Just wanted to comment on the two latest ramps at OWC. There don't have pictures on their web site yet, which seems kind of lame after the work and expense of building them. One is a smaller version of the big white curved ramp that's currently out there. The difference is that it's really steep and gives you quite a boost. They've moved the "Cheese Wedge" to the other lake. The new curved kicker gives a vertical boost bigger than the cheese wedge but is less abrupt and kinder to your board. It's currently located as heel side for a regular rider. The other obstacle is a flat ramp with a upper rail on the right side. The ramp is fairly gentle. But the foot wide second level rail is a hoot to hit. It's the same angle as the ramp but more challenging as you have to cut into it to not get pulled onto the ramp. It feels like you are flying pretty high when you come off the rail. It's located heel side for a goofy rider.
