Wakeboarding in Maryland

sputnic6 07-02-2005, 5:29 AM

My wife and I just moved to Ellicott City and we are looking to get out and wakeboard with the locals here. I don't have a boat yet, but I would love to get out and meet new people.

Ellicot City is relatively close to Eric and me, just a little journey down route 100 east to where we ride, this weekend is no good for riding though.

Whats up MD boarders. I live in Towson. I like to launch from Dundee Marina and board around that little cove around the powerplant. I board on a little 1977 run-about with a 70 hp outboard. My dad and I built our own tower that works pretty effectively, but looks downright ghetto. I can do tantrums and other tricks, but it is certainly not easy on my little, underpowered boat. If anyone out there with a nice ride would like to give me a pull, i'd be more than willing to give some instruction to beginners, fill your boat up with gas, and bring plenty of beer. Help me out MD boaters, I NEED A GOOD PULL!

if you don't mind a little road time, dam 4 and dam 5 in Washington county. Two awesome stretches on the potomac. We are there several days a week. If you happen to have a flexible work sched, you can get up there on weekdays and have the whole river to yourself. Probably take you a little over an hour to dam 4. Life is good. We just spent the last 4 days on the water there. from early morning to late evening. gets a little busy on weekends though, but it has been very good to us.

Dave, I go to school at Towson and have an apartment in Cockeysiville. I do most of my riding behind Eric's boat, the second guy that posted on here, so I can't really invite you but we've gone out to ride with several people we met on here. We usually ride either Monday, Wednesday, or Friday after work so around 5:30-6. It would be about a 30-45 minute drive from Towson depending on traffic.

I live in Southern Maryland...I go to Lake Anna alot in Va. and once in awhile around here...I haven't gone up north to Annapolis yet but I've heard good things...Is it salt water up there? I have two boats one a 88 ski supreme which is going to be for sale in a few weeks and I have a 92 Malibu.

Dan and I and a couple other people took a camping trip down there to Lake Anna. It was awesome. We camped a Christopher Run campground. We might be doing it again at the end of this month (dan need to talk to you bout that). Yes it is salt water.

Nate-o is right, my whole crew from last summer has moved away and it has been tough replacing them.
Nick is definately fun to watch and have on the boat.

sputnic6 07-11-2005, 3:18 PM

Sorry that I haven't replied for a while. I've been pretty busy with work and haven't had a chance to get on here. Thanks for all the replies and invitations!! I can't wait to get out with all of you. Just shoot me an invitation and I'll be there. Unfortunately I was rock climbing last weekend and cut my finger up pretty bad. So, I'll be out of anything for about a week. But this weekend I should be good to go if anyone is heading out!! Dang, I miss the crew in North Carolina (good times 'sniff'). Anyways, thanks again for all the ivitation and I can't wait to meet all of you.
