Congrats from a former Minnesotan (Maple Grove). I unfortunately will have to pass on the opportunity to have a kneeboard war with Andy however, seeing as how he would probably snap my 160 lb frame like a toothpick :-)

congrats nintzel! i know i've given you a lot of crap in the past, but fact of the matter is, you rip dude!

my favorite part was reading how you enter contests and not win 'cause you ride them as if you're freeriding. awesome!

Congrats Andy!! Nobody on this site has any idea who I am but I've learned more in the last 5 months about wakeboarding than I knew in the first 24 yrs of my existance, and that is all thanks to guys like you. At first I thought this site was a bunch of people like me who didn't really know much. Little did I know that some of the top people in the industry (Like you Nintzel) were on this site. You were the first person's profile I ever looked at and that was what got me hooked. You sounded like you really know what's important...FUN!! That's me in a nutshell. I live in Iowa so I relate to the short season. It's cool to see you can board anywhere.

The bottom line is I post a lot of questions that seem like no brainers to you guys....yet you still take the time out of your day to help a schmuck like me.

Thanks Andy.....and thanks WW

Sick to see andy. Way to bring some pres to the local spots. I have net you a couple times, I went to high school with Sean and still keep in contact with him. We rode with another friend for about 5 years. Kinda got hectic ever since, but I got a new rig and am stoked to get out with him again this year, you should hit us up too. I usually ride owasso. Congrats and check ya later.

Congrats Andy,
Wish I could have found you guys to ride with when I was at St. Cloud, riding those first and last couple of months before and after classes ended/started would have been nice. I kept looking at the Mississippi thinking I could probably tie off to a bridge and try to board there, never found anyone to ride with up there :-(

But that was from '95 - 2000 so ... it just wasn't as popular then. Oh well, i get to ride all summer now, congrats again
