Wow, that looks like so much fun! Brandon was like a little kid out there, laughing and giggling! You were looking good out there, as well! Y’all will be pros in no time. Glad y’all made a new friend. He seems like a good one! I like y’all’s work ethic…gotta work hard to play hard! Hope you have a fabulous weekend. Take care and we’ll see ya next week!

[@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses]

Dustin’s a keeper! 🤠 thank you so much!

[@alexissilva3951]

I can’t DESCRIBE how much I love your videos!

[@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses]

well played! 😆👏❤️

[@RedMercuryBluesBand]

Great work ethic guys! Y'all should be proud of yourselves!

[@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses]

Thank you! 🙏🙏

[@danpeeler6418]

Wow, I did not know those would do that. That is so awesome. Thank you for showing us that.

[@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses]

They’re pretty wild! 💫 very fun though. Glad you enjoyed!

[@janiedillingham3190]

Wow! Too bad foiling wasn't a thing when I was young enough to do it. Ya'll will be pro foilers in no time at'all. When I was your age, we skied all over the lake, did wave boarding, and tubing. But foiling? Man, that looks like SO much fun. Sigh! Brandon is one of those dudes you just can't help but like. LOL! I loved this video Sarah. SO MUCH FUN!

[@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses]

We’re slowly getting the hang of it, right now it’s kinda hard and we wipe out a lot as you can see hahah but once we’re like Dustin, it’s gonna be the most fun thing evaaa!!! ❤️

[@crappie119]

thank you guys for sharing these details of your life with us! Your love of the outdoors and water is truly contagious and fun! Stay Blessed!

[@fayroberts7127]

Try Magnet fishing to get your stuff from the lake. Love your vids

[@Wandering_whatsnext]

Watching y’all finally getting to enjoy that beautiful boat had me smiling.

[@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses]

🥰❤️ thank you! It was definitely overdue haha

[@skjoiner]

Thanks! Great Lake fun day and some extra tripod swag!

[@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses]

Steve, you are so insanely generous!! I will start tripod shopping now 🤠 thank you so very much!!! 🙏

[@sarameitner6770]

Every time you post is such a delight. And showing us how hydrofoiling/foil surfing works - phenomenal! What a wonderful addition Dustin is to your circle. ENJOY!!!!!

[@janingham1823]

Love this!!! I’m like. Whooo hooooo. it’s Friday!!!! Let’s see what Sarah and Brandon have been up to!!!!!

[@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses]

🥰❤️ that’s so awesome

[@benlaferriere9150]

Friggin Brandon 😂 his type of humor is sooooo much like mine and his attitude is spot on 😂 this specific water sport looks fun however I'm like a ol rock .... I'd need to be wrapped in floaties so perhaps I'd be happy with watching and designated driver for y'all's enjoyments 😊

[@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses]

☺️😝

[@TomBrownlie-ke8gz]

Wow?!!! We want more couch!!!!!!❤ Just a old dude from Pender Harbour BC 😎👍☮️🇨🇦

[@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses]

😂😂👏

[@darlene4232]

That is like learning to regular water ski

[@AZJH8374]

THOSE BOARDS ARE $1,000-$15,000!!! YIKES. SURE LOOKS LIKE A BLAST THO! I'LL WATCH YOU TWO FROM MY COUCH L9L

[@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses]

$15k would be the super high end of the electric ones that you don’t need a boat to use! Personally we’d never pay that for one of those, you could buy a whole other boat (or a couple) AND another non-electric foil with that! 😂 got this board for wayyyy under a grand, thanks to Dustin’s resources as a hyperlite rep. 🙏 it’s so fun!

[@Una...]

I watch a channel called Celebrating Appalachia, it's one of my favourites here on KZbin. Anyhoo, Tipper (its her channel) was just out at Fontana a couple weeks ago! When I heard her mention it, I immediately thought, "oh! My friends Brandon and Sarah live on Fontana!" lol What a great weekend for y'all! Love from the North Coast of Oregon 🌊💙

[@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses]

Small world! 🤠 hehehe & love that we are “your friends” 💙 it’s true!!

