Yea I met george and his girl at Iso's at a few times. Shorter guy who sucks at cornhole if I recall. Think he said he has a centurion. Actually going out with all of them tonight for some beers while the hens cluck

haha yeah, george has a falcon v. Small world man.

hope u guys dont forget about me since i dont have facebook, dont forget about the guy that started the thread, lol

we'll continue with this thread and email as well!

you should create a fake-ish facebook profile. Just use a fake name and don't put in any personal information that you don't want anyone to know.

hey Mike, PM isn't working for me for some reason, but shoot me an e-mail at "asoute98@yahoo.com" and I'll keep you posted when we're going out next spring and all of that good stuff

also...Charlotte area wakeboarding on Facebook has about 300 friends, good place to catch some rides / demos

Damn and here I thought we were doing good at 11 people lol

Anyone still riding? was out on Norman today...quite a few boats running around, so had to find a nice cove

not me, hexagon is open this weekend but i don't have in me to brave it in a 3/2

I think I may be the only one with a drysuit in this state! Of course I just moved from WI.

haha, yeah i haven't had it in me to go that far... they're pricey too lol. i'm gearing up for some winter weather to get some weekends of snowboarding in to fill the gap here. got a trip to colorado planned in february, plus the usual local stuff around here.

Looking for a pull on Norman
 

Hey anyone on Lake Norman or Mountain Island still riding and need a third? (Or 4th ...) Just moved onto the lake and looking for some pulls while I find my new boat! Been riding for 15 years or so, I'll hook you up some gas and boat maintenance and give you some good pulls too! Today water was 63 and butter so I'm jonesin pretty bad! 913 908-8081 is my phone!

I'm in Raleigh and ride at Falls/Barton's Creek as often as I can. Most of my friends are intermediate boarding, surfing and slalom. I'm addicted to all three. Look forward to meeting some new people and progressing next year. I'm definitely down for some early Saturdays at Falls and maybe a camping weekend (maybe coordinate when Overton's is doing a demo).

I usually kick off the season with Wake N Flake. It's a good time and a good cause. Here's a link. http://www.wakenflake.com/

hey guys and Mike, I live right around the corner from Harris Lake and am there all the time on weekends and after work. I have 01 Air Nautique we load down with fat sacs. I ride a Slingshot and Liquid Force. Always looking for more people to ride with and share taking out boats. Im putting my boat up for sale beginning of season to get a super air as well.

what color is your nautique, prob seen u out there in passing over the summer, mine is the black and white nautique with the rediculously loud stereo system, i posted another thread with pics of it in the boats/tow vehicles forum, ill prob have a new g23 or tige next time i hit harris though, been trying to decide between the two, yes i know the g23 is bigger, better, etc, but i also like the rz2, hopefully i can decide soon

She's lying, she actually has a 1994 bass Ranger outboard that we ride around in while listening to an iphone. On top of that her bass boat loved to eat cameras which can really ruin your day as well.

Lol, that's just wrong

bwahahahaha....dont hate on my bass boat that i hook my walkman up to a bullhorn...you enjoyed every bit of it! As far as the camera, thats how I make a living, you lose your stuff on my boat and I sell it on craigslist...hahaaa....

Chris, you on way to Utah?

I cant wait to Spring,,,,so ready to up my game behind the boat!

Just got back, 10" the day before alta, 16" the night before brighton, it was great. I even crossed over to the dark side and tried out a snowboard on the last day. I've also realized that on both snow and water rails are still the devil and the bane of my existence.

Hope we can get a bunch together for http://wakenflake.com ! It is Saturday March 2nd. Last year we had 83 boarders. This year will likely top 100 with additional dealers involved plus 2 cableparks (Hexagon & Jibtopia) This is our yearly fundraiser for http://waketheworld.org

What would be a good lake to do a houseboat trip on? I'm wanting to throw something together late April or so (depending on weather) and I'm trying to find a good lake for riding as well as renting a houseboat. Anyone have any good/bad experiences?

If that one guy chooses a Tige over a G23 Sumone up there please slap him!
J/K, but for real though!!!!

Smith Mountain Lake, VA is great for house boating and riding. The water might be a little chilly in late April, but less boat traffic to deal with. We rented from Parrott Cove two years ago and had a great time. I try to get up there a few times a year...

