Zuka, the 20 mph is now my new speed for foiling, not wakeboarding. (They bumped me up from 19 without telling me to help me go W2W) I still wakeboard at 22-22.5 mph.

Well I'm on my feet but still having back issues. It's gonna take a miracle to help me ride on Saturday. I'm about 70% right now and I'm gonna hope for the best. Either way the family and I with Ken in tow will be there Saturday.

Hey Steve we are heading Saturday morning. I'll see you on the beach. Someone please pray for my back cause I'm still only about 75% better. Still have a ton of cramping pain all over my lower back.

Jim, I'd like to say just dose-up on the Advil Saturday morning because you only have to tough-out one run up and one run back, but I definitely don't want you to Zukowski it. So I guess for now just keep resting that back and maybe you'll wake-up Saturday good to go. All north riders are going to get red event shirts and all south riders are going to get blue event shirts. So even the people who aren't riding in the contest can support their team and declare their allegiance by wearing their team's color! And all southern riders...be sure to check-in at the South Jersey Wake Army Headquarters.

hahaha jim. pop like 5 of those vicodin they gave you and go throw down your run. You will probably destroy your back and spend the rest of the winter on the couch, but at least we will win a largely insignificant belt and 0$ in prize money.

I'm going to try my hardest to ride Saturday, my biggest problem would be can I get up when the boat pulls. I had an MRI Tuesday and got the written report on it today. BAD NEWS. The report says I have a couple disc protrusions with disc material migrating inferiorly and also a nerve impingement and some left lateral disc herniation and something about nerve root problems. ALso I have an annular tear also. So my back is a mess and getting worse than it was at my last MRI 3 years ago. I'm going to make an appointment to see this back doctor they says is the best in NJ at the Rothman Inst. My appt is in like 6 weeks. So basicly I can still ride in between flare ups for now but my flare ups are getting worse when they happen. This one is the worst I have ever had. If anyone is looking for a Xmas gift idea for me, a new back would be great. LOL. No matter what happens I will see you all Saturday. Between JB,JOE F and Charles I know there is no freakin way the north will get any goods points in the outlaw division. Maybe I could use that wakeoff belt as a back belt to support my bad back.

Jim, that MRI report sounds real bad but hopefully the specialist will have some good options for you. Whatever you decide to do, we support you 110% dude! Just keep in mind your friends here want to see you ride a ton next year and many years after. Can't wait to see Brittany ride for the women of south jersey! You go girl! See you saturday!

Riding behind my Nautique he hit a heel 7 off a double-up. He landed it cleanly but he missed the second handle pass, and that's because he was wearing over-sized rubber monster hands. Perhaps a couple of south team enforcers should throw Ryan a blanket party right before he rides. Steve H, I see we share the same wake surfing technique.

Yes, somehow I got talked into riding in the old woman's division. I heard a lot of "don't worry, there won't be anyone else in your classification" and I fell for it. Either way, I'll be there to represent the geezers. Go South!

Was an awesome day On the beach. Got to talk to alot of people. Congrats to Jim and his daughter for lookin great. Ken you looked nice out there with some bad ass power slides. Joe def represented the south nicely in the outlaw division. The only thing that sucked was I didn't make it off the standby list I was ready to ride and didn't even get wet. Oh well look out next year cause I am going to tare it up.

The 1st annual Wakeoff event was an awesome day. First I have to thank Ryan for all his hard work putting this event together and congradgulate him for pulling it off. The event was great. Then I want to thank all of Ryans friends and family for all of their help on Saturday to make this event happen. And then I want to say way to go to all of the south jersey riders that came out and rode and also our friends and families that came and cheered us on. Way to represent south jersey wakeboarding.Congrats to all the winners from the south which I think went like this: Kids Div.1st Connor 4th Brittany B 5th Ant man Beginner 4th Jim B Girls 2nd Michele 4th Annette 5th Candice Masters 3rd Dave W 4th Brian White 5th Ryan Weaver Outlaws 5th JB Heres is a link to my photos of the day http://s272.photobucket.com/albums/jj187/wakejim/?action=view¤t=d8e10946.pbw

Hey guys! I also wanted to echo the sentiment of the great time had out there at the Garden State Wakeoff! The site was awesome, the conditions were perfect, and the wake was great. Props to Ryan for putting together the best contest in the history of New Jersey wakeboarding. I also want to take a moment to thank my pit crew of Kevin Geary and Brian White for assiting me with my flat tire. I really appreciate the help! And lastly, I'm already looking forward to the next Garden State Wakeoff. And let's hope when poeple are picking a team to ride for, the choices are "North" and "South" and the soon-to-be-added "Other"! Ha! The South has learned of the North's devious methods of wake warfare and we will be better prepared!

