I go to Concordia Unv. in St. Paul MN, I am doing this for my final paper. These are some random questions to help me out with my research. Thank you to everyone who fills out my survey.

Well Steve, I live about 2 blocks away from your school. I go to St. Thomas. If you have an ID, hit up tiffs in Highland Tongiht, free taps from 9:30 to 11:30.

Now, I'll answer your questions

1. Gender:
a. Male

2. Age
b. 16-20

3. Where are you from?
Saint Paul, MN

4. Have you been to any of the 4 cable parks in the United States?

5. What reason did you go to the cable park for?

10. Do you think a wakeboarding complex would go well in Minnesota? Why?
If you could make it indoor, it would have a great following, the problem is you couldn't put it anywhere smaller than the metrodome. So, it is economically impossible.

No, I live here, why would I need to travel.

12. Any other comments you would like to make
Good luck dude, I don't mean to discourage you but it's not gunna happen. You live on Campus?
