F it let's go right now who's down???

you puttin in?

Yeah, whats the deal Duffy.

4:30ish!

Well I am game. I will meet you guys after 5:30. Ill give you a call to make sure you guys are there.

How was the riding at "The Glory Hole Boat Ramp?

Real nice. First time behind a Malibu. Amazing wake. Got some rain and had to get under the bridge as the sacks un-loaded. <BR> <BR>Duffy- I left my cell phone in your boat. Im sure it is toast with all that rain. <BR> <BR>John- I took a left out of the boat ramp, took a right on hillsburough, and then took 275. Only took like 15 mins door to door. Might want to try it and see if its faster.

It was a good night of riding. John, yes, that is the way I went. It looked quicker on the map.

Matt - As soon as i left i was like wait, what did matt say again? The only thing with me taking 275 is i have to take Dale Mabry alllllllllllllllllllllllllll the way down to my house which is alsmost right behind the airforce base so it is a 10 minute drive on Dale Mabry for me.

John, I saw on the map, when you go under I-4 on 56th, veer to the left on Melbourne Blvd, that turns in to 40th street. Then you don't need to go up and around on E. River Hills Dr. It will also save you the headache of trying to pull on 40th st and having to cross traffic.

I see I need to start skipping out on work and get some riding in. Looks like everyone else was on the water.

Anyone going out tomorrow afternoon? Im up for it!

Duffy- I dont have any other way of getting in touch with you. Want to ask if you saw my cell phone in your boat while you were wiping it down. I think I left it in there. Its a nokia.

Matt, sorry, I got stuck at work today. I have a meeting until 4pm tomorrow, so I would have to goto Tarpon either early tomorrow or 5ish pm tomorrow. I'm thinking of hitting up the river on Saturday morning if you are interested.

Oh no worries man. I might be interested Saturday morning. What time were you thinking?

Not really related to finding a third, butt...who do you guys insure your boat with down there. I move there in about 2 weeks and need to switch companies. If you could PM me, that would be fine so we don't fill up the thread w/ unrelated information. Progressive was insane at 3k per year. Up in WI, I pay 290 for the year.

Anyone riding this weekend? I have myself and two girls. Not bad ratio.

lol..nice post Matt, I sent you an email with my number and my plan for tomorrow. <BR> <BR>JB, I sent you a pm.

just for the record, duffy did not land a roll to revert because he was taking them absolutely MASSIVE! on that note, he should have landed it but being the crippled kid who rebroke myself three tricks in, i guess i cant talk. I am out in texas and get back WED before expo, anybody down to ride then? wakeboard/wakeskate/kneeboard... well not kneeboard but im down for whateva

Skubz- I didnt get your e-mail. Did you send it to <a href="mailto:matt.murphy4@gmail.com">matt.murphy4@ gmail.com</a>?

call or text me at 727 482 9717 10Am hbr

Be there or be square

This thread is making me jealous! There is no talk and even less riding happening here in Shreveport unless its me and my crew! I wanna be back in FL with ya'll and skippin out on work for the glass sessions! Man do I miss home...

I got hurt. I was learning to water ski, of all things, with Dom and Brian last sunday and pulled a muscle near my shin. I thought I'd snapped my leg, but since I can walk, I'm just sticking to Icy Hot, knee to ankle. I missed a ride this morning because of it, longest week ever!

Anyone feel like riding today? I've been out of town and want to get on the water today. Call, text, whatever. Would like to put in at Davis Island by Noon, do some riding, then maybe take the boat over to Hula Bay for some drinkin' @ the pool with chicks in bikinis. (813) 245-2675. <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/53686/726317.jpg" alt="Upload">

We hit the The Spot on Saturday with Skubz and the ramp was covered by a huge floating weed patch.

I purposely put that there as a deterrent against anti-wakeboarding craft. There is a secret lever you must engage to remove the floating weed patch. You will need to take the Oath of “The Spot” to receive this top secret information. <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/crazy.gif" border=0> <BR> <BR>BTW the 15' gator that hangs out there is not a detterent, he is very much real don't F with him. <BR> <BR>(Message edited by duffy on August 16, 2009)

We used the other boat ramp. But one guy worked for awhile with an anchor and a rope. He finally got his SeaDoo boat in the water.

That guy was determined to move the patch. That anchor was like something you buy at Walgreens on your way to the lake. It was weak! <BR> <BR>Who is riding this week?

I will be out for sure, just not sure what days yet. I will let all know...

I can ride tonight, otherwise I am in Wash DC until Friday. Let me know if anybody wants to ride, otherwise I think I am going to hit up the cable.

We need to put a schedule up here. How cool would that be? Picture this: <BR>(Rider X thinking softly to himself - then on the phone)"Tuesday afternoon, f work - whos riding on Tuesdays, I dont know Ill check wakeworld - oh look Capt X takes his boat out on Tuesdays - whats up Capt X? Im taking a career risk and headed your way - only live one - seize th e day all that crap - whats that? Gas money? Man, I thought we were friends. Add another ten minutes to my arrival time so I can stop at the bank..." <BR>Yep - I dont want to be at work today.

Can I be Capt X?

i get back thursday morning, anybody down for then? ill drive from airport straight to the river if thats what it takes. duffy, i need a redemption set behind the vlx for my weak show last time!

