Jeff was kind enough (thanks again) to invite me out for set in-between the rain storms, the water wasn't the greatest, the wake was as big as ever! We hooked up with Joe Umali, Frankie, Big Ed, and Ant Bug. Joe was going big and smooth as usual, Ed and Ant both had good rides, Jeff got rained on and his run was cut short, and Frankie was there to keep from being a total sausage fest. <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/lol.gif" border=0> It must have been Wake World day on Elsinore because, we also met up with Troy Lindstrom, Erica Burk, Ryan (the $50.00 kid), and it was good to finally meet ClubMyke, and Kevin Pothier. Anyways we took a bunch of pictures, so check them out. <BR> <BR>Our beautiful water. <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/213090.jpg" alt="Our Beautiful water"> <BR>Trying to make it through the my endurance run. <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/213091.jpg" alt="Look at that butter!"> <BR>Frankie <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/65919/213092.jpg" alt="Frankie">

Great to see everyone out there yesterday. Wish the weather would have cooperated better, but fun was still had by all. Great pics of you guys tearing it up!!! <BR>I have to give huge props to clubmike.He is 100% commited.. Even when the rain rolled in about 12 or so Mike wanted to still ride until we were all dead tired. WE STAYED TILL 4 pm!!! IN THE RAIN!!!<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/rofl.gif" border=0> <BR>P.S. hey Troy,thats the greatest pic of Joe I have ever seen!!!! <BR> <BR>(Message edited by big x-star on February 21, 2005)

We were talking about going and as i was uncovering the boat it started raining again. O well cover back on, And back to Finding Nemo! U guys look like you had a BLAST!

Harry - To be honest, I couldn't really feel the board out due to the water conditions. I need to get the board in some smooth water before I can really feel it out and give it a honest review.

Ask Troy about it. He went from a TFD to the 3DS.

Frew ~ thanks for the pull. Your 210 is one sick boat. The wake is just incredible. <BR> <BR>Shawn ~ it was nice to finally meet you. Thanks for posting the pics. The Fashion air's look great. <BR> <BR>Troy ~ that is some funny shizzle. When I wear my dry suit no one says that, but what Joe puts it on... watch out Luke Skywalker<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/biggrin.gif" border=0> <BR> <BR>(Message edited by antbug on February 22, 2005)

rain ??? what rain ??? it wasnt that bad ( on and off a little) <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/rofl.gif" border=0> it was great to see some friendly faces and some good riding !! (i do need to put the bimini back on the boat for days like this) <BR> <BR>props to kevin &amp; blake for the double ride (really funny) <BR> <BR>props to antbug &amp; ed for the binding lube !!! <BR> <BR>props to steve for having a b-day and celebrating afterwards <BR> <BR>troy - thanks again and that is a really funny pic of joe "aka skywalker" <BR> <BR>it was great to see frew again and to meet shawn. <BR> <BR>hopefully we'll get some sun very soon or at least some decent weather. <BR>

bug, can i wear the drysuit for halloween? clipart{lol}

Man, it is so cool to just be hanging out and riding with your friends, and run into friends on other boats (the only other boats) out there. Joe - hows the ribs? Not the greatest conditions (a little breezy, a bit of wind chop), but a hell of a lot of fun. Not worried at all about my pass, the knee is working well, still adjusting to the new board, don't want to risk injury in that slop before my trip. <BR> <BR>Had an awesome time, Shawn, AntBug, Big Ed, Joe &amp; Frankie were a freaking riot! Thanks for the RedBull, AB! Great to see Troy, Erica, Ryan, Mike, Kevin, Blake, and all out there. Hope we all can get together again after we get back from FL, maybe the backwater will be open!

Thanks Captain for the pull!It was definetly a fun filled day.I'm definetly feeling the love.It was great seeing everybody. <BR> <BR>My riding really sucked and now I'm convinced after seeing the pics but my excuse is the weather and Jeff's humongus wake....That thing scared me.lol<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/rofl.gif" border=0>Definetly sweet boat!!

Good work Shawn, we rode up here at Lopez on Sunday as well! 5 hour window of no rain &amp; we hit it perfectly. Butter &amp; no wind, it was sick!! First ride since early December &amp; it went well (almost stuck a tantrum to switch). Hooray for Frew! You're my hero Frewski!!!
