Looking for a good coach in SoCal. I am a weekend warriar at Elsinore. I have totally plataued. I want to step up my riding. <BR>Can anyone recommend a good instructor and what they charge per session?

Brent Baum is out of Canyon Lake, (909)757-6356 HTH!

i don't know what he charges, but chris williams is a semi-pro hyperlite rider and a great easy-going guy to work with. he's on the board here and his profile has his contact email: <BR> <BR><a href="http://www.wakeworld.com/cgi-bin/Discus4/board-profile.pl?action=view_profile&amp;profile=cdubs-users" target="_blank">cdub profile</a>

steve, the manager at sports ltd is another instructor, he does lessons usually at castaic with his pimped 2003 wakesetter vlx. he knows his stuff pretty good, give him a call at (818) 225-7669

yea but steve isnt the greatest person to deal with. he gives people the run-around. i would stick with chris williams. hes the most underated rider there is out there and he loves to teach people how to wakeboard. its not jus about the money for him. he actually will go out and ride and not jus sit and the boat and pretend to know how to ride.

If you don't want to pay, try to ride with people in the area who are better than you. You'll have the people to push you and the advice is free!

Thanks for the compliment Blabel, I have noticed quite an improvement in your riding since being under my wing.

Cheryl Newton is an excellent coach. She is a pro tour rider and co-president of the CLWC. Please check <a href="http://www.wakeboardclub.com" target="_blank">http://www.wakeboardclub.com</a> for her contact information. <BR> <BR>(Message edited by socalwakepunk on September 29, 2003)