[@bethgahring6676]

😂❤I absolutely loved every bit of this video! How incredibly fun😊 Laughing and smiling along with you all! I am looking forward to seeing you enjoying your life this summer!😊

[@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses]

so fun ☺️ glad you enjoyed too!! shaping up to be the best summer ever!

[@JosephPuplava]

That foiling board looks so hard! I will crack my head open like a Humpty Dumpty egg! What do you rate 1 to 10 (hardest) on the first try? How many times did you fall before you manage the board? Which one do you like? Wakeboard or foiling board? What year is that boat? I love the old boat than the new boat. Love that style of the big windshield with the door in the middle. Love that!

[@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses]

The boat’s a ‘96! Foiling is wayyy harder so right now surfing is more fun, but I think once we get the hang of it we will probably end up enjoying foiling more! 🙌

[@grunthorful]

Sarah is a fearless young woman !!! Fantabulous indeed ! Job is well done : Brandon is a lucky guy, I bet he deserves it ! Guys like you reconcile me with humanity ! you are really nice people 😉

[@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses]

you are kind to say all that! 💙 thank you so much. glad to have you here!

[@davidrussell9078]

Loved it.Water sports are behind me,Enjoy! Loved you post

[@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses]

Glad you enjoyed!! ❤️❤️

[@waderue]

wow you guys so young and with knee and my hips I can never do that but you have fun and ya that is a lot to be said about a old leather couch with zero to 60 sleep capability I know because I have and I love it and it great place to sleep lol

[@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses]

Team couch! 🤠

[@teresaslovingcare4444]

Wow! Good job you all! I'm exhausted watching you. Can't wait to see the finished product of Blue.

[@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses]

Coming soon!! 💙💙

[@adamgorman8874]

The couch is the 4th character. And the only Jones that doesn't float.

[@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses]

😂😂 sounds about right!

[@juliesutton4551]

That looks like sooo much fun and a great workout!!!

[@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses]

No doubt! 🙌

[@marksteadman]

KZbin has unsubscribed me 3 times now!

[@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses]

so wild! 😤 can’t understand that for the life of me. thanks for checking!

[@greeneyedgirlina]

It is so fun to watch y’all having fun. As I sat in my comfy chair and watched Brandon learning to foil, I found myself leaning left then right, trying to keep him balanced on that board! Haha. Have a great week, hope Jericho comes through for y’all soon!

[@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses]

🤣 that’s awesome !

[@Kallapryy]

Excellent work (play)!!!

[@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses]

Thanks!!! 🤠💙

[@turdferguson5300]

I don't know if this w9ould snag a tripod but it might. Take a metal fish stringer and open all the hooks except where it attaches to the bank. Tie a strong cord to that hook, toss it in a few times where you dropped the object and usually it will snag stuff. I use one on my boat and dock.

[@darlene4232]

That is good exercise

[@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses]

sure nuff! 💙

[@DunstanW]

Ohhh lawrd waiting to see this unfold.. 👋🏾 there

[@DunstanW]

Ohhh how cool, you guys had so much fun, I can imagine it in the summer time, by then you both will be a pros at it. Great to meet Austin 👋🏾. See yaaa next week

[@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses]

We’re gonna give it our best shot!! 💙

[@AllensAutomotiveReparations]

you should put one of those surf board tethers on your tripods when working with it on the water that way you wont lose it in the lake with or without a camera.

[@sahoyte]

Thanks Sarah. Just gave you the 250th thumbs up. Looks like everyone had fun, even Brandon when he was falling. Keep up the amazing KeepingAfloat videos coming. They're wonderful.

[@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses]

So glad you’re enjoying! Thanks for the engagement with the videos! 💙💙

[@TerryFalan]

We’re so glad that you hard working kids could take some time and have some fun! You guys were doing great learning how to foil! Won’t be long and you’ll give the pro a run for his money! Really fun video guys! And nice job detailing that boat! Looked great! Have a great week! T&C!

