Shasta Trip 6/6-6/13

We have had a couple of people drop out of our annual trip. If you think would be interested in coming let me know. It is $750 for the week. Which covers all the food booze and gas. If you have any questions PM me. Right now we have 3 HB's and about 5-6 boats coming. Here's some pics from last year:

Dude....I just moved from Sac to FL....if I was in Sac, I'd definitely be in. Shasta is the sh*t!!

ya.. I am down for this.. where do i sign up?

OK people. I am sure someone wants to have a good time. And Shasta is great! We have a great crew, and have a BLAST! Get in on it.

Jonny,

Sign up right here, but you have to bring your girl! Who's gonna make our drinks? \

Oh, wait, you are already signed up!

18 days baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOOOOOO...

I recognize that beer coozie, and those freckles!

Come on. How about a couple more WakeWorlders!

We would love to make the trip but that is "about" the time I return from deployment. Next Year?

for sure kenny. BTW I have as many of those speaker grills as you want. PM me and let me know how many and we can work out a price.

BTW, if anyone is interested, you can also IM me on Yahoo or AIM.

Can't wait!! It's been 2 LOOOOOOOOONG years since I was there. 16 and counting, all systems go. roger.

Cliff,

If you get a chance, jump on the group page and let us know what time you are heading out, where we are going to meet, etc. Where are you renting your HB? Feel free just to give me a call too.

Getting really close now. I am starting to itch!

No takers? You are all going to miss a great trip.

Hey! I'll go!! Oh, wait....

14 days left! Maybe I will hit the road today. I will meet everyone there!

Hey guys and gals:

I have bad news, I won't be making it to this gathering and am very upset about it. My houseboat broke down on me over Memorial Day and we can't get back there in time to get it fixed for this gathering. The throttle and steering cable broke on me and I had to be towed back to my slip. I also might have a head gasket problem. Bummed.....bummed....bummed. Sucks cause it will cost a lot of money to get fixed and I hope it is ready soon.

shasta is sick ill be up there the whole summer

Anybody got $750 I can borrow?

-Steve

(jealous)

steve, i'll lend you $750 if you lend me $2250. sound good?

Kimmy,

Really a bummer. Sorry to hear it. Was looking forward to meeting you. Hopefully you at least enjoyed your holiday weekend before the breakdown.

Joe, Steve,

Bummer

Sorry, can't loan something I have NONE of! Let's plan on hitting the lake after I get back.

WOO-HOO! Change of plans I am coming and I will be there from Tuesday June 10th to the 16th. But I can't drive my HB, but my resort is nice enough to pull me out of my slip across the way from Silverthorn. So with that said maybe you guys can take a ride over to my HB and hang out for awhile.

cool...cant wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice!

We'll be pulling into BB around three on Friday.

Will Matt be coming with you as well?

That's great news Kimmy. This trip is going to be off the hook!

Just curious as to what the current lake temp might be? What about debris in the water?

I just got back from the lake an hour ago. No debris and the water temp is low to mid 70's.

Nice! 5 more days and I will be there!

Tic toc, tic toc... less than 48 hours until launch and all systems are a go!

How many people are coming with you again Cliff?

whose systems are a go? Certainly not MINE. Looking forward to SATURDAY.

Me and five others.

Cliff,

You suck! Don't you have a job you should be doing instead of playing at Shasta?

Have fun man

Wish I lived close to that looks fun

Phil and I are on our way to Reno for a night of trailer park fun. See you guy's Friday!!!!!

Justin, no one said you needed to live close. On our Houseboat, there are only 4 out of 10 of us that live "close", the rest are coming from Las Vegas, San Diego and LA.

Oh I thought the trip was in Florida?

Nope, Northern California

Well I have 2 epic boats... what if we just came up for the weekend how much would it be... I don't drink ether so how much would I be spending... I have my own wakeboard camp here in mesa, az and just want to go out and meet people

can you be here tomorrow? We are shoving off at 2:00.

Dang... I didn't think it was this weekend... I got so stoked to go. But I have to teach a group of kids tomorrow and I have a full schedule during the week cause we are headed up to Lake Powell for BroStock. One of our riders that I sponsor is riding in the Double Up competition, so we are going to support him.

There is always next year. I'm taking deposits ($200 per person).

cool

We're here!

I'll be the picture taking clown this weekend. Here are a few to start while we journey up the Squaw arm.

NWHC Crew,

You guys suck even more then the last time I said you suck

Just kidding

So what tricks will you be bringing back with you?

Have a good time everyone....I will be at Schwennes.
Buzz...I want to see you at a contest...you hear??

I agree with jakober on this one. You guys suck. You aren't missing anything around here. Today was raining hard with white caps with more in the forecast.

..Yo Cliff - we departed Jones Valley @ 11:00am on Friday, Had some issues with the houseboat, but was rectified at the dock. I belive I passed WES going NORTH bound on HWY-5 on my way out.

