And I can attest to what Tommer said and his partying antics...it was not a pretty sight!

How the heck are you doing Tommer? Life good your way?

From what I hear Boardstock is to be held this month, earlier than what it's been in the past...as for dates ... I can't help you there! I know this, with what happened last year at TP and what happened to me personally there I won't be going back!

Hey Teri, Gary's wife here.... (Sanger V215) We're takin' the boat and have a VIP pass, so we'll be in the pits. If we have room, you can certainly join us. Maybe then you can meet Danny's girlfriend.

BoardStock went up on there ticket prices this year. It seemed to have less people and booths there every year. Lets just hope this year it will be bigger

Boardstock is totally geared towards wakesurfing this year. Event is on August 28th-29th - same spot as last year. Boardstock event continues towards being more of an event where the manufacturers push what they want and less about what WE want to see........ What happened to the awesome event we used to have on Lake Shasta?

wakesurfering is about the gayest thing you can do. Go find a huge channel on the delta, where all the monster boats cruise past, and wakesurf out there. all you punks wakesurfing in the good calm channels is horrible. Better yet, drive over to this thing called the ocean, and try surfing.

chavezychavez 08-09-2004, 10:06 AM

Tommer, that has to be the worst post ever.

Not unlike tubing, if you don't like it, too bad.

Wakesurfing punk..... ouch! Thats kind of harsh, but I am sure you did not mean it that way : ) probably just a typo!

(jarrod) · (jarrod) **Join Date: May 2003** 08-09-2004, 11:58 AM

Thats kind of ignorant actually.

Poon, you're way too nice.

(aaronlee13) · (aaronlee13) **Join Date: Jul 2001** 08-09-2004, 12:02 PM

ignorance is bliss.... i've heard

deltahoosier 08-09-2004, 12:11 PM

I blame Arun....He was the first person I had ever seen wakesurfing in the Delta, haha...Nothing like having a wakesurfing punk that can kick crap out of about anyone around here at wakeboarding too. I think you cornered the market Arun.

(jarrod) · (jarrod) **Join Date: May 2003** 08-09-2004, 12:21 PM

hey, did you guys check out the list of riders they claim to of had for for 2003? I was there. That's how I know Chad, Phillip, and Danny Harf were not there. Seems kind of weird. Every year the list gets smaller. I know Phillip Soven rode in 2002, but I don't remeber Harf or Sharpe being there that year either. Maybe I'm wrong.

Tower Park prices for that weekend are crazy! The lady today told me three nite minimum cuz it's a "Big" event weekend...the total for three nites with a boat slip was $268! Ain't gonna happen for me. I'd rather put that much coin towards new equipment!

(aaronlee13) · (aaronlee13) **Join Date: Jul 2001** 08-09-2004, 9:10 PM

tower park sucks... has nothing to do with boardstock... Bunch of punks, that grab any girl as they walk by... security everywhere, they need it, there was stabbings last year... doesnt represent the wakeboarding community at all

(lzyboy) · (lzyboy) **Join Date: Jun 2001** 08-10-2004, 7:07 AM

Jrod - you are 100% right, the list of riders has gone bad to worse every year... The event has gone totally "corporate" as people would say with more vendors every year and less riding...

=(

They are also charging for VIP parking. I'm curious what is considered VIP parking?? Hopefully they're not referring to the lots across the street. That would be it for me.

(detonate69) · (detonate69) **Join Date: Apr 2001** 08-10-2004, 7:39 AM

VIP parking is a fenced off area right beside the event. Basically a big open lot. I used it last year because finding parking down there is a pain. I think it was $10 last year. Well worth it to me to not have to find a spot and walk hella far.

(jarrod) · (jarrod) **Join Date: May 2003** 08-10-2004, 8:37 AM

got it, thanks d.

(jbjboc) · (jbjboc) **Join Date: Aug 2004** 08-10-2004, 10:11 AM

Kinda lost the "love" that Boardstock used to be all about. More of a party, and the event is sold to the highest bidder of products. I haven't EVER wakesurfed... might be cool, but I don't want to see it at BOARDstock. Wakeboarding is where we came from, and THATS what we want to see. Maybe a wakesurfing demo, but keep it all about what we're all about- wakeboarding.

Tower Park- joke! If you wanna party, then it's a perfecct place. But when I used to go to Boardstock at Shasta, it was all about RIDING! I think i'm gonna skip Boardstock this year- which really sux-

(jarrod) · (jarrod) **Join Date: May 2003** 08-10-2004, 10:42 AM

I wonder why Centurion ended up with the event this year also. Malibu Boats was probably the only thing keeping Shapiro coming. I bet he won't be around this year either.

(aaronlee13) · (aaronlee13) **Join Date: Jul 2001** 08-10-2004, 12:13 PM

whats wrong with a centurion

(jarrod) · (jarrod) **Join Date: May 2003** 08-10-2004, 1:23 PM

easy buddy! nothing is wrong with Centurion.

