I'm less than 10 miles from UT hahaha. most of Utah and the parts i wake in are in Utah... barely. but yahh. no mountains like up north
The buddy i got now is the kind i have been lookin for since i first learned about wakeboarding (only took 10 years to find)... problem is that only makes two Local dedicated wake guys. Both of us have tried making posts and groups on this site and other sites to potentially add to our crew... nothin. Im the only Local that posts on this site regularly. sometimes it is easier to go out and thumb rides at the dock and beaches. even while i was in utah, attending BYU, thumbing rides seemed to work better... ohh well. maybe it is just me, my luck.
Im not sure if I am core enough/dedicated enough to go out when there is ice like you and several others on here, that is just crazy. I am about as dedicated to being warm and comfortable as i am with wakeboarding.
