Hey Matt, here's an awesome pic of ya from last week! <BR><img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/53686/743808.jpg" alt="Upload">

I'll be back in town Sunday night, any one want to get out on Tarpon on Monday evening around 5?

Thinking of hitting the river in a bit. The wind is supposed to die down around 4. Anyone up for some riding?

today is my only no riding at all day :-( stupid school but tomorrow im free all day til 6 if anybody is plannin on trying to shred <BR> <BR>Nice grab backroll matt

nice pic JB.

anyone riding tomorrow night at the River?

Doubt it. I am going out tonight so tomorrow I will be useless. Maybe Friday though.

COME TO CABLE PARK TOMORROW IN FULL COSTUME FOR CHANCE TO WIN A 2 HOUR PASS, and just look like an idiot for fun

BIIIIIG ups to Clark for the Switch Pete 5 off the kicker at mccormics

FINALLY back in town! Any one up for riding Tarpon on Wednesday at 5pm?

got class wed at that time so i am out... matt will prob be down and my friend ryan lives on tarpon so i will ask him. since our evenings are going to be cut short, anybody here want to start doing some early morning sets cause you can count me in for those. probably on HBR and for the saltwater editions, my River is always butter in the AM <BR> <BR>and thanks matt! gonna try and get it dialed with a late grab today

Hey Clark, how early can you ride Tarpon...I could go out before work but we'd be out there pretty early!

JB. I have class wednesday. and it's almost dark when I get home from work. We need to ride this weekend though.

It a sad day. I just saw Scotts boat on craigslist.

This is true. <BR> <BR>I've had my boat out only a handful of times since I moved out and I've been so busy with so much stuff that riding isn't getting up on my priority list right meow. I HATE having my boat just sit there and not getting used so I would rather sell it to someone that will put it to use and pick another one up next year sometime.

i have class at 8 about 30 minutes away from there tues and thurs. i can wake up a good bit earlier since we have an extra hour of light. let me know a time, i go fishing in the morning normally so i get up early

Matt, yeah I'm down for this weekend, I have no plans all weekend, other than to get out and ride! <BR> <BR>Clark, I'm up by 5 every day and am only 15 mins from Tarpon. I have to be back home to work no later than 9. Plenty of time to get a couple sets in if youre motivated enough lol. <BR> <BR>Scott, sorry to hear about the boat, come ride w/ us this weekend.

JB, I would be up for morning rides, if I could get to work by 9am. Sunrise right now is at 6:45am.

Awesome, sounds good. Let me know when you want to head out, I'm down to go any day.

if your in the water just after six, phat sacks filled by 630, then that would be perfect. i was thinkin HBR when i said class 30 mins south, its about an hour away. i could ride wed mornings because im totally free that day and can prob spend the night out by lake tarpon tuesday nights. i could also do friday mornings and possibly monday mornings and weekend im always game

i have not payed attention to what time in the AM would be feasable to start riding like before its completely light out... want to try and ride tomorrow morning?

Yeah, I would give tomorrow morning a try, 727 482 9717, send me a text.

Boat will be on Tarpon tomorrow by 6am! Dang it's going to be cold! At least there's heaters on the boat! See ya tomorrow Skubz n who ever else comes!

count me and matt in

Awesome, see ya out there! I have to be off the water by 8:30.

can anybody say chilly? its so cool out tonight and i know what that means for the AM, if anybody gets on, text me where we are meeting in the morning

Anderson Park 6am. Dang it's chilly out

hope the riding went well. i was up at 6-645 and did not know where we were meeting cause i didn't check this so clark=fail <BR> <BR>sorry guys, i will go to sleep before 4 am next time

This morning was a good set, the wind wasn't bad and we had 2700 lbs of ballast thanks to Matt's extra 750 sac. Skubz and I wil most likely be going out 1-2 week days in the AM like this until it starts to stay light out longer. Let me know if any one wants to join. I'm open for any day pretty much. Next week I have Thurs-Sunday off too <IMG SRC="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":-)" BORDER=0> The water was actually pretty warm this morning.