I also was passed by a Ford Excursion pulling a X-45 or X-80 with a BATMAN logo on the side of the boat,

Anyway we had a awesome time, weather SUCKED all week, but the water was like butta, Oh yeah - Kimmy I added some new decals on your back window of your house boat, How much are you asking for the boat by the way??????

We RECKED Silverthorn Thursday night at the bar.

LT8R

..Whoops - I ment Wes

Thanks Racer 5 for the new decals. I will be leaving tomorrow to be at my HB for 7 days. Look forward to seeing the new sticks.

Got home last night. Shasta didn't disappoint.
WakeTool getting ready for a surf set.

View of the boats resting in the cove


Long shot of our cove

Buzz the rebel just couldn't stay out of trouble.


Note the special cap required for their refreshment consumption.


Some cool hot boats showed up and hung our for awhile.


I have waaaaaay better photos from other events that took place but they'd never fly on here.

Thanks to Tate / Renee / Buzz and all of the rest who made us feel welcome to hang out. Hope you guys survived suicide night.

Nice looking cove, what arm were you in? Super jealous I have to wait until July for my first trip of the season. Like to see those other pics.

Yea where were you at? that cove looks nice. We will be there on jun 29 - july 7th.

Its gonna get low this year!

Cant wait to see everyones picks. Always looks like you guys have a great trip.

We were up the Sqaw, all the way at the end. I like it almost as much as the Pit. The only downside is the best riding spots are kind off blind as you come around the corners. The plus side vs the Pit is you don't have to go nearly as far up the arm to get good water.

Just got back. I will get through the 2000 pictures we all took tomorrow. I will be sure to put up some that are allowed on this site

Cliff...It was nice to get to hang out. Definitely need to do it again some time. Let us know when the wife lets you off the leash again!

We are set to go again next year. Already reserved our same boat. We will be there from 6/5 - 6/12. If anyone is interested in going get in touch with us. We may have some space.

Glad you're all home safe and back to warmer weather.

We came back on Monday to 43 degrees and 10" of snow in the local mountains (3000ft). Tomorrow morning will be 48 air with 58 water. Back to the drysuit we go.

Here are a few pictures I took

The water looks awesome I cant wait. is this at the end of squaw?
let me know. We are there in (2) weeks. thanks.

Yes, that was all the way up Squaw. However the water is really low so there are a lot of S turns to get back there and they moved the 5 mph zone up. BEWARE, they are enforcing that 5 mph zone! Hope the wind dies down for your trip Tony.


We needed a WakeWorld banner for our houseboat... hint hint...

I think next year we need one or two of these!!!!

That's awesome!!!

feel free to bring one...I will do the grillin'

That this is Bad. Anyone have any more info on them
They don't look cheep. Im guessing 10 grand

Kimmy, we are bummed that we missed you guys! We looked all over for you! We saw the Epics as we were leaving on Friday and tooted our horn as they passed us. I bet they thought we were a bunch of weirdo's waving at them.

Gina, Raequel and Shawna, I was looking forward to seeing you guys. It's been a while!

Anyone interested in going on next year's trip PM me or Tate. The boat is booked, price is set.

6/5/09-6/13/09 $800 per person.

Me, Me, Me!

I was bummed too that we did not get to hook up. I guess when you all came over to visit us we were out filming and shooting. Next year for sure. Check out just some of the pics at http://www.shastalake.com/epic/.

Kimmy, Where was that picture of Shawna & Raequel taken by that water fall. we are going up next week and that looks like a fun place to check out (if theres any water left there). Let me know.
thanks tony

yeah, where is that spot? We gotta find that place next year! Great pics!

Man! Just looked at those pics, and now I am REALLY upset we never hooked up with you guys. That waterfall area will definately need to be on our agenda next year.

I'm guessing Little Backbone? The falls are a short hike by foot at the very end of the inlet.

Cliff is correct. That's Little Backbone Cove. It's the middle cove to the right of the Dam. I hiked there last week with four kids. The hike is a little longer because of the low water level but well worth it. There is no shortage of water for the creek. It flows all year regardless of lake level. There are several different ponds and waterfalls you have to hike through before you get to the one with the rope. Much of the water comes from an abandoned copper mine. It’s safe and monitored.

I'll post some pics tonight.

Hi Renee, sorry we missed you guys out there:[. It was a fun week, too bad we couldn't have all met up at Little Backbone. It looks like you guys had a really fun trip too! Let us know if you guys come out to Black Butte!

How's the water level (and wind) at Black Butte these days? Let us know when you guys are going out again and maybe we can hook up. You guys can give me pointers on how to get across the damn wake . you have my email right? renee@reneeandtate.com

renee,
You have to TRY to get across the wake more then 1 week per year

Yeah, you think you're funny huh? Smart Ash. Maybe if I could get over, I would try more often!

If you dont try, you wont succeed.
