truly paradise.

Numero uno ☝️ wow

get to Lake Powell 2-3 times a summer for a little bit of surfing, well worth it, great video!

I’ve been hitting powell since 84…. It is mars and I’m pretty sure this place is heaven!!!! Well done SM

I'm injured and want some good butter tricks to try where I don't have to leave the water too much. I like your tumble turn. I'm going out to learn that this weekend. I'm down in Oz and wakeboard on the Murray river in tocumwal. Camp on the river next to the boat.

Peter! The Murray river! Pretty awesome that you're down there bc that was the first place I went to when I went to Australia back in 96. Met a guy named Chief who was riding a board called a Cordial. It was skateboard style layup, no channels, some rocker. He rode it w baseless snowboard bindings and skate shoes. He had such a unique style and made me look at wakeboarding differently. The Cordial is where the Hyperlite Roam came from and really has a lot to do w where park boards came from so huge shoutout to Chief for where riding is today. Check out this video where I do some riding and don't really leave the surface much... kzread.info/dash/bejne/eZ9kpcaoetvemZs.html

My favorite place to be, my family has been going every summer for 45+ years... Except this year... Due to covid, our houseboat rental was canceled.... That is Antelope Point marina... where our reservation was supposed to be. hopefully next year.... I remember your quote when you said you didn't expect it to be so "granger" in wakeboard video way back when..

Epic!!!

Hi first

We went to lake Powell this summer, hauled my G25 out there, 24hours of driving from KY. Flat tire on the trailer out there, but pulled over in front of the biggest tire store I have ever seen, just outside Little Rock. Got to Lake Powell, was on the water a few hours and hit rock. Just a few feet out of the channel, the depth went from 100+ ft to 18 inches, instantly. We were the 10th person that week to hit the same rock. Worst day ever in my Nautique. Glad your trip was safe and un-eventful. Anyway, my point for posting all this... Lake Powell is beautiful, but dangerous, study the lake, stay in the channel, really stay in the channel, and be careful.

Man that sucks. Sorry. That's lake Powell there is no rhyme or reason to it sometimes. You can be in a safe place one day and the water lowers and now you are in a danger zone.

For reals I saw the potential of blowing out the bottom of a boat there. You really have to watch your depth gauge but even that doesn't tell you when a cliff is rising above you in an instant!

Shaun ever wakeboard flathead lake in MT? You can see the bottom until the depth starts hitting 50+ feet beautiful

I haven't but it's on our family's list of places to travel.

When were you actually there Shaun? No wetsuit so I wonder if the water is still warm. We have been to Powell a few times. Beautiful when you get far away from the marina. We are going to St George Utah next week and bringing the boat to check out the lakes. I think it will be too cold for me but Paul will go in with his spring suit. It should at least be warmer than when we were in Orlando with you.

You gave the ever important tip of pulling your shorts back down to cover your legs after being pulled up on a wake board. A better tip has never been given. 👍
