Wake School in CA ( San Fran / Petaluma ) ?

kid 08-20-2003, 3:51 AM

I will be staying in Petaluma outside San Fran ( Rohnert Park area ) mid September and will have 2-3 days leisure time and would like to get some lessons, do some riding etc. My season winds down around this time of year at home.

Can anyone recommend a good, well equiped school for beginner intermediate riders in this area..I am hoping to find something fairly close to my hotel if possible.

Thanks

Colin

Check out www.riverratwakeboarding.com. You can get lessons on the Petaluma river on Lake Sonoma.

Heard good things about Launch Wakeboard School.

Might be further than you want to drive.

Yea, its a little hard on everything but when your less than 5 minutes from a Delta type river you got a do what you got to do. Mike