[@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses]

Thanks guys!!! 🤝❤️

[@mezanian]

Dustin defying the laws of gravity effortlessly. I watch the guys in the surf here using foils without powerboats or e force. It still blows my old surfers mind.😊🇦🇺🤙

[@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses]

Right?! 😋

[@vonheise]

Amazing video! I never leave any camera equipment dangling after losing a new high end phone in a river kayaking. Everything I carry in a boat or kayak is attached to me or the kayak now with a neck or wrist strap. I was an amateur star 55 years ago on every kind of ski from a clown act on two skis with them out of the water surfing on my butt, down to a two foot long single ski. My wife and I would share two skis while kissing for pictures, but it has changed so much. The hardware has changed, but no way to know if the skill level has changed that much.

[@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses]

Thank you!! 🙏 I bet those pictures were legendary 💥

[@Brian-mp2mv]

With all my back injuries and surgeries... I decided to try an Air Chair once, due to it being "low impact"... the Air Chair remains undefeated! Brian 0 Air Chair 1🏆

[@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses]

😂😂 we hear those air chairs were no joke!

[@daniellesees919]

Looks fun, cool that you can do it behind any boat. I tried wake surfing for the first time last summer and absolutely loved it. I'm not sure foils are legal in our lakes in CA. We have a lot of rules. I'll have to check into it. Love your videos.

[@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses]

If wake surfing is legal there I couldn’t imagine foiling isn’t, since wake surfing requires a boat that can make such a damaging wave to the shoreline & foiling doesn’t! Fingers crossed it is, if so, you should totally try it! 😍

[@alisinwanderland]

Days like this are such a blessing. It is good to see you both out there having a little fun, interspersed in all your hard work. I wonder what goes through Iko's mind when she sees you guys foil surfing?

[@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses]

you are so right 🙌❤️ great question about Iko 😂 I have wondered the same thing!

[@jagmaf43]

Fun times. Tell Brandon we will be there in 2 weeks. I have some Brugal for him. We also to secure a slip for 2 days.

[@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses]

oh heck yea!! he will love that. thanks in advance yall! hope to see you around! 🏴‍☠️

[@sherryacox65]

Wow love that one of our Arkansas peeps was up your way!!! That looked like lots of fun!!

[@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses]

I reckon we like them Arkansas folks! 🙌

[@Brenda.727]

So much fun! More Dustin! I knew you could do it Sarah! And to be the only just on the water is a treat!

[@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses]

so true! 🥳 Dustin will definitely be back!! ☺️

Wowza. That looks like so much fun.

Greer's Ferry Lake is awesome!!! Loved skiing it all day, then heading back to campground for steaks or burgers🥰

[@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses]

That’s the perfect day right there! Except we’re too scared to ski so sub in a different water sport 😆

[@Brian-mp2mv]

@@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses yes, skiing is a dying form😢 But, I'm a GenX'er... Learned on a 1971 Fish & Ski Tri-Hull with a Johnson 75hp outboard🤣 We was scootin'!

Hubs had yet another surgery today so I’m watching this while he’s recovering.

Sending love to both of yall!! ❤️‍🩹

[@sissylou1973]

@@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses thanks sooo much ! He got into an accident with a chainsaw and it was awful !

[@KeepingAfloatWiththeJoneses]

that is super scary! I was cutting down a tree one time and the chainsaw slipped and hit my leg, would have cut through the femoral artery most likely if I hadn’t been wearing chaps! the chaps stopped the saw from continuing to cut in a millisecond, it was amazing. this all to say, chainsaw accidents can happen to anybody and can be easily fatal, so glad he is ok all things considered! 🙏

[@sissylou1973]

Well he’s still in there and they are trying all they can throw at him to get it under control , first hospital jacked up the original stitching and didn’t even given antibiotics, so day 7 and we have been to another hospital twice trying to tackle a bad infection. Thanks yaw for the prayers ! 🫶🏻❤️

[@sissylou1973]

He’s at Haywood county hospital now and under excellent care!

[@waderue]

why would you sail around world trust me you don't want to do with all bull going on across the pond now they are still war monger bull and people don't have the same rights we do here so I can see sailing around close and maybe going to England but ya it is mess now I always want to go to to place over sea but not now

[@mezanian]

If we listened to Nannies we wouldn't go anywhere. You stay safe, in your bubble, while we open our minds and hearts to a wonderous world.

unless you HAVE sailed around the world we ain’t just gonna blindly trust your word on that one 😆 gonna go experience it for ourselves, will report back here what we find!! 🤝
