p.s. <BR> <BR> <BR>I LIVE for this s--it!

Then don't rip your arm off at the shoulder on the first day this time.

Snow flurries in Passaic today, uhhh is it Spring???

HAHA Alex. <BR>Zuka, your enthusiasm never ceases to amaze me! <BR> <BR>Haven't posted in a while so here goes. Things are well here. boat is being worked on as I get time. If you don't follow the wakeboardNJ riders blog (shame on you) then you probably don't know I pulled the motor out of my boat to fix a leaky oil pan. Many hours later all was back in, but I still had to reassemble everything else. It's been a lot of work, but will be worth saving the ludicrous amount of money that most wanted for the job. <BR> <BR>I personally am looking forward to warmer weather...Al Gore is BS (although I have always thought this anyway). <BR> <BR>What's up Brian! <BR> <BR>(Message edited by wakescene on April 08, 2009)

Johan, I'll be in before then. Make sure you hit me up for a pull when you're in the area. <BR> <BR>(Message edited by njskier on April 08, 2009)

hey Alex any word or rough guess on when NJ wakefest will go down this yr.?

Mr. Johan Kampfraat, Pay attention...! 64 Baby!

Sure brother. Saturday June 13. Email me your mailing address and I'll send you a flier. If you're on <BR>facebook I have Wakefest listed there as an event. And I had the Nautique dewinterized last weekend and <BR>it's now totally wakeboard season ready. So if you're up for tangling with The Super Air's wake while rocking-out <BR>to some really loud music of your choice, hit me up when you're in town. And maybe we'll gather the crew for <BR>a Johan party! <BR> <BR><a href="http://www.njwakefest.com" target="_blank">www.njwakefest.com</a>

Question? Is the SAN's wake UP to the task?

haha i went to the website after i asked that ? feel kinda like a dumbass! Alex im always down to party <IMG SRC="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":-)" BORDER=0> ill be in the dirty may 1 - 10.

Rob, those fluries were just the last of old Mr Winter trying to blow his last breath! <BR>Spring is here. You'll be in the water soon enough. Don't forget you'll have to get your crew down to Bordentown and ride with us. <BR> <BR>Hey Johan! Hope all is well.... <BR> <BR>Doreen <BR>njwakefest.com <BR> <BR>(Message edited by njladydriver on April 11, 2009)

Ha, yeah Doreen, boats all ready to go. Well be down for wakefest and hopefully a few other times. See you guys soon. Sat is suppose to be 70 in Brick, we'll have to see.

We can't wait for Wakefest this year! The first mailing has gone out and the posters for the event will be printed next week hopefully. <BR> <BR>We're going to try this weekend for some riding. This is when the guys dry suits come in handy! <IMG SRC="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":-)" BORDER=0>

yeah i think we are gonna try the same, only 3 mm suits for us though, brrrr. we'll see what happens

Anyone going to be on the water this weekend? <BR>Weather is going to be beautiful.

Where do you guys wakeboard in Jersey? Anywhere near Phily? I just moved to Phily from MI and I'm looking for a place to wakeboard this summer.

Hey everyone, just checking in! It seems like some excitement is shuffling through everyones bones and there's a lot of angst about getting out for the first ride. It's great to see! <BR> <BR>Just wanted to shout out to everyone. I see Zuka is counting down as usual (love it), Johan is checking in from Cali (glad to hear from you man, we miss ya) and everyone else is doing well. <BR> <BR> <BR>Jeff, a large majority of people on this thread board on the Delaware River out of Bordentown. Some people even ride the Schuykill, and Jeff Barton rides a lot up on the Rancocas Creek; he owns the Wake Academy. Other are sort of scattered throughout the state; Avalon and the shore areas up and down the east coast of NJ. There's always a place and crew to ride with pretty much. Welcome to the tri-state area! <BR> <BR>Don't miss out on Wakefest 2009, held in Bordentown on June 13th!

57 and counting.... 70*'s tomorrow here in MA. Bring it on!<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/smile.gif" border=0>

The water's still a little on the <i>cold</i> side, but the weather's going to be beautiful, so we're going out <BR>tomorrow (Saturday April 18) for the first runs of 2009. Anyone else going to be out on the river?

Nice graphics Alex... Just got the "Forth Annual" invite. Amazing<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/yawn.gif" border=0>, We can go "20"<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/smile.gif" border=0>

YUP

Splashed the boat for the first time yesterday. <BR>Myself, Joe, Ryan and Woody all took a few sets, Ryan was daring enough to trunk it! 52 degree water.....brrrrr! <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/1/688326.jpg" alt="Upload">

Here's a few of our 1st day today. Water temp didn't rise above 52. Alex full suited, JB did the long sleeve spring, and Michele and I took in the great warm sun. Just as JB took to the water, the battery on the Nikon died! <BR>More pictures were posted to the blog. <BR><a href="http://wakeboardnj.com/ridersblog.htm" target="_blank">http://wakeboardnj.com/ridersblog.htm</a> <BR> <BR>Enjoy <BR> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/1/688399.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/1/688400.jpg" alt="Upload"> <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/1/688401.jpg" alt="Upload">

Shout out to Alex and the whole crew for taking me out yesterday. Don't know a better way to spend an 85 degree April day. Anyone ever in my area looking for a pull I'd be happy to return the favor. Take care everyone.