I could ride on Wednesday if anyone is hitting the river. I work til 5:00/5:30 close to downtown Tampa.

Of course you can man - I want to be Rider X.

Weather has been sheety, shootin for Friday anyone down? <BR> <BR>Clark- You got it, plus I need some coaching. I think I finally got the crows dialed.

i went back and started riding the slingshot board again and remembered this is the only board i feel super comfortable on. threw down a couple switch 7's and almost got switch 9 at TSR so cannot wait to get on the boat. are you going to expo? and the first crow you threw i considered you landing cause they looked freakin better than mine

Duffy- I am up to ride this Friday. I am dippin out of work around 1pm. Lets ride!

Is anyone going to OWC next week for the World Series?

We will be on the HBR around 11am tomorrow. I think DC will be there with his boat around 2ish. We will be out all day as long as peeps keep showing up.

Glory Hole Boat Ramp!

Ted - You coming down? I am still without a board since Duffy broke mine <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/rofl.gif" border=0>. JOKES. Also did you get my message about the keys next weekend?

Yes and yes. I am just trying to get all my work done so I can skate out earlier tomorrow. Sounds like there will be a couple boats - thats always cool fo sho!

Skubz- this is the crow mobe I was talking about last weekend. So sick and stylish. Also- first time he landed it. Notice the grab. <BR><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1isu44h6K4" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1isu44h6K4</a> <BR> <BR>Ready for Friday!

I'll be out to "the spot" as soon as I can skip out of work today (probably around 2pm).

I will be there around noon!

Wow! Matt that was a super smooth poppy crow mobe. I'm jealous, did you all get hammered by the storm when you were out that way? <BR> <BR>I'm going to hit up the spot tomorrow morning if anybody wants to come out.

Steve - I am down. What time are you going out?

shoot I am heading to orlando for surf expo or I would be in. I really want to check out the new spot on hbr w/glory hole!!

I will be there at 10am.

should be there by then.

Who all is riding this morning?

On my way out to meet steve.

anybody shreddin this week?

I would hit up the HBR a couple of times this week, just not sure when yet.

also gettin a month pass or so to mccormicks so i can have a place to shred every day after class or between them so i will definately be down to meet up and do some cable riding and filming! more riding than filming usually... probably no filming at all, we never do, rather ride <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/rofl.gif" border=0>

I just spent the day in Tampa amazing place. I was wondering where you guys ride at, Lake, Ocean?

Anywhere. What's your poison?

We have a lot of water Barry - so we ride rivers, ditches, oceans, shipping canals, lakes - wherever there is glass! <BR> <BR>Anyone riding today? I have a meeting in Tampa that should be done around noonish - I would love an afternoon set!

Call me if your going out today - I may not be able to check in here...

Sounds like a good location Ted. I am staying in Davenport until tomorrow morning. I would love to go out and ride, if you guys are looking for a third or just want to pull an out of towner. If not I am thinking Ill check out the cable park. Thanks for the write back. 570 954 1695.

Jerrod - You're the man. That little extra tug on the rope going up the wake works like a charm. I stuck every (4) 3 I tried today.

Good to hear. You were taking those 3 pretty large on Saturday, just had to fix the handle. Now it is time for a 5!

Is anyone riding today? Does anyone want to ride today?

We are riding today and would love to have you out, however, a lake in southern Oklahoma isn't probably an option for you today..ha <BR> <BR>I'm getting my last ride in Oklahoma today and then pulling my boat back to Tampa this wknd... Catch up with you guys in a week or so!!

DeeCee got dem 3's on lock yo!

lol..nice scotty. See you next week. <BR> <BR>Ted, do you still own your kiteboarding gear? I just picked up a trainer kite and I am practicing flying it for awhile before strapping on a board.

Yep. I had a trainer kite and HATED it - too small, too fast. I had better luck fying a (borrowed) smaller kite in low wind. 7m or 10m. <BR> <BR>The kite I have right now is a monster made for low wind days (25m I think...?). I would like to get a smaller one. <BR> <BR>Let me know if you get serious - I now a guy that knows a guy at Seven Kiteboarding in Islamorada.

comon, school just started, im sittin here twitching cause i have not been riding!! i have beer, gas, and girls, somebody please help me!!

oh and anybody who has a jet ski or little alumicraft with a 40+horse, lets go shred the wakeskate!!!

No takers yesterday, I will offer again, does anyone want to ride today?

Skubz- looking to get into kiting? I have been wanting to get into it for a while. Thought about taking lessons out on DeSoto with tampabaykiteboarding.com or kiteboardingtampabay.com cant remember which. <BR> <BR>Anyone riding this weekend? Have some ladies that might be willing to come out.

Steve I might be up for riding today if you are putting in at the river. What time are you looking at going out? <BR> <BR>I would have gone yesterday but I had to get my hitch on my truck fixed and Nissan had my truck all afternoon.

Craaaaaaaaaaaap. Just remembered I have my radio show tonight so won't be able to make it.

Any one planning on getting togather at all over Labor day weekend? I'm leaving WI on the 3rd and get in town on the 4th and would like to meet some people ASAP as I pretty much don't know any one in the area. Towing the 06 Supra Gravity Games w/ me <IMG SRC="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":-)" BORDER=0>and moving to Palm Harbor, can't freakin wait!

Hey JB, I'm going to be out-of-town for that entire week and the following week. But I will post when I get back.
