Hi Tony!! Canyon Lake Resort Inn, 31820 Railroad Canyon Rd Canyon Lake (909)244-1164 <BR>I contacted Nick Patel and he has offered a 10% discount to people coming in for the tournament. I have seen the rooms since the remodel (ask Tom and Derek Conway) and they are fine. Normal price for a king room is $59.00 so take your !0% off of that. It is right next to a resturaunt and Canyon Lake Market, so you are in walking distance of food and drink. HTH!! robyn

Perfect. Thanks so much. There will be 4 or 5 of us that are going to ride. We figured we would take the chance to see what the famous Canyon Lake is all about. Shoud be fun.

i'll be there.

I'll be there of course. But I'm still not sure if I can ride. <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/sad.gif" border=0> If I do ride not sure I'll do any good since its been about 6 or 7 weeks.

Wow Tony that's a long trip. Hopefully we can show you a good time. <BR> <BR>Robyn, I will be there in the morning, probably have to leave by noon.

I'll be in the hizzle fo shizzle nizzle.

I am sure we will have a great time. How do the divisions work? We are 1-14 2-15 and 1-16 3 of us are just doing grabs and working on our first invert and then 1 of us can doabout 6 different inverts. So what class does that put us in?

Tony this is from our club site: <BR> <BR><i>Canyon Lake Wakeboard Club Tournament Format <BR> <BR>2004 will include 3 divisions for those just beginning, those riding to gain skills and confidence, and those who just want to have fun. The Jr Novice and Novice divisions will be awarded prizes for 1st thru 3rd place and 1st place trophies will be awarded to the winners. They will not compete in a series. <BR> <BR>The series divisions will include the Boys/Girls division (age 13 &amp; under), Jr Men's (14-19), Men's (20-29), Masters (30-39), Women's (all ages), Veterans (40 &amp; over), and Open (all ages). Prizes will be awarded, along with trophies to all 1st place winners. Points will be awarded in all of these divisions for the overall series championship. <BR> <BR>Fees will be $20 for Club members, $30 for non members. You must be a member of WWA, or you can purchase daily membership for $15, or yearly for $30 or $45 ($45 membership includes WWA t-shirt, etc). </i> <BR> <BR> <BR>I think the 3 of you will be in Jr. Novice and the 1 doing the 6 inverts will be in Jr. Men.

Richard, what's the Masters' division look like? Is it stacked? How many inverts and/or 3s are people doing in the division? And most importantly, in the Masters' division, are there any sandbaggers?

What are you scared of Joe? Just get out there and ride. I've seen your videos, you'll probably be in the top three. So what do you have to lose?

ditto.

Shawn, well, it depends on 1 thing. Will they give me a 10 minute warm up run right before my tourney passes? <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/lol.gif" border=0> <BR> <BR>Thanks for the vote of confidence, but most of the guys in my vids aren't even me! <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/biggrin.gif" border=0> <BR>

Just pretend your comp run is your tournament run. That's what I did last time.

Are you gonna be there, Thane?

joe - you not speak jive? <IMG SRC="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":-)" BORDER=0> <BR> <BR><blockquote><hr size=0><!-quote-!><font size=1><b>quote:</b></font><p>By Thane Dogg (thane_dogg) on Monday, May 03, 2004 - 9:44 am: <BR> <BR>I'll be in the hizzle fo shizzle nizzle.<!-/quote-!><hr size=0></blockquote> <BR> <BR>if you get there early in the morning (at the 7:30a start time), that's when you'll get a practice run. practice usually goes until about 9:30a, then the comp runs start.

Sorry Christopher...I was too lazy to read above. <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/wink.gif" border=0>

Joe, <BR> <BR>Now that Fred Escalera is in Vets, Masters is kinda wide open (no offense to any of the masters). The deal is that the biggest competition in Masters is Aaron Davis and maybe Christopher Stack. Aaron has multiple inverts. The rest of the class is somewhere between 1 and 2 inverts (more towards the 1 than the 2). From what I can remember I believe you have at least two inverts (tantrum and a back roll)? I say show up, step up, and have some fun. <BR> <BR>BTW: Myself and a few others probably would like to put a face to your name. I should be easy to find, just look for the guy Jeff is working the hardest. <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/happy.gif" border=0>

Stack would kill me! Oh well...tourneys are always fun! <BR> <BR>Hey, here's a thought. I judged INT tourneys in Central Cal for 2 years. If you guys need help judging Intermediate on up to Outlaw, let me know. <BR> <BR>Or... <BR> <BR>I can film some of the riders and make a vid for Canyon Lake Wakeboard Club? (no charge, of course...'cept a free sticker here and there) <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/proud.gif" border=0>

What part of Central Cal, Joe? My family lives on Nacimeinto and the rest are in Paso Robles.

