Has anyone trained with Dave Briscoe?

I'm tired of winter and thinking about a trip to Florida for some boarding. Probably take 3-4 day long weekend and go somewhere. I was looking at the site for Dave Briscoe, and apparently it is on a chain of lakes with accomidations at Lake Roy Beach Inn. Has anyone out there trained and /or stayed at the Inn? For those who have been there, how was the training?

Ive ridden with briscoe for the past 7 years... Hes also coached Zane, JD Webb, and countless other great riders. Briscoes an incredible coach. I think hes one of the best.

Nice batwing in his "tips" section, Derek

Some friends and I spent a week with him, back in '99. It was a lot of fun, learned a bunch. Zane helped coach a bit then too. Dave also did a lot of coaching for us on our barefooting technique. He is alwo a pretty funny guy, so that adds to the experience.

Hide the women and children.


Seriously Dave is an awesome guy that is probably one of the best coaches in the industry.

Dave and I hunt large cats together on weekends.

One of the best coaches out there. A lot of the pro's get his advice when they are having problems. My son, Derek Conway, went to him after an injury and he was able to get all his old stuff back plus get consistency on some tricks he was having trouble with. He thinks he really communicates well. Ask Bryan Hutton.

Lake Roy Inn is nice and right on the water. The chain is low right now so Briscoe has been going out of a few other lakes that are also very close. If Lake Roy is booked you can stay at Admirals Inn at Cypress Gardens as well, their phone number is 863-324-5950.
You can pm me for any other questions if you like.
Do you have kids?

My son, Phillip Aslinger,has trained with Dave since 2003 several times each year. He really understands the fundamentals and has an ability to break complex tricks into critical learning elements to speed progression. If your serious about learning working with Dave over a period of time will pay off.

Lake Roy is okay, they have been slowly remodeling since 2006 huricanes. Dave also has a house that he rents out rooms in now.

I hav trained with briscoe a couple times in the past year. He is a great guy and and even better coach. He has been around since the very beginning. (cwb sent him a wakeboard long ago and told him try it out. they said they think this is really going to be a hit. lol)

I stayed at the inn for a couple nights. its pretty nice. the room we stayed in had two beds, and a bathroom in one area and a couch, t.v., table, and kitchen in another area. kinda like two separate rooms without any doors

I highly recommend the trip. it will be WELL worth it. and ya ask b-hutt. he has been with him since he was a youngin im pretty sure.

I stayed at lake roy inn last year during the central florida wakefest. I have nothing but good things to say about the stay. The people who run the place are supper nice!!! Winter Haven is just what the name implies...a winter haven for people to get out of the cold. To that end the people who run the place are geared towards accomadating people who come to florida to enjoy the water and sunshine. If you bring your boat there's plenty of parking and they have their own private ramp. There's an ihop within walking distance and several restaurants and grocery store close by (most rooms have a kitchen). The hotel is a little older so not all the rooms are 5 star accomadations, however, they are in the middle of remodeling. Some of the people in my crew didn't like the older rooms however most of us could care less. Price was very reasonable...I rented 4 rooms for the cost of one room at the ritz here in atlanta.
I've heard nothing but good things about dave. I'll let you in on a little secret. The group of guys who ride in that area are probably the nicest guys around!!!! Post around on this site. odds are they'll probably hook you up.

I've ridden with Dave since 1992 and he is with out a doubt the best at easily getting you to do new stuff and easily explaining it....trust me he can get you to the next level! Zane

Thanks For all the kind words. I'll be happy to get you to the next level. and I do have a house availible for students now. You can view it on me web site. It's called "house of paine" only because it's on Paine Dr.
Dave

Dave, I'd like to come down there for a 4 day/3 night stay and get as much time on the water as possible. What type of class arrangement do you have? Strictly Monday - Friday?

Zane, if your peeking in, are you going to be at the Detroit Boat Show?

Briscoe is the bomb! super "user friendly" and great guy...wish I had of recorded all of session, was a wealth of info and knowledge. But be ready to work and not go out for a picnic and a round of singing koombayawhen he got done with my boy he was wore out but had also landed front roll/ back roll/ and solidified his foundation. Alot of crashes but the victory was sweet, and the grin was worth the pain at the end of the day. plus got to see Hutton, and Joseph,(daves assistant) ride, what a treat! Heck the old man... lol... (briscoe) can still KILL IT !!! dave have a super year, hope to get to see ya again, bob wells family, (tallahassee)

My 11 year old son rides with Dave - not only is he a great wakeboard coach - but life coach as well. Really cares and the "house of paine" is a great place to stay while in Winter Haven.

I took a class with Dave last year. Was a good time and he helped me out alot. Worth every penny.

Dave, be sure to do the rooster when they arrive...
