Fun times with friends – Smith Lake, Castle House, WakeSurfing, Kneeboarding!

Short video showing the Three Finger Cliffs the Castle House, many boats, and some watersport fun last Saturday with Todd, Nicole and my wife Amber.    We’re still working on our wakesurfing skills! 🙂  It’s been a long time since we have visited Lewis Smith Lake near Cullman Alabama. Many thanks for the invite!