Thanks for the info Adam

Hey guys planning a meet n great at falls in raleigh on july 6th. Hit me up for details or https://www.facebook.com/events/612312798788329/

Lake Norman Here. New to the area so still just trying not to get lost

Hey William,

Sounds like fun but don't really know my way around Falls Lake. Where is Redneck Cove?

http://i1304.photobucket.com/albums/...psf5339f03.png

Here is a map. When you come out of Barton's you will take a right at the only building on the lake. There is an island right there. Make sure you stay to the left side of the island if you like your prop.

Sounds good. Going to start around noon?

Yea I figure we'll go get some morning sets in early early and then retire around noon or whenever I see the first tube/jet ski

Morning sets and afternoon beers is a home run

I live on lake norman just moved here a year ago. I have a new blacked out Supra SA say whats up if you ever see us out on the lake ;)

Mooresvile/Denver on Lake Norman. Always looking for people to ride with. I have a Xstar and a couple others in my group have a varitey of Malibus. We try to go 2x to 3x a week. So give a shout if youre in the area.

Any of you guys heading up to Gaston for the Big Air contest Saturday?

new to charlotte. havent ridden this year. i plan to ride on wylie or MIL.

We are in Asheboro and ride Tuckertown & Badin mostly.

Thanks for all who came out. Great turnout and will def have to do it again.

I live in Asheville, NC. Will be riding some around Lake Norman, and anywhere else I can.

Just moved to Charlotte from Austin, TX. Hitting Lake Wylie today! Found a storage place for my Nautique real close to the lake in Tega Cay. Always have room for extra riders!

Check out Lake Norman tomorrow. There's an INT event going on at 643 Williamson Rd., Mooresville, NC 28117

http://www.intleague.com/northcarolina/

Adam, haven't made it to Wylie with the boat yet, but might in the next few weekends. Shoot me your info and we can meet up.

Just found this thread. Weather tomorrow looks crappy but wife and I might head up and check it out. We're in Charlotte and ride Wylie.

Just found this thread as well. From Greensboro, N.C. here! We typically go to Badin, Hyco, or Belews (Belews for real short rides during the week). I am always down to meet up and ride with a crew though! Recently Purchased an Axis A22 so I am trying to get all the riding in I can before the seasons over!

Congrats on the new boat Derek!

How'd the event go today? Weathermen are morons. It was sunny and got as hell. Didn't make it up, had family leave mid afternoon for their return trip north.

Is anyone interested in trying to plan a big ride or get together on a lake for an upcoming weekend or Labor Day weekend? Thank you, Chirs, went from an 01 Moomba Outback LS to this 2013 Axis and I freaking love it!

What region? Would be down to do something in the Raleigh area but not labor day weekend.

I live on Wylie. Would love to meet up and ride some days. Tore my meniscus hitting the double up a few weeks back so I'm out for a bit. :(

Ask and ye shall receive it seems...

Looks like some folks are going to be out on Falls this Saturday and Harris Sunday. Falls is a little bit tougher to meet everyone if the water is decent and people are riding all day, but if it gets busy/choppy I'm sure everyone will catch up and hang out for the afternoon.

Harris is pretty small for the riding area so if you head out your bound to see/meet everyone else.

Facebook event is up but it's closed right now, I asked the creator to make it open and I'll post a link when she does. That will be the easiest way to talk with everyone that will be out.

Give this a shot, I think anyone can join the event now:

https://www.facebook.com/events/643359029021324/

Which ever lake is fine with me. I live in Greensboro but I have no problem commuting to Wylie, Falls, Hyco, Norman, or anywhere else for that matter. As Far as the Facebook goes, that link didn't take me to the event, just my events page.

I'm always looking to meet some folks at Wylie. I'd actually like to find a place to camp on a lake with the boat.

hey Chris we'll prob be out saturday depending on water and if we go on a hyco trip. If you come out can you bring the girls vest? I'm not sure how 3 chicks who rode in 1 boat had the same vest. Blowing my mind

Derek, not sure why the link isn't working. The event is called "Falls and Harris wakeboard/surf weekend " so you may be able to search for it and join as well.

