So who is going to be there smacking rails???

I'll be there smacking hard<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/biggrin.gif" border=0> <BR>Have the medic standing by<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/proud.gif" border=0> <BR>This should be good times, see ya there

I'm also thinking I'll be there.

still planning on it. is it going to be as many pulls behind the demo boats as well, or should I try and line up another ride for down there? I am very interested in hitting a rail for the first time.

there will be 4 boats and a jetski so i would think that there will be enough pulls going around and if not there are enough friendly canyon lake people around that im sure you could find a pull at late notice. <BR> <BR>that said i will be headed up tomorrow morning hoping to get there around 12 or 1 but im excited, should be a really fun couple of days.

Get to hang with Mr.Incredible!!!!

cool. sounds good. I will be there with wife and baby. looking forward to it. <BR>oh yeah. directions to the channel??? coming from Ventura. <BR>thanks.

I'll be down that way tonight, and will be hangin out on Wed, and Thurs. Should be fun as hell!!

i may be there in the afternoon tomorrow, but will be there for sure on thursday.

I'll be there on Thursday.

Must be nice not to have to work during the week. <BR> <BR>Yes, I am jealous!

It was a fun day of slider building and I'm pretty proud of what we accomplished. Thanks to Steve Bates for providing the lumber, hardware and know-how! Thanks to Jeff House, Wade from California Correct Craft and Josh for all their help as well. <BR> <BR>Randy Harris, Kyle Murphy and Melissa Marquardt were riding in the channel while we were building, so that was some great entertainment as well. <BR> <BR>Here are a few pics of the process and the final product (almost)... <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/440429.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/440430.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/440431.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/440432.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/440433.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/440434.jpg" alt="Upload">

For those that need directions... <BR> <BR>Access the Channel via Lakepoint Park by taking the Diamond Drive offramp and heading west. Turn right on East Lakeshore Drive and go roughly 1.5 miles and you'll see the park on your left. Park and walk all the way through the park to the Channel and you can't miss it.

is it wetsuit riding down there???? THAT LOOOKS COLD

No, they were just wearing them cuz they were in the water for so long (and they're pussies). Jeff went without for most of the day and so did I. The water temp is actually quite nice.

hahaha dave thats funny. Are you gonna be there friday?

Ahh yes, Bates strikes another pose for the ages! Have fun guys, wish I could be there.

I don't think I'm going to make it on Friday, but I'll be there today!

I was in Elsi last Saturday and we must be a bunch of pussies because we all threw on our wetsuits!!

I don't know.....dry suit for me possibly.

The only reason for drysuit is to keep the munge that infects Elsinore off you. Did the temp drop after the Canyon Comp? I trunked that. Pu$$ies.<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/wink.gif" border=0>

drysuit???? in april??????

I'm bringing it so at least I have a choice.<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/proud.gif" border=0> <BR> <BR> <BR>What's the water temp like?

The temp is mid to late 60's. It just like the Ocean in the summertime. Don't rock the suit in the summertime, so. It's supposed be 80 plus air temp today as well. <BR> <BR>What about them sliders? Word on the water is, they are staying in the channel for more than a minute. Any truth to these bastions of information? <BR> <BR>(Message edited by committed on April 25, 2007)

ed, where were you?

I was there today and It was HOT!! The water was about 64 deg. No wetsuit needed just maybe a heater top. get there early for good water because the wind kicked up around 2pm and it got choppy.

ohh that would be tomorrow.<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/happy.gif" border=0>
