figured it was about that time for a fresh start. <BR> <BR>anyone going out tomorrow morning, and have room for another??? supposed to be a norfwest wind, so Owasso would probably be pretty good if ya got out there early enough.

|

|
i'm thinking bout riding in it. i might be judging or driving as well. <BR> <BR>i should be able to make it by 445 or so on Tuesday.
|
Jay - <BR> <BR>Is that event setup for an audience at all?
|
There are no bleachers from what I can remember from last year, but there are grassy areas close to shore to sit on.
|
Yo AMO! Got your PM I will hit you up tonight with the deets!
|
Thanks man.
|
Is there going to be different levels of riding, like beginner, intermediate, advance, outlaw? or everyone just against everyone? Either way im gonna try and make it out to ride for sure!! totally stoked lol
|
Andy, you get my email too about the boat?
|
i assume there will be different skill levels.
|

Anybody been on Medicine lately? Can you launch a wake boat or is it too shallow?
|
Ive never been on it because ive always heard it was like hell getting a wakeboat in and out of that lake. Anyone know whats up? Its really close to my work so I would love to use it.
|
Sorry dude, no info. Lots of the lakes further south are low and full of weeds, but what else is new.
|
If it doesn't rain in June, I'm going to be pulling my boat out of Forest Lake before August.
|
I'm going to be in Minneapolis June 8, 9 & 10th. If anyone needs a third LMK.
|
i haven't been there, but Medicine has to be super low at the launch (unless the dug it out like Owasso.
|
Jay, <BR> <BR>Dude you got any interest in an Evening Sesh on Bald Eagle. We should use one of our rides as a chase boat. Then we are planning on pontoon and boozing till we all fall in the water.
|
Ninztel, I saw your boat getting pulled out last night...you throwing a new tower on that beast? You shoulda been riding man, that north end was buttttttta!!
|
Mississippi sure is warm now! Not too many boats out yet...
|
Nick, Yeah we rode on WBL. It was purdy Money. I pulled out to get the tower welded. But on my way Monster Called me and offered me a sponsorship! SCORE!!!!!!!!!!
|
So is the weather this weekend just going to SUCKKKKKKKK or what? What is going on with this cool start to summer? Frustrating. <BR> <BR>(Message edited by wakemikey on June 04, 2009)

Hey guys does anyone know around the Detroit lakes area if their having Wakefest 09? I believe its called that. We're thinking of crossing the boarder of states to hit up some Minnesota water and camping sometime.
|
Need a little help guys... <BR> <BR>After our wake session this evening I hit a rock and messed up my prop pretty bad. I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations on where to get them repaired. <BR> <BR>Thanks
|
Bummer Nick. I know the feeling! This is one that I know of: <BR><a href="http://www.propmd.com/t-contact.aspx" target="_blank">http://www.propmd.com/t-contact.aspx</a> <BR> <BR>You could also contact one of the local dealers (MWMC, MN Inboard, Forest Lake Power Sports) and they'll be able to help you out. They will most likely send it out to their "preferred shop".
|
when I dinged up my OJ I sent it straight to them. - their prices vary depending on severity
|
WHAT EVER YOU DO WITH YOUR PROP dont take it to the Prop Shop in Hudson. They repaired an OJ prop I had once and Effed it up so bad. I sent it back to OJ and they were amazed that this company destroyed the prop so bad. It looked good it but it wasnt true, it shook so bad it felt like my boat was coming apart. Send it to OJ they will hook you up.
|
Jay thanks for the hookup on PropMD.com they look legit. I will give them my buiness in the future and in a river I'm sure it won't be too long...
|
Thanks for all the help. I'm gonna give Prop MD and OJ a call soon. I have to work for the next week straight so it happened at the perfect time. <BR> <BR>Steer well clear of the 4 rock markers sticking out on the Northeast side of Bald Eagle...I was a good 100 yards away from the last one and got owned.
|
Nick Man I am sorry I should have warned you. YOu better much have to hug the opposite shore when you go through there, those rocks are nasty. There are 2 other bad spots. Down the shore from my Dock towards the ski course there is a Dock that Has a bright Lime Gree Supra on it, there are rocks about 150 yards off that dock. Down the other direction from my dock towards the lauch same shore line the second point has rock on it too maybe 100 yards off the shore.
|
Could anyone hook me up with some directions as to where that comp at forest lake is on sat
|
North on 35E. Take the Forest Lake Exit, take a right and you will literally dead end right in to the beach they are using for the comp. Park in the parking lot to the left of the turn about.
|
Ahh nice thanks bro!
|
the weather is looking CRAPPY for tomorrow! not sure i'm willing to pay $75 to ride in 48 deg temps w/ rain.
|
Anybody need fat sacks? I have 2 Launch pad 440's that were used for a season and a 680 with dual coolers new in box. Let me know!
|
you giving them away? if so i'd take 'em! if not, how much you asking?
|
I could always use more sacks! Same as Jay! How much? Free?
|
The price is FREE!!! I'll bring them with to Forest Lake tomorrow, I assume Jay will be there, not sure about Ryan. I'll let you two fight over who gets what!
|
the comp is postponed due to the weather. <BR>jake, i sent an email to the account listed in ur profile.
|
Anybody ride on the Mississippi up by Champlin/Anoka around the 169 exit? I have never rode on the river wondering what its like as far as traffic and other boaters etc.
|
Actually I've taken a couple props to to the place in Hudson and have never had a problem. One was the original stainless on my supra and the second was to repair my Acme 1235. Both were fixed perfectly so maybe OJ isn't their specialty? <BR> <BR>All of my props have been ruined on Owasso, and as luck would have it I got another ding on my 1235 Friday morning. Even though they dug out the launch be careful - the giant rock berm is still there......
|
Anyone planning a trip to KC Watersports this summer? I would be in for a road trip!
|
MK Mississippi is my home water. It is a great place to ride. There are some other inboards out there but not too many. The boat launch there is just fine. Stay south of the 169 bridge and the river is dredged to 10-14ft down to the dam. Above the 169 bridge it is natural and you need to know where the channel is. <BR> <BR>The water is much warmer and no weeds. Mostly sandy/rocky bottom. What are you driving? My 87 SunSport is in my profile I'm out every weekend, Tues and Thurs eve now too!! <BR> <BR>(Message edited by wakemikey on June 08, 2009)
|
Are there any food vendors at those events? <BR>Will there be this year or was there any last year?
|
Anybody road tripping it out for the Pro Wakeboard Tour stop in WI??? I think ive got a car full going.
|
How about the WORLD WAKESURF CHAMPIONSHIPS 3 day event coming soon to MNPLS area!
|
Is that for sure? I had read MPLS was a possibility, but have also read that the event has been postponed for 2009.
|
Yeah, just a possibility for 2010: <BR> <BR><a href="http://forums.wakeoutlaws.com/index.php?autocom=blog&blogid=12&showentry =459" target="_blank">http://forums.wakeoutlaws.com/index.php?autocom=blog&blogid=12&showentry =459</a>

