Napa River

(liquidforce512)

This might be a long shot but here it goes.....

Does anyone on here ride the Napa river and need a third. Ya the river is kind of dirty but I have ridden it before and it isnt all that bad. Saw someone leaving the river the other day and hopefully you guys are on wakeworld.

I didnt even know u could ride the Napa River...where do u launch from?

(liquidforce512)

There are a couple spots. I used to go out when I had my old boat. Cant bring myself to put my 210 in there. There are 3 free launches that I know of. One is out in Kennedy park, one downtown past the library and another out at moors landing out in los coneros on cuttings warf road. I have ridden petaluma river, the delta and the napa river. The Napa river is not that bad. It was alot of fun.

Here are some pics of the river and where we launched from. Upload

out by the warf in carneros is awsome if the wind isn't coming through hard. Hard to find guys the launch in there though.

Nick were you at a wedding recently in Napa. My buddy said he talked to someone that is on wakeworld named nick. His name is Steve and he owns a skate shop in napa.

There are just too many days were I dont have time to drive all the way to berryessa to ride and i LOOK OUT AND THE RIVER IS JUST GLASS. Its killing me.

is the river mainly fresh water or brakish?

Ollie,
It's a tidal river and mostly salt. It might be brackish during the winter though.

It's butter just about every time I drive over it on my way to the delta during the winter.

Its brackish all the time but always glass. Just got done riding berryessa and got blown out by noon. Would have saved alot of time and money to just ride the river today.

Skillings. It may save travel time, but think about the extra time in cleaning the boat after that water. (Not fun)

(liquidforce512)

That is exactly why I wont put my boat in there. I figured if someone on here actually rides the river they probably need a third. Not to many people want to ride in there.

Skillings,
Did I ride with you up at Mendo over the winter with Blake ?

(liquidforce512)

Yes you did Walt. Hows it going?
