Orlando, California, or stay in Texas?

I am about to withdraw from the semester at Texas State University because I don't want to spend six grand on school and a dorm for one semester. I want to be around a lot of wakeboarding or at least meet someone with a good boat that will go out many times a week.

If Orlando is what everyone makes it out to be then I could go there but I don't know what it would be like not knowing anyone at all.

I have a cousin that lives in Irvine, California. If there were lakes around I would just move in with her but I don't want to move over there if I won't get to wakeboard often enough.

I know there are a lot of people from CA on here so let me know what you guys think would be the best place to live to ride a whole lot.

Thanks, Justin