Just wondering why it suddenly changed. It's always been Malibu in the past. Just curious why they switched boats.

(jbjboc) · (jbjboc) **Join Date: Aug 2004** 08-10-2004, 2:28 PM

SOLD!!!! to the highest bidder....
thats why.............
Malibu didn't pay the extortion fee probably

Ok, we have a VIP pass for our boat, where the heck do we launch???? No one wants to give up any 411 overthere @ Bordstock.com, those little suckers.... I was told off March Lane under the I5 underpass??? Any ideas???

(lzyboy) · (lzyboy) **Join Date: Jun 2001** 08-10-2004, 4:14 PM

Stacy-

Are you aware that EVERYONE in your boat will need an event ticket as well as your boat VIP pass???

jetgofish 08-10-2004, 4:15 PM

Stacy,

I say we just launch from Orwood and drive up, really it's not that far! I can give you some navigational tips!

(migitty) · (migitty) **Join Date: Aug 2001** 08-10-2004, 4:34 PM

We did the boat VIP pass thing last year and the downside for us was that you couldn't get to shore to walk around the event. Plus, the wake from the event boat made it hard to keep the spectator boats from hitting each other. Take lots of bumbers. Just my .$02. We did have a lot of fun.

Where is everyone staying? Will there be hoards of BoardStock campers at Tower Park?

(h20diva) · (h20diva) **Join Date: Jun 2004** 08-10-2004, 4:39 PM

lzyboy - I was told "no" on passes, unless you wanted to get into the event.

Teri - Good idea, that was my thought, but you know He's got other ideas!!!!

(aaronlee13) · (aaronlee13) **Join Date: Jul 2001** 08-10-2004, 4:52 PM

this year i'm gonna see about going by boat... and skip tower park all together

jayreese 08-10-2004, 7:12 PM

Stacy you can try Paradise Point, Ladds, B&W, Tower Park, Pirates Lair all within a half hour of the port and all easy to get to.

(zipe) · (zipe) **Join Date: Mar 2002** 08-10-2004, 8:03 PM

FYI: From their web site:

"Parking Passes do not include admission; you must also purchase an Event Ticket. "

Everyone on the boat need a ticket as well. Once in the course, they do not control who goes on shore from the boats. The boat, houseboat, and VIP parking are just adders, not admission. Also keep in mind that the Boardstock folk are from Washington State, not from the area and probably don't know the area as well as a bunch of us on this site.

(sbboarder) · (sbboarder) **Join Date: Feb 2003** 08-10-2004, 11:07 PM

Last year when we were on the water, we needed a boat pass and everyone on the boat needed a pass ($20) We hungout until they made us leave. We floated further away, and could still the event just not as well. It was not worth all that money.

(wakewilly) · (wakewilly) **Join Date: Aug 2001** 08-10-2004, 11:28 PM

Move Boardstock back to Shasta or lake trinity or one of those up in northern california. (white trash won't drive that far) I've been waiting patiently for the event to be moved and it still hasn't happened. It just keeps on getting worse and worse. HOPEFULLY, someday, it'll be the way it use to be when it was at shasta. I'll keep on waiting I guess.

Chris

(dakid) · (dakid) **Join Date: Feb 2001** 08-10-2004, 11:57 PM

yeah chris...waiting's all we can do at this point. i've been waiting for 3 years now. the problem is, so many people that don't even know what wakeboarding's about attend the event. the promoters and such see nothing but dollar signs. so, they'll keep havin' it.

(greatdane) · (greatdane) **Join Date: Feb 2001** 08-11-2004, 12:16 AM

Last year I was watching the riding while sitting on the edge of the wall...

Suddenly I notice a ribbed condom floating through the water a few yards from where the riders were headed.

Classic Stockton Boardstock.

(jarrod) · (jarrod) **Join Date: May 2003** 08-11-2004, 6:57 AM

Dane, I was there and saw the same thing. This kid was swimming right next to it at one point.

Nasta!

(above_the_levee)

Chris,
As far as the white trash comment, c'mon dude, Redding ??? Hello, yeah they won't come that far beacuse they are already there !!! Atleast Stockton has some reputable citizens. Anywhere you go, you are going to see the Nascar effect. Why don't all of you gripers put your own event on and show the losers at boardstock whats really going on.
I was working the rig for Spy Optics a couple years back and never harrassed more to see a pass than by the promoter, that lanky blonde guy. I would drop some time and money to put on a first class event. PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOU MOUTH IS, LET'S DO IT !

(jarrod) · (jarrod) **Join Date: May 2003** 08-11-2004, 12:28 PM

Guys, check this out. Now we have to pay to park at Boardstock! That's it for me.

"Jarrod,

The parking lots across the street from BoardStock belong to the City and/or private parties. We have been told by the City they will NOT be available for use during our event. They said cars parking there could be towed. So it sounds like the free parking is at least a few blocks away. The VIP parking we have is actually attached to the grounds of our event.

Thanks,

BoardStock"
