im starting at grand valley this week and i just got my new watson FLY and i havnt ridden it yet.
i already talked to the dude who runs the waterski club and they run a prostar 105 without a pylon and i kinda wanna ride behind a real boat
if anyone rides out there i would love it if you pulled me for a pity set just so i can break in this board.
gas money and positive attitude are included!
thanks!!!

It's a bit of a drive, but the guys at The Edge Kalamazoo do Wakeboard Wednesdays. It's like $10 and they ride until dark

Get a hold of Steve from the ski team...tell him he can bring you to Marks house to ride. You're welcome to come out any time. loaded up xstar.

Looks like you're going to be happy at school buddy. I can attest Alex being a great guy and even greater rider - so much style and amplitude. Have fun dude!

heck, roddyrod, if either of you want to come out get a hold of me any time. Season is getting short up here, so times a wastin... I'm on a lake a little east of GR, so it's not like it's right around the corner, but we have fun. Steve (guy who runs the GVSU ski team) works with me and he needs to come out as well. after labor day the lake really empties out so there are really no other boats on the lake. as long as the weather is good. otherwise karls place is pretty close to campus.

I go to State and unfortunately don't think there's much water or people that ride around here so if you guys ever got any extra room for another rider, I'm willing to drive a decent ways and would greatly appreciate a pull

There is a good wakeboarding scene in Allendale and nearby. You can ride your bike to three great areas where many people wakeboard. On the bus, you can get to Reeds Lake, another place to ride.

Great! Just moved into the new house. Camryn is 15, Miss Allendale, and on the JV volleyball team. Chayce is 13, over 200 lbs and nearly 6' tall, and dominating the line on the football team. Carsyn is 9 and on a competitive dance team. All ski, board, and surf. Deb is slalom skiing occasionally. Saturday we put on a ski show with a local team.

karl, i tried finding your lakes on google maps but couldnt see anything. are they just so new that the maps arnt up to date enough to see them?

(boarditup) · (boarditup) **Join Date: Jan 2004** 08-28-2009, 5:55 AM

yes, too new for google maps. Aerial photos on the website, however.

My X-2 is up for sale and being demo'ed right now. I have a 214 for the next couple of days. I'll see if it sells.
