Wish there was a way to ID WWer's at the lake

You go out to the lake and cruise around, get to some cove and see other boats around. You don't know any of the boats but, you could know the people in them.

Wouldn't it be cool to pull up to a group of boats knowing they're fellow WakeWorlder's? Share a beer a story and possibly a pull?

I have the fix-all. Everyone on wakeworld needs a giant pirate flag.

(phideltcraiger)

How about wakeworld flags?

Yeah, Aaron has it pretty figured out. We're not to in-cognito either with our huge CIE graphics on the boats.

WW flags would be pretty cool and easy to see. Too bad the spotter flag has to be orange, otherwise that would be sweet.

We could even have a design contest where fellow wakeworlders could vote on their favorite design.

I guess it would probably require Dave to coordinate everything. We will have to wait and see if he is interested in it.

Edit: Stickers are cool, but some people like to have a plain boat.

If you guys are ever on Hartwell (or maybe Lanier since I went there last weekend for the first time in a few years) and you see a POS Maroon and Gray Galaxy out there pulling around a very hairy 230 lb male in his mid-20's, you know it's Dante. Since I pretty much have the only Galaxy that hasn't rotted apart by now, I should be easy to spot. Another clue will be if you see an ugly homemade pylon jutting out of the boat. I'm still working on it but am trying to have it done by the weekend. Stop by and I'll give you a beer if I still have one available (and you're of age).

I don't have anywhere to put a flag since we don't require them around here.

I don't have a boat, but I'd wear a bikini with the pirate symbol on it! Until then tho, just look for the female version of Blake, cuz I've got the beer and crashing parts going on!!

Another way would be carry a bullhorn and shout at all the other boats as they went by. "Hey are you a WakeWorlder!" That is of course if they don't have a pirate flag and know the secret handshake.

theres always at least one person in every boat thats out wakeboarding on wakeworld, so you should just pull up to everyone and share a beer!

with that said, ive met a few people out at anderson from WW.

(goinbigg17) · (goinbigg17) **Join Date: Jul 2002** 06-15-2006, 8:12 PM

I know I have a bunch in the area, have yet to meet any of them though. It would be cool if there was a secret cool way to tell em all apart while on the lake though.

(ktmwakeboarder)

YES. I love the pirate idea, as you may already be able to tell since I have flown dual pirate flags for yearsss. I have a regular skull and crossbones on the left, and the "Surrender the Booty" on the right. I fly them on 2' metal rods attached to the outside of my speaker boxes on the tower. I even have a third flag, but don't know where to put it! Any suggestions? :-)

Tom, how are you going to mount those flags... are you just going to ZIP tie them or do you have a plan?

I want to fly a Cali flag.

I put that last one, "Time flies when you're having rum," on my friends tower at Boardstock last year, it was great

I may have to get a Pirate Flag too. The WW sticker is too obvious. I think the Pirate Flag can be like our little secret handshake. We will know what it means, but no one else will.