Sac &amp; Fresno. To INT, Central Cali = Sac, SF, Stockton, Fresno, etc. Northern Cali = Redding, Shasta, Yreka, etc. Technically, they're right.

its my understanding they're always looking for help with the judging. im sure they'd welcome the help. <BR> <BR>but you should definitely come down joe. don't worry - i ride like crap in the comps for some reason. <IMG SRC="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":-)" BORDER=0>

Hey Joe, that would be AWESOME! I too can't wait to put a face to the name. I am sure that Jeff will love to hear that we have another judge in the family!! And the movie sounds awesome! It's gonna be a great weekend! And we typically do a Pepes dinner afterward so if anybody is interested in going, just let me know!! hugs, robyn

Shawn, you need to get going and ride. You don't have to ride like a pro, just get a good warm-up and start moving thoughs muscles again. <BR> <BR>Love, Mom

Are the practice runs free? I hate to sound cheap, but the tourney sounds expensive already. Maybe I need to line up some sponsors. <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/lol.gif" border=0>

Too bad that I won't be making it out, jacked up my knee real good this time. Probably a good thing though, at least for everyone else, cause I'd walk away with 1st. Kidding, good luck to everyone, with any luck I'll be seeing you toward the end of the season. <BR> <BR>Brandon <BR><a href="http://www.westsidewakeboard.com" target="_blank">www.westsidewakeboard.com</a> <BR>Westside Wakeboard School

joe - yep. practice runs are built-in. <BR> <BR>brandon - damn man, sorry to hear that. hope that doesn't affect your school. what'd ya do to it? is this a surgery out-for-half-a-year thang?

What's up my brothas? <BR> <BR>I'm gonna roll down to the CLC on saturday to check out the comp. I look forward to meeting folks I have only spoken with in the past. <BR> <BR>I'll be the big bald ugly dude (some might say I look like Steven Segal <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/lol.gif" border=0>) with the brace on his right leg.

sweet! it'll be good to cya!

Sean, it will be good to finally meet you and thank you in person. <BR> <BR>Brandon, why don't you just come down and hang out out with us, have some fun, Henry can always use some help on the mic!! (not saying he doesn't do a GREAT job!!) LOL! <BR> <BR>Joe, it just gets pricey the first contest you ride in, if you arn't already in WWA and the club, but think of it this way, creative tax write off! After that it's only 20.00 to ride, cheap for a great day of fun in the sun!<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/rofl.gif" border=0> <BR>Christopher, as always it will be nice to have you! <BR>

I won't be able to make this one, cuz I'll be drunk and down a bunch of money in Vegas. However, I'll try to make it to the next one.

WE got a room and we are are going to be there. I think it will be great to see the faces of all the names we see on here.

Joe, <BR> <BR>To answer your question way above. I do not think the masters is full of sandbaggers. There are some great riders though, I think you would fit right in.

Chris--just got back from the ortho, turns out I tore my MCL and part of me ACL, so a scope is in the works. With any luck they can fix it all then and not have to slice me open. Should be a speedy rehab from the scope as well. As far as the school goes, had lessons this morning and went it great, I just can't actually get on the board. <BR> <BR>TeamValdez-- I would love to make it down but that would be a looooong drive just to hang out. With any luck I'll be tearing it up at the Sept. <BR>tourney. <BR> <BR>www.westsidewakeboard.com <BR>Westside Wakeboard School <BR> <BR>(Message edited by BBR on May 04, 2004)

Hey Robin, can I send a sandbagger out for this??????????

Hey doug, what would be do put Ryan in the novice division? He would do just fine!! LOL!! NAH, that boy would be in open fo shizzle! (don't forget the CASH prizes!!) Put that boy on a plane today!! <BR>(For those who don't know Ryan Anderson, he is a major Oklahoma ripper who took 3rd in the boys division behind Tadpole (oh, alright Robert) and the awesome Reed Hanson. Watch for Ryan on the podium this year at all the VTC's. Oh yea, and the July Wakesports contest... YAY!!! <BR> <BR>Brandon, we will see you in Sept hurry and get better! <BR> <BR>(Message edited by teamvaldez on May 05, 2004)

Hell, I guess I'll be there too! <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/smile.gif" border=0> <BR> <BR>Sorry to hear about the knee injury, Brandon. Anyone check the Chinese calendar? Might be the year of the Orthopedic Surgeon. <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/crazy.gif" border=0> <BR> <BR>Joe, you might want to bring your camcorder, some funny shizzle always happening <BR> <BR>Sean J! Glad to hear you're gonna make an appearance! Hope the recovery is going well. <BR> <BR>(Message edited by socalwakepunk on May 05, 2004)
