I'm jealous bro...I don't get to ride on that kind of water too often. I'm looking for a great lake like that to ride in Wisconsin, so if you or anybody else knows of one...please let me know!

Hey Chris, we haven't had the opportunity to meet, but I'm sure we will this summer. Thanks for starting the new thread. I'm all for it! I'll have to visit Boone Lake again, for sure. Hey Rodney, Marvin & Ed, We still intend on joining you guys sometime on Cherokee. Hey Nate, I'll come by and see you guys and check out the new gear sometime. Hey Brad, how's work going? Later all.

Chris, You near the Devault Bridge? How's the shoulder doing? Went to the Doc Monday and have to wear the sling two more weeks, that's eight weeks total! Started PT and it is going well. The sleep thing is still killing me. Not so bad during the day, but man when you lay down it's brutal some nights. Ice is your friend!

Mike, I am nowhere near devault bridge, im closer to Pickens Bridge. I live right around the corner from Rockingham Boat dock. From the TVA ramp its about a 7 minute boat ride. There is usually great water in my cove or within 5 minutes depending on who is riding at the time. There are a couple guys that ride in the same spots so we share good. I will try and post some pics of the new house, we tore down the old one late October and are building a new one, lake property on Boone is just to hard to come by and we had a great lot. The shoulder is getting alot better, still tight at times, and sore some but it takes time. I am done with therapy as of last Thursday. That view from Cherokee looks nice!

Rodney, Chelaque Estates is where we will be. I hope to be up again in early summer. I'd like to catch a ride or two. I'd be more than happy to supply $$ or gas. How do you like your Avalanche? I've ridden behind a lot of boats but not one of them. How much extra ballast do you add?

It has the factory 3 tanks and there is 3-400 in the bow.still playing with the wieght thing and my dealer is putting a hydrolic wake plate on to fine tune things. Be sure to keep in touch when you come down .Its only bout a 10 min drive to german creek by road. Are you moving here or just down for a getaway ?

Thanks Rodney, I'll be giving you a call soon for some contactor information. As soon as I have plans on coming, I'll forward you that info also. If your ever in the central Florida area, please feel free to contact me. We only live on two private-man-made lakes with near perfect condition most of the year. Water was 72 degrees last weekend! Awesome for February

How's the water situation over there? VA is still under for the amount of rainfall for the year, which sucks because we still need to makeup for last year's shortage. I barely got my boat out of the water at the end of the year. But I remember seeing some photos of TN and the lakes were crazy low...like 15ft low.

Dan - We have had some decent rainfall lately so the water is actually starting to rise. Sweet boat in your profile. Craig - Every time we get to FL. we end up staying busy. I'd love to get down that way and actually get to ride. Did you sell your 220? Seth - Yeah...I'm ready for it to be officially over too. I have not even made it to the mountain this year....I just have no desire to go anymore, not that I wouldn't go, but I just want summer to come.

water is coming up fast here on cherokee.Another month and we call it summer down here ....water is still a little cool but once your up on glass you tend to forget about it. Nate you got another one calling you on a ride. I will give you a call tomorrow. Sounds to me like we need to visit Craigs pad with that 60 degree water. Even my wife is fired up and ready to get on the water.....already she is giving me the rules on the boys on the boat--no loud radio--nothin stupid....guess that leaves marvin out !!! just kiddin bud. talk at you guys later

Rod - I know, I know man.....I think I just get a kick out of making myself suffer, it just really makes me appreciate everything about wakeboarding. I love a new season, to me it's like innings in Baseball or quarters in Basketball, it gives me something like a deadline to meet, so I think the off season really makes me think. Ok, there's my .02. One more thing Rod, I think we are going to the factory on Fri. any way you could get off? I know it's short notice, but that's what we get from the factory.

Oh how I am jealous of all of you. I sometimes wonder if I will ever get to move back home to Church Hill some day. I grew up spending time on all the great lakes of East TN but mainly on Cherokee, Norris and South Holst. I can only imagine how things have changed since I moved in 96. Hope to visit the parents this summer and make a run over to Myrtle beach. Thanks for the post so that I can see how things are back home. Would be cool to meet some of you guys out on the water some day. Good luck to all of you and have a great season.

No such luck Brad, you should see this guy. When we all went to Orlando to ride his butt would be asleep before that big ass head of his hit the pillow. If anything he is keeping them up with all that snoring. Nate, what's up? Hope I can make it to this boat show! I tried to make it to the Knoxville show but had to come back twice!! Stupid job and responsibilities. Punch Pat in the arm for me. I hope everyone is doing great!!!! Chris and Mike, how are you guys coming along? Stay safe everyone, hang in there spring is almost on us!!!

Water has been is the 70's and most days, the air temps have been high 70's to low 80's, we haven't even been using wetsuits. I know what your thinking, wetsuits!! If you live down here, you put on a wetsuit as soon as the water is in the 60's. Anyways, hope to meet some of the riders in the area this year. Craig

I live in Palm Bay Florida, I also own a lakefront piece of property on Cherokee Lake. It's has been very warm overall winter with the use of a wetsuit only on a few days this winter. I'm hoping to do some riding up at some of the lakes in your area over the spring/summer months. I'd see your on Norris Lake. Anyways, if your ever in Florida, we're one hour from Orlando and live on two man-made private lakes. Water conditions are un-believable.

MANY THANKS to Pat, Nate, Shaun,and anyone else on here, that helped me to recover four of our wakeboards, that were stolen from my backyard shed. Without the assistance, chances are great, that I would've never recovered the boards. Thank you Ed, for calling, and for the boating invitation. Brandon & I will take you up on it soon. Brandon and I look forward to seeing all of you on the lake in 08!!!

I went to Muddy Creek to watch the bike races and thought to myself, I bet ED and crew are riding today!!! My young neighbor , said "let's get the boat out!" , as Patrick Henry was pure GLASS! Re-winterization is not my idea of fun. I actually thought of selling the boat as this shoulder thing has really been a, "B----" to deal with and fear of re-injury is really on my mind! Well glad to see you guys had a great time. Later MO