F that. I think there is a wakeboard video game Id rather play than get up that early. <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/lame.gif" border=0>

Who sleeps at 5am when they could be wakeboarding??

"Who sleeps at 5am when they could be wakeboarding??" <BR> <BR>Exactly. I gonna be tired tomorrow, but if you want to go out Friday morning I'm down

Lets shoot for Saturday morning, that work for you? Then we can stay out a lot longer. I'm sore as heck today.

lol. Saturday moorning works for me. what time do you want to be out by.

Hey, How's 10am work for you? Either Tarpon or the HBR, it doesn't matter to me. Any one else interested in coming? We'll be running 2700# of ballast again <IMG SRC="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":-)" BORDER=0>

Maybe more! I'm down. Give me a call in the moorning when you want to leave and we can roll out.

Sorry I flaked today... I didn't wake up until after 10am. Not normal.

See JB. your post says 10am<img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/rofl.gif" border=0>. All good. Hope you guys had as much fun as I did on that little jet boat. After we killed a bottle of patron I could not tell what boat I was riding behind <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/lol.gif" border=0>. I will text ya next time I take my boat out or we can just plan to ride my boat next weekend as I know you work till late afternoon.

Yeah Sorry about that DeeCee, it was kind of missleading on here, just glad you got to get out on a boat and were havin fun lol. Yeah man I'll come out on your boat any time though. This week I'm good for Friday-Sunday as I have all 3 days off. This chick friend of mine is supposed to come down from WI to ride all weekend. She's not real good, just like to get out and have fun. Thanks for coming out, Matt, Clark, Skubz....the wake was sick with all those people in the boat! I think we were pushin about 9,000+ lbs w/ people/gear/boat/gas and ballast!

I got my chores done last weekend so Im looking to get some serious riding in this coming weekend. Who has the jet boat DC?

i'm going to pull out the full floridian card... i am now going to start riding in wet suits... fun times out on the boat and who all were you riding with on the jet boat deecee?

Ted - It is the guy who looks like Rusty Malinoski that has that orange and black Jet Boat. <BR> <BR>JB - NP. I was initially just going to hang out with them till you showed up but in that time We killed almost a full bottle of Patron and by the time you showed up I was trashed and trying to ride behind your boat would have guaranteed me a broken something or another, plus I did not wanna be rude and ditch them. <BR> <BR>I actually have a ton of work to get done this week so I doubt I will get out during the week but if nothing else plan for Sat morning on the river again.

Ha ha yeah, that probably wouldn't be very good! I'll have my boat out on the river Saturday again too, if any one wants to come, let me know. I think I'm still cold blooded...trying to hold off on the wet suit as long as I can ha ha.

A little off topic, but, does anybody wanna surf Wednesday afternoon? Tropical Storm Ida is going to bring ridable surf to the gulf. Surfline is calling for 5 ft + on Wed. Anybody down?

Hey Tony, just an fyi...I was down at the Indian Rocks Beach yesterday. It was ridable there yesterday and there were a lot of people taking advantage of it.

Did you take advantage of it Steve? Im headed to Tampa today - wonder if I can get my old thruster in the civic without getting wax all over everything...

Tomorrow at 3:45 at Treasure Island!

JB - Count me in for Sat. I will check time with you before I leave my house this time <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/lol.gif" border=0> <BR> <BR>Ted - What's Wier like during Thanksgiving?

Sounds good DeeCee. <BR> <BR>Matt, what time can you meet at my house? I have nothing going on so I can meet when ever every one else wants to. <BR> <BR>Skubs/Scotty/Clark, you in? Haven't seen Scotty out in a while.

