I am interested in starting a wakeboarding club. I reside in Jackson, Michigan. Would anyone be interested in a group like this? This group can be for a social gathering, finding others to ride with, teaching/training sessions, plan social activities, Build ramps and sliders and anything else you can come up with. I currently have a 2000 Super Air Nautique that can be used for pulls. If there is any interest for something like this, shoot me an email with your thoughts. My email address is finless139@hotmail.com. Thanks for checking this out.

hey there, Just wanted to let you guys know that Parkshore Marina is taking applications for their '06 wakeboarding team, called Team Tigé. We have a water show coming up June 23-25 on Diamond Lake in Cassopolis, and will also be doing other travelling for competitions throughout the southwest Michigan area (including Kalamazoo, etc.). Our demo boat is a Tigé 22Vé. You can check out the Tigé website here: http://www.tige.com Click on 'Boats', and select the 22Vé to see pics and info. We're also interested in any ideas you guys have on building rails, and rail-slide competitions. We'll have Parkshore Marina reps at the South Bend Boat Show, with Odessey Pontoons, and we'd love to meet you in person and talk more about this opportunity. If you can't make it to the show, e-mail me ( arkshoremarina@gmail.com">parkshoremarina@gmail.com ) or Steve ( stevenmooi4@msn.com ) or call 269-445-5079. I'll look forward to hearing from you. -- Grace Eby Parkshore Marina

What’s up everyone! Glad to see this post has generated some talk. I just closed on my house this week and it has been crazy. I’m all for getting a group together to ride or trying to get some sort of riding club together. Derek, thanks for the post. I will be down for riding whenever you are around. Itch if you want to set some dates I will be down for that. If you need/want a place to ride at, I have a decent spread at Magician Lake. Thanks to everyone that has posted on this so far. Send me an email or post any ideas you have about riding groups or clubs. Thanks Just some background info. My home lake is Magician Lake, 45 min SW of Kazoo near Dowagiac in the Sister lakes area. I just moved from Kalamazoo to Jackson. I have a brother in Rockford, north of Grand Rapids and I work in Ann Arbor, so I am up for riding anywhere.

Matt Z, I am typing this from Magician lake! I actually have two places on the lake - one I own with my family and one that I bought last year. Where is your place? -Keith

http://www.wakeboardmichigan.com/ will be launched this spring. It is will consist of online forums, free classifieds, picture galleries, etc.. for the local Michigan wakeboarder community. We will be putting on local events like Halloween Washout, Spring fling, etc... that are free for everyone to come out and board behind new boats, meet other WBM members, and hang out. I can't wait. Maybe we'll all hook up this year. Bryon

Matt, I live outside Toledo, OH. Northwest Ohio. We usually go on the Maumee River here in Ohio. I also ride frequently on Devils lake near Adrian, MI. Think the club is a great idea! I'm down for sure.

Matt, I am friends with Jake and would be in for riding with a group. If you wanted to extend it into Ohio.... The river he mentioned is glass 24 hours a day.. I have a 2000 Kamberra with plenty of ballast and if any of you guys make your way down here I would be happy to offer pulls. btw, can us Ohioans join the WBM? or is it privy to Michiganders?

OK so all this talk has had me thinking I will be the first who is up to meet in Battle Creek on June 10th (you can come in on the 9th) On the 10th we can ride at the bigger public lake and when it gets busy we can move to the private lake in the afternoon where my parents house is and grill,flost,surf. Then in the early eve ride till dusk then if you all stay in town we can ride Sunday morning. Well who is down? itch

Drove by the pits today. A little open water, but it would wreck the hull to break through enough to ride. River looked OK, but that wind - I bet the wind-chill was single digits. 6 more weeks.
