We started the wakesurf season off this year with the Lake Norris Ice Breaker on April 20, 21, and 22nd. Join us as we wind down the season at the Lake Norris Season Extender. See the Ice Breaker Posts:

My entry:
http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/87668/497879.html?1189303404 I’ll bring three Trick Boardz, two Inland Surfers, a Broadcast 5.6, the “Light Stick”. I’ll give away a demo Cyber Shapes surf board as well. I expect that other riders from Ohio will bring a Shred Sticks Ja Mako, A two to three Walzers, a Walker Project Composite X, a New Wave Vehicles board, and more.
We’ll have a Centurion Avalanche and an X2 at the Season Extender. Unless there’s a lot of riders and since the Avalanche is such an awesome wakesurf boat I’ll leave my Mighty Centurion Lightning back home.
I'll drive down Friday, arriving before dark. We plan to start from the Spring Dock Resort Saturday morning. Sunday morning we’ll meet out on the water. In the evenings we’ll either hang out at Roy’s or if the group is large will hang out at one of the resorts. Here’s some navigation info from Roy:
“Norris Lake is located in Lafollette Tn. It is easy to get to Norris. You take Interstate 75, 24 miles into Tennessee and then exist. The two closest resorts are the Shanghai Resort and the Spring Dock Resort: http://
www.shanghairesort.com/ and
http://www.springsdock.com/. The Marinas are full service marinas. Accommodations should be easy to come by this time of the year and the rates are around $80 a night to stay at the marinas in a small condo/cabin or motel. Larger houses and condos can be rented for a larger group.”

This is going to be an informal gathering of wakesurfers, though we might set up for wakeboarding if there’s any demand. I know we have a pretty good crew from Ohio heading down to that land of sun, fun, and untaxed liquor. So let’s enjoy summer in October and beat the heck out of winter.