What Tampa Peeps just trying to get in touch with a few riders as I will be in FL on Jan 17 and be there for 6 weeks and I am there to ride meet new people and what ever. So I will be hitting a few of you up as that date gets close. I am cool for gas clean up oil changes and what ever else.... can't wait I have been back in WA. state for a week less than a week and all I want to do is wake........

sup brian. where will u b staying. post up your phone number when you get here in Jan. and ppl will call you when they go out. Everyone really cool out here about riding. <BR> <BR>CLARK-attn- I was going to call you to give you that phone, but that doesn't make much sense now. LMK if you still need it, and if you want to meet up or something.

Thanks Matt I will be sure to do that when I get there. I will be staying on Clear Lake in Orlando. 10 min from OWC....

your gonna have a long drive out to tampa.

who are you staying with on clear out of curiousity.

Weir is all but a retirement community from September to May - nice and quiet.

Cool. Still thinking of coming out that way for thanksgiving as we have no family coming into town. I dropped my boat off yesterday at Liquid to get everything fixed and working properly so I should have it back by then.

Well not the retirement center all tho that dose sound nice I will be renting a room from Brad Hedges.. I don't mind driving as longs as I get to ride and meet so cool peps.... Going to FL in the winter is going to be a regular thing for me...

i know there are tons of riders out on clear lake. i am not sure if they are as open with new riders as our tampa group but i am sure it would not be too hard to find a few people to ride with out there. make a thread about when you will be on clear lake/for how long/ and pretty much what you wrote about gas, cleaning, etc. and i am pretty sure somebody will hook you up with a ride, if not, we are only an hour away

and yea matt, did not think of how we would meet up for phone and i could still use it if your not. Pick a day and come ride some cable or something

Thanks Alafia as my time gets closer to being at clear I will make a post....

Hey Brian - some of the people on the Central Florida find a third thread live on or around Clear lake. I know some of them - Cat knows all of them.

sick thanks man, you guys seem super cool on helping people find a crew hits funny here not so open and it sucks... I can't wait to get back there....

clark. come out to teh river sat. we can meet up there and ride.

did you guys ride today?i ended up sleeping in then going to cable this afternoon to suck pretty horribly, still a fun time. Is anybody going to cable tournament at mccormicks tomorrow? i am debating on riding in it or not, should be pretty good time regardless , tons of great riders out there tomorrow

we are taking a moorning set at 8am at anderson park on tarpon. should have a hd camera to film w/.

Hey Scotty, you gonna post up those videos from today?

Yeah.. Video turned out pretty crappy, so I'm definitely gonna bring out a real cam next time so we can start putting some good footage together but for now here is a quick edit of Matt's runs today: <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR><a href="http://mindwerksmedia.com/matt" target="_blank">http://mindwerksmedia.com/matt</a>

pretty good for what you had to work with. thanks scotty. hope your ribs feel better.

rode in cable comp today and sucked during the tourny and rode good after it was over. about to watch the boat set but its downloadin, my internets slow. matt, what u doing tonight?

i should have checked in earlier. srry clark. hit me up w/ justins phone and i'll come over after work. prob be at your house at like 530 pm. lmk <BR>727 597 3223

i am going to be at the cable all day today. will call you from stephens phone

just got our boat for the winter, 2007 supra 21v w/ gravity bags(2000#s), and a 750, and 2 more 500s just in case. Now i'm gonna need a new prop. clark, u need to find out what prop ryan has so i can find out where to get one and how much it will cost

call acme or amc or whatever the company is. tell them your boat, motor, (ballast amount: just before sinking) and get that hooked up

true. thanks clark. i'll give them a call. we went out this moorning and couldn't get the pumps to fill. spent all my time before i had to leave before we realized that his boat had a manual valve under the main pump that you can't see.

yeaaaa!!! done with school for 4 days at 330 :-D cant freakin wait. whose going out the rest of this week and into the weekend. I may have a sea-doo rxp soon (tradin the crotch rocket)

I am off all day tomorrow, is anyone riding?

Steve - My boat is in the shop and I wont have it back till after thanksgiving. I am actually going to meet CJ today at 3 up on keystone. If you can make it and wanna ride call me as Im sure he wont mind you taggin along <IMG SRC="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":-)" BORDER=0>