Cory, sure thing. Katherine has it right now and mentioned that the sizes got mixed up. I'll try to snag it from her before she heads out of town this weekend and have it on hand Saturday.

Lake Norman rider here. Usually ride in a cove just east of Brawley School Rd. 2001 Malibu 23LSV (red/black). Stop by and shout a hello if anyone happens to be in the area.

I know you can camp at McDowell Nature Preserve. Don't think you can leave the boat in the water there though.

McDowell nature preserve is like 2 miles from my house, kind of looking for something a little further away. Going to look at Lake Murray in Columbia.

haha same, I live in the village at lake wylie

Did anyone meet up or did weather force everyone to cancel? Didn't c any pics from any meets

I can't find any of the good pictures on Facebook right now but we were out Saturday as well as Thomas up on Falls. Had some riding in the rain (but the water was glass) and some side by side riding which made for a great time. Sunday was down at Harris with 4 boats and pretty great weather.

A few folks will be up on Falls friday evening/night, hopefully after the traffic dies down. Then camping out and riding first thing in the morning on Saturday. Should be a great time!

I'm desperate to find somebody to come ride on Thursday nights after work my crew has all but disappeared. I ride at Oak Hollow lake in High Point NC, its the prefect lake to wakeboard on because they don't allow jet ski's or tubing so the water is always glass. But they require 3 people to ski so with just me and my wife its not enough. Hit me up if you want to ride.

Derek it shouldn't be to far for you.

anyone planning anything for spring when it arrives, I definitely haven't seen or met any riders in Fayetteville or hope mills area that I live though it seems like this thread got a good response from other parts of nc when I originally started it.

We ditched you and started a facebook group. Remember? LOL Sorry. A lot of active members there have been hanging out on Fall Lake. Make a facebook account (even if it's fake and just has the name Mike NC) and post up over there. Come out on Falls and have a good time. Wake08 above comes out all the time and he's down at Fort Bragg too I think.

I'll definitely be planning a meetup on Falls Lake as soon as the water warms up.

Def need another meetup. Falls is sitting at like 40 degrees so I'm skeptical of when this crap is gonna break. Could always do a hyco trip when the air temps decide to get above bone chilling

Rode yesterday in a dry suit :) lol

I'm going to ignore that since I received no call, text, telegram, carrier pigeon, fb message, ww message, or short wave radio message as an invite. But seriously that sounds brutal

Also anyone in raleigh area know a good aluminum welder? Have a tower with set screws that I'm particularly sick of messing with and want to weld up

What's that, we're on a Tom boycott now? I'm all for it! Enduring the cold in a dry suit would definitely be worth it to get a little riding in before it finally warms up. How's the new ride treating you anyways?

Mike rides at Jordan for the most part last I remember chatting with him, I could never convince him to come up to falls and join the party. Maybe with a little more peer pressure he'll give it a shot.

Cory - I've got a buddy that does some welding in his spare time, I know he welded up a trailer really well for hauling his bikes long distances (custom bike stands, shelving...it's impressive). I'll check with him with what he can do and get back to you in a few days.

Lol the drysuiit days are still few and far between. Long story with why Alison and I didn't invite anyone else. Ask her. First time on new boat as the owner. Did great!

That'd be awesome. Other problem is trying to find someone mobile. Not sure if the tower is gonna fit in the back of the truck to transport it. Gonna look into it though

Congrats. Would love to check it out sometime. We were supposed to be boat shopping now but can't get people out of my pockets for the wedding. I won't get into you and Alisons reasons. Thats between you, alison, and your wife jk

who got a new boat? u or Alison? post a pic of the boat and yall riding, surely yall took a couple pics

Tom got one. Pretty boat.

what is it? axis?

http://i287.photobucket.com/albums/l...psritb3zoe.jpg

My new boat, no pics from riding that day!

no artic pictures from the tundra? come on man, seriously? surely someones smartphone got a few

HAHA, not even going to go there on your last sentence.

F the wedding. Let's demo some boats! Make sure you get out to the boat show!

I'll get some another day. Trying to manage helping someone learn, drive and obsess over new boat was too much for me lol

oh $h!t she pulled u and was a new driver too and your new boat?????? if so u r a brave soul or just reckless one, lol, damn

she's not a new driver (has a boat of her own), but she needed help when she was wakeboarding.
