I saw a video of surfing this wake on Lake Tahoe about a week ago and I’ve been envisioning surfing it every day since.
My amazing wife, our baby, and I were leaving Tahoe when she said she felt like we only did part of all the activities we planned. I agreed and said I really wanted to surf that sternwheeler boat wave. She replied let’s do it, so we impulsively turned the truck around and drove to South Lake Tahoe…

Meraculus produces inspired, uplifting, and healing content for radio, television, and the internet.
One reason I started making movies was to see if I had that gift. The other reason was I saw ways to improve the world and I wanted to inspire people to help me do that. When I went to the movie theater and came out inspired I wondered wow how great will it be when all entertainment feels that amazing? What if everyone is watching and listening to content that inspires and uplifts? Will they greet people with a smile and a kind word? Will they offer to help a stranger, and do something nice for their family and friends? How will people drive when listening to music that touches their soul? When the daily message being created and broadcast in the form of video and music is one of love and compassion what will our world look like?
