a nice little mid-week trip out to the Colorado river for some epic conditions and plenty of fun with lots of new tricks landed by everyone - it doesn't get much better than this!

Nice place Bill!! I really have to make it out there sometime. Hot shot of your powerslide.

Glad I am not the only person up at this hour!

Awesome.
I was just thinking about these trips you guys on the West coast make while looking at the Shasta section in WBM. In Florida, there's a mud puddle around every corner to get your pull. You guys often load up the night before for early morning journeys out to these scenic destinations. It's definitely a different lifestyle.

BTW, I guess sometimes the photographer does get the privelage of being the subject - of a very good photo none-the-less. Imagine that! ha ha

Bill,

What's up man, long time no see, or hear. Those pics are nice! I bet it was nice to get out on some smooth water like that, compared to our last trip at San Vicente. What where the new tricks... Did you finally get that last handle pass on the ts 900?

Talk to you later,
-Blake

Wow! We NEVER see water like that. Well, not here, anyway.

Hey Bill,

Sweeeet! Is that Martinez? I'm heading out there Sun-Tues. I'm excited because I just bought a new wakesurf board (HO Kona, same as Hyperlite Landlock), now I won't be stuck driving.

Martinez mid week is EPIC.........did the wind ever come up?

(sdboardr99) · (sdboardr99) **Join Date: Aug 2001** 08-20-2004, 2:58 PM

Sean, yep that's Martinez/Fishers Landing. I may see you out there early next week. The wind came up a little but not enough to ruin the water, but we only had perfect glass for a few hours.

Well guys I would invite all my bros and even people I don't know yet (always looking to share the stoke) but I'm not taking my boat, I'll be with a friend in his '03 Tige' 21i.

I'm up on a wakesurf board... I don't dare try wakeboarding for another 4-6 months, but I can handle the rigors of surfing. My recovery is going great! It's been 4 months since my surgery and I have been cleared to return to work 2 months ahead of what was projected.

That's what therapy 4 hours a day, 3 days a week did for me.

Bill, I hope to see you out there, that would be cool. Gary's Tige' is all white and he tows with an "04 white Yukon XL with DUBS on it.

Now that I have my crew's attention, who wants to go tomorrow? 7am, Lake Perris, will start with wakeboarding but main mission is for ME to surf. That may sound selfish of me (and it is) but I'm sure you understand my needs.

Stack - you'll just have to wait for the video!

Sean, where are you guys staying?

Hey Bill, funny thing in the last pic if you go around the point there to the right the blue dock in the back corner is the house we stay at. Though i haven't been there at all this year

Buddy blew his ACL first trip last year on new boat @ Martinez...........Went to Vail on Tuesday , did it again.......out another 6-8 months.......being UPS driver he said that's it.......he has to quit. And this comes from a guy who says that wakeboarding is better than sex. And his chick used to work at Capt. Creams in O.C. ( that says a lot but sums it up how most people feel about wakeboarding )
