We'll be there - flights, hotel, rental all booked. Just for giggles I had to do mapquest to see the directions. You can drive from Sacramento to Nashville in 32+ hours, all 2,282 miles. :-)

The directions weren't difficult it was something like turn right on I-80 E and drive 1,578.6 miles. :-)

Anyone got recommendations on family friendly restaurants within walking distance of the venue?

So, towing the boat at 10 mpg, that's 228 gallons. At let's say $3.75 per gallon that's 228 * $3.75 = $855 one way.

LOL! You are so random, Show. :-)

That's still cheaper than what James will eat in the four days we'll be traveling. :-)

Present and accounted for.

I think there may be eight or so of us from Central Ohio that will be competing. There should be three from Indiana that we know of and one from that state up north.

Will be there with the family. Kayley and Robbie will be completing. There will be at least 7 competitors from the Columbus, OH area at Worlds. I've heard Nashville has more restaurants than any other city so I'm sure there are quite a few family friendly restaurants.

I'm not competing, but family is, so I'm turning wakesurfing into a spectator sport. ;)

RG , The swim platform is going to be covered under warranty. It should be done Wed-Thurs, not sure. C and N had me out on their boat Friday. I'd like to get the Mighty Enzo out next Friday and Monday. I think you guys are going to have other plans. Let me know if you’re around Friday. I’m sure we’ll have one crew the week before the comp. You’re certainly welcome then.

I’d bring my boat down but it sounds like Centurion doesn’t want any other boats near the venue. I’d rather have more opportunities to ride and watch the event from the water side. I don’t know if there’s any place to pick up and drop off crew, trailer parking, or to dock. I hear the water depth is like 100 feet so I don’t think you could anchor up.

The Inland Surfer Crew is a blast, looking forward to seeing everyone and meeting more surfers.

Would love to be there, too far for us.

Nashville has everything to eat right at the river front. One block over family style or anything else you want.

I'm really looking forward to Nashville. I had the chance to warm up behind the Enzo for the first time at the Chill and Ride Contest and be in the team Centurion with Adam Fields and Kyle Raatray and Petra Reissmann... all wakeboarders except me but it was good fun we made the 2nd place. I really look forward to meet you wakesurfers.
