Stefani;
It looks like you guys managed to find some good water, I was wondering if you guys would make it out, Saturday was blowing..... Sunday morning wasn't much better when I woke up. You guys get any viedo?

Hi Gary,
The wind was blowing hard Sunday but we had decent water on Tracy Oasis most of the day. There was a period of an hour or so where it got kind of choppy so we went to lunch. Then the water got really nice again. All in all, a great day on the water. I got some video. I heard Saturday was decent until the afternoon. Did you guys make it out?

Stefani,

We had great water Saturday until about 3:30pm. The Delta is a trip, I had to get used to not being able to see anything above the water line. You guys are some lucky SOB's to have that much flat water all the time.

I had some pictures to post, but my disk got destroyed on the plane ride home. Christie was filming all day, so you probably see a clip in the future.

I was great to see Christie, Mike, Jimmy, and Joe again. It was also nice to meet some new people, Henry, and Frankie.

All in all, we had an awesome time while I we were down there. Thanks to Christie for making sure the Delta crew rolled out the red carpet for our visit. I rolled something out for them, but Christie was busy driving.

Stefani,

Sorry we missed meeting you guys again, maybe next time.

Jay Rod,

Hope things got taken care of for your buddy this weekend. Maybe we can hook up at the Shasta get together this summer.

Now it's time for a Delta Crew trip to Seattle.

Cliff, sorry we didn't get a chance to meet your crew. I thought you guys were heading out on Sunday but heard second hand Sunday morning that you guys wouldn't make it out. Next time for sure! Take it easy:-)

Cliff,

Glad you had a good time. I'll be making a couple of trips to Shasta in the summer. Let's stay in touch. Sorry I had to miss wakeboarding to help a good friend move, but, I got to hang out in Santa Barbara for an evening. I just can't say enough good things about Santa Barbara....haha! Yikes!

Christie,
Thanks for the all hospitality. It was great to finally get out on the DELTA.

I have some emotional scars that came back with me, has something to do with hanging out with Cliff, maybe it was best I moved to Las Vegas.

The parting words that I heard by some rapper when we were at Jack London Square. Aint no party like a holy............?

Cliff - I missed the live "rollout" but unfortunately for me I think it was caught on film so I might have to endure the instant replay

Scott - Thanks a lot for putting that song back in my head again. Now the party won't stop! I think I have some emotional scarring as well from hanging with Cliff. Maybe I will just have two four ounce glasses to stop the pain....

There definitely were a few things hanging out!

Sorry I had to bail so early on Sat and miss the after party. New job, you know how it goes. Great to ride with the NW crew again, glad you all had fun and nobody got arrested or shot.

Where are all the pictures/videos?

Hahn - Cliff took pictures, but his disk got destroyed on the flight home. I have video footage so a short vid will come in the next few days....

Looking forward to seeing it Christie!