I thought I heard somewhere it was almost a done deal...
|
anyone heading to the PWT this weekend - - anyone know of any camping spots that are available? Was just kicking around the idea about taking off early on Friday and heading down....
|
any details on the contest in hutch this weekend as listed at the top of the thred? anyone going? is it at the park on the river? and have they rescheduled the first one on forest lake?
|
Im going..i guess its on the river and jointed with the water carnival going on there....should be a good time..
|
I know back in the day the Hutch INT tourney was on the river, it was a pretty decent set up for viewing, I wanna say the water was a little shallow but its been so long I can't say that for sure.
|
Hey MN guys, <BR> <BR>Anyone know whats happend to Nisswa Marines Stock of Nautiques. I was on their site a little while ago and they had quite a few nautiques and a few supras and now they have nothing! I think i remember seeing an article in the paper where they were being sued by a financial companie but i didnt think they could get rid of their boats that fast.
|
I grew up in Hutchinson and the mighty Crow River is definitely shallow! It soo good to see a INT there though I can't tell ya. <BR> <BR>We will have one of our customer's boats in the boat parade. We'll see if he has the restraint to keep the system down for the old folks ;)
|
I remember the good ol' days of INT tourneys in Hutch. The river was so shallow that it caused a huge trough right before the wake. It launched me silly every time. Is it even deep enough right now? Seems like there's been a lack of rain.
|
Old INT tourneys in Hutch - I'm guessing there are quite a few of of us that remember that SHALLOW water, so shallow that you can stand in the middle of the river and have water at your chest.... I also remember riding behind a horrible Moomba there back in the day...
|
Enjoyed the warm day yesterday. Thought I'd post a pic:<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/709776.jpg" alt="Upload">
|
Cool Shot-
|
Dude that pic makes me want to go ride right NOW!!! <BR> <BR>Word on the street is that Nisswa has filed for chapter 11. They are still open for business as far as I know but not sure if they still have the CC line. Best bet is to give them a call and get the skinny straight from them.
|
I'm looking for a pull tomorrow anywhere in the Metro area in the afternoon. I'll have all my stuff and some gas money. 651 587 7433
|
NICK YOUR BACK!!!!!!!!!!!! DUDE I WILL HOOK YOU UPO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What time do you usually get out on the water? I would love to check out Bald Eagle again.
|
What's u fellow minnesota'n. Bald eagle is saweet, I go there all the time. It is real shallow by the ski jump right now.
|

|
Kris, what kind of boat do you have? I'm sure I've seen you out there...
|
Im hitting Prior Lake tomorrow. Anyone gonna be out? Im down to give anyone a pull.
|
Hey Warhol, were you out on the boat with me for the clinic with Ben Greenwood last year? For some reason your name sounds familar...
|
Nope, I was out of town last year for that clinic. Can't imagine there would be any other Warhol's that I'm unaware of shredding these days, haha.
|
Nintzel, when are you putting the Monster Tower on? We just missed you on friday...You were emptying the sacs when we were filling up. The lake was sooooo money!!
|
Sorry Kris, I already gave them away.
|
I'm heading to Lake Lida around the 4th and looking for a pull? I can help with gas, food, cleanup, driving and whatever. If there is anyone near that wants to shred let me know! <BR>peaaccceee
|
Nick, <BR> <BR>I hope to get the tower on later this week. Bald Eagle was SO Sick on Friday, I hit the H20 at 7am that day...
