Well, the reason im askin, is im about to start workin on a new wake film, and i want to bring a few riders down from northern cal to shoot down here and marine stadium is perfect...so if anyone has a nice setup and would be willing to help out, gas and beers would be paid....

Get ahold of the long beach wakeboard team or watersports warehouse. There team practices in the marina and they have a boat. Good people too

you know the marine stadium is salt water, right? wakes are smaller in salt water so i'm not sure it's the perfect spot especially if you're bringing people down.

yeah, the salt water thing came up today with a friend and we both were wondering about that....im glad u said something cuz i couldnt remember if that was the case....you and dave are to damn smart..dpc scholars....well i may have to sack up and drive to the delta more often then id like...well see....

I shot in some salt water for my film and it seemed to work out fine. Larry was actually one of the riders.

Gordie -

Whats up man, how have things been?

Dale's sacked out SAN threw a monster wake when we used to ride in Long Beach.

just to clear things up, i said "smaller." that doesn't mean that the wakes are small no matter what. if you bring a sacked out boat to long beach, you could definitely get a big wake. but, if you were to take the same boat with the same weight set-up to a fresh water lake, the wake will definitely be bigger.

Salt will also make the wake a bit firmer and your landings as well.

Does anyone ride down there that happens to have a newer malibu boat?

(timmy) · (timmy) **Join Date: Jul 2001** 01-19-2007, 3:38 PM

salt water is more dense, the wakes will be smaller but it pops harder. also the landings are harder

Gordie-

Happy new year to you and the family as well. I do have some plans and will let you and Larry know soon.

Kyle -

Thanks a lot. Pretty much all the AZ stuff at Firebird was salt. The location with the bleachers and billboards in the background. Im not sure how much salt, thats a Gordie question. Good luck with the film.

There's more salt in firebird than L.B. marine.
Hey Joe how you guy doing up north?

that's why i don't like riding in salt...my old knees can't take the landings!

Gordie, we're doing well! antbug and i were thinkin' of riding on monday. we'll see how work goes. maybe i'll get up early, do my work, then go ride.

hey Kyle, my name is Tony. I'm on the Long beach state wakeboard team. we ride at the stadium, it's a sweet spot. We have a Calabria pro-V that throws a pretty sweet wake. we keep the boat there at the stadium, we could prolly help you out

(wakekid11) · (wakekid11) **Join Date: Jul 2003** 01-21-2007, 12:51 AM

the marine stadium isn't completely salt water either. some fresh water flows into it too. but yeah, the wake isn't super huge, but it definately has a harder kick to it and pops off the wake harder, and yeah the landings are a lil firmer too

kc700 01-21-2007, 4:14 AM

tony that would be amazing...it would be rad to come check out the setup next time you guys ride...

yeah, im on break right now. i get back to long beach here in like a week, im up in dublin in the bay area right now, but when i get there i can see what is goin on and let you know. we could try nd set something up if u want, we are out there at the stadium all the time.