Awesome weather we're having lately! <BR>Saturday 9 of us hit the river in the X-star, then today 4 of us had some sessions behind Joe's X-2 (thanks Joe) <BR>Didn't even need the neoprene today. <IMG SRC="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":-)" BORDER=0> <BR>Here's Joe behind his own boat (nice wake) <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/1/690876.jpg" alt="Upload">

I'm kinda hatin' weather.com right about now. It was calling for rain over-night, straight through 'til <BR>Saturday morning. Based on that, I cancelled today's traditional pre-Drinko wakeboarding sesh. Of course, <BR>It's now Saturday morning and it's sunny and dry. Oh well.

so whos going out today cause il be wakeskating around my dock in florence if anyone wants to stop by

Happy Mother's day Ladies! <BR>Beautiful day but very windy up here today. <BR>See ya'll soon<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/smile.gif" border=0>

Not alot of posts...where is everyone?

You always know where I am cup cake. <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/wink.gif" border=0> <BR> <BR>Wow! Wakefest is now officially one month away. I see this Wakefest being very much like last year, except <BR>the tide won't be quite a friendly. T-shirts are in the works, but nothing's finalized yet. <BR>Has everyone contacted Doreen for posters?

Alrite so ive been tryin g to get money to come to wakefest but i just cant get it so im sad to say i won't be attending this year! i know sad, and i was just there last week and the weather was Crap! all week Rain Rain and more Rain! <BR> <BR>How is everyone besides all the bad weather, Cali is sunny

I wish I was in Cali now! You will be missed at wakefest Johan... <BR>We'll have the new Hyperlite Team Video premiere "Rewritten" at this years wakefest, compliments of Hyperlite for the after party at Chickie's &amp; Pete's.

As a small point of clarification, that last post of mine was actually posted by Doreen, who accidently posted <BR>as me. <BR> <BR>Hey! It's the big Memorial Day Weekend coming up! Anyone got any big plans?

House hunting &amp; Beer drinking... <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/wink.gif" border=0> <BR>Nothing new here.

BTW, 21 and it's on ;)

21 days? Sheesh. I should probably get the t-shirt order in, huh? <BR>Jeff Z, you and Sarah were going to head to 60 Sylvia for some adult beverages, but instead you decided to <BR>tear your arm off. If you manage to stay in one piece this year, the invitation is still in force brother. And if you <BR>decided to just stay local in the Bordentown area Friday night, I know several good people who will be doing the same. <BR>Perhaps you can all have your own little pre-Wakefest soirée.

anyone riding tomorrow

Alex, <BR>52 mile drive back to Bordentown, <BR>I think I can make it for a drink or two!

We had a beutiful day on water yesterday! Hardley any boats where we were riding which made for great flat water. <BR>Here's a few pics of the riders before heading in to meet up with the rest of the crew for the 1st BBQ of the season. <BR> <BR>Anyone else ride and how was it? <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR>(Message edited by njladydriver on May 24, 2009)

anyone boarding at Boardentown/florence Monday?

I took my daughter Brittany, Chris B, Ken and his girlfriend Kelly out this morning for some Memorial Day butter. We launched out of Florence at 8:15 and had great water up until we pulled out at 1:15. We all got 3 sets in each before calling it a day. I trunked it and the water was gorgeous.

Hello friends: <BR>Wakefest is right around the corner. I just ordered the shirts! Ryan San Bar is bringing the slider and <BR>winch again, Red Bull is toally on-board with the tent, wave runner, girls, sponsorship of the after-party and <BR>a Wake Lab video premiere. There will also be a premiere of the new Hyperlite team video Rewritten. <BR>Of course JB, representing The Wake Academy, will be there, but this year he may put his boat in the water <BR>and give some pulls! How cool is that?! It's going to be another great day for New Jersey wakeboarding! <BR> <BR><a href="http://www.njwakefest.com" target="_blank">www.njwakefest.com</a> <BR> <BR>(Message edited by nj_alex on May 27, 2009)

Does anyone ride on the coast of Central Jersey (Ocean County) , or near Long Beach Island? My boat is not in the water yet, and when it is (its a 27' searay) it is not always fun to ride behind it.

Hey David: I have a house in Manahawkin and I <u>used to</u> wakeboard all the time in Turtle Cove in Manahawkin Bay. <BR>While I still have the house in Manahawkin, I now tow to The Delaware River every weekend to ride. While I'm not out <BR>there any more, I <i>know</i> there are still people tearing-up Turtle Cove. Maybe try going into Island Surf &amp; Sail <BR>in Brant Beach, ask for Terry and pick his brain a little bit about hooking-up with some local riders. You can <BR>tell him I sent you, but he'll just laugh! And of course, you should come to Wakefest in a couple weeks. It's a great <BR>place to meet riders from all over our area. <BR> <BR><a href="http://www.njwakefest.com" target="_blank">www.njwakefest.com</a> <BR><a href="http://www.islandsurf-sail.com" target="_blank">www.islandsurf-sail.com</a>

Hey I ride in Huntington Bay Long Island, and looking for people to ride on my boat.I'd be glad to jump on another boat as well. I've got a 21' mariah bowrider which throws a nice wake Anyone in the area, please reply or call Eric @631-748-7882, thanks

Beth and I took Ken and Bill out yesterday afternoon for some Friday Butter. The water was so still and flat that the pollen was laying on top of the water like little snow flakes. We rode till about 6pm when the rain started then Beth and I went to Chickie and Petes and eat so much food.

Eric I'm from northport, sent you a pm. <BR> <BR>Just checking in, looking forward to wakefest this year. What hotel are people staying in?
