OK... I spoke to Linda today... you remember her from other forums as the 50+ dynamo who learned to wakeboard with 4 ADR's.

She lives on a lake in Texas (1 hour from DFW) and may be able to host us... a few spare beds and lots of carpet for sleeping bags. Master Craft Barefoot and tons of Texas hospitality.

I don't have any idea for a venue... I'll continue to discuss options and dates. I think that late August will be good for me... let's see what our options are and who we get... This'll be fun.

our house may not be big enough to host everyone but our Tige' 21v puts out a great wakesurf wake as well as wakeboard wake. The ski wake isn't too bad either, we are only 2 minutes from the lake here.

Great pic clinton... Everyone should realize that that's a 3-level ProDisc behind the boat! Where is the rope? Can you keep up with the boat doing this??? Very cool... I can't wait to try it.



Is there a place to camp on the lake? Nearby hotel? What's it like in August there? What airport would we fly into and how far from you is it?

there is no where to camp on this lake but there are 2 hotels within 3 minutes and a dozen more with in 20 minutes. 'Americinn' 3430 Northdale Boulevard Coon Rapids, MN 55448 US is the closest. August is beautiful, typically in the 80's or 90's which is perfect on the lake. Last year I had friends in from Colorado the water temp was 85 degrees, it was like bath water. MSP is the main airport, it is about 30 to 45 minutes away depending on traffic.

Once you get good, and Michele has gotten pretty good, you can go forever with the wave of the boat just pushing you along. 99% of everyone starts by using the rope, which is a blast in itself. I even got a friend up who has never gotten up in any water sport, he's 320 lbs and he loves to wakesurf.

I just noticed that her hair isn't even hardly wet yet. I love this sport.