The Garden State Wakeoff was a BLAST! Thanks to Ryan and all the LHM crew for putting together a fantastic day. Yes the South didn't fair as well in the competition as we all hoped, but I staying true to the nature of the contest, nearly ever rider from the South team, DOES actually ride in NJ in some lake or other body of water. We're not bitter though...and are currently planning for our victory in 2009! Here are my pics! http://www.smugmug.com/gallery/6045731_8nns7#378741974_XJ49Q (Message edited by wakescene on September 23, 2008)

Rumor has it that Michele was sticking wake-to-wake heelside frontside 180s and wake-to-wake halfcab 180s today on the creek. Congratulations Michele! Nailing new moves is a great way to wind-down a season. Way to go!

Oh man. I'm not Winterizing until November and I've been planning to board straight through October. But these 45° nights are making it kind of challenging to look forward to a weekend of wakeboarding! Does anyone remember last October's unseasonably warm weather? It was a great way to wind down the 2007 season. This picture was taken on one of those warm days, exactly one year ago this weekend. It looks like Brian forgot to take one of hs bindings off.

Oh man. Is it really the second week of October already?? We haven't had The Super Air out since some time before Wakeoff, so Doreen, Connor and I are planning to hit Bordentown this Saturday. Who knows? If the next couple of weekends are lousy, this Saturday could be the last time out for 2008. Where did this season go? I talked to Craig and this year's Surf & Offshore Christmas party is on Saturday December 13. Mark your calendars and dig-out your Santa hats because it's going to be another good one!

There used to be a guy in Avalon that everyone called "Pumpkin Head" but his real name was Scott. JB may remember him. Not sure if he is still in Avalon but he had dreadlocks on the top of his head, not a actual pumpkin.

It may be mid-October, but it was a great day on the river yesterday! I had The Super Air and Kevin brought his Happy Too Mastercraft for it's annual river visit and we had a great time! Yeah, water temps were in the mid 50s, but once you got past the intial shock of jumping in it wasn't too bad. Connor and Cole just straight trunked it! Then during the midday raft-up, polar bear Connor was swimming and playing in the cool water like it was mid July! The water was looking exceptionally clear too. It was a good day on the river, and if I don't get out again, it was a good way to close the 2008 season.

Alex, be careful when you openly declare the 2008 season as being over. It's been my experience that something very bad happens shortly thereafter, but you and Doreen should know that! Just got back from Signapore where I watched the World Cup Wakeboarding event there. Dallas Friday kicked some serious butt and Phillip Soven won for the guys. I got to ride a cable park over there and it was cool, except that is was in salt water right in one of the busiest shipping ports in the world! And KG, I know Pumkinhead well- in fact, that lummox broke the mirror in my boat about a month ago! Lumpy Pumpkinhead...

Well it’s been about 3 weeks since the Wakeoff and I'm already starting to think about Wakeoff 2009! 1st off I wanna give a mega huge thanks to everyone that came out to Lake Hopatcong that day, helped out, or even anyone that stuck around to the end and picked up trash off the ground, basically what I’m saying the event would not have been possible if people didn’t lend a helping hand! I can go on and on about all the support I received that made the Wakeoff come together but I could go on for pages, so I'll save all the mushy hugs and kisses for a rainy day post. All and all things went relatively smoothly there were a couple reports from some panicy wakeboard fans standing in long lines at the bathroom that almost erupted there bladders, smudgy finger prints on the protective glass that held the Wakeoff belt, a lakefront home owner that lives on the opposite side of the lake miles away mistakenly herd JB on the mic and thought it was a (garden state bakeoff) and of course the on going epidemic about the out of state riders that allegedly sandbagged it for the North Team but that will be sorted out for Wakeoff 09' At the last meeting the board of Wakeoff Trusties talked about having a live draft (fantasy football style) for all of the non Jersey wake boarders so Teams North and South will have equal amount of riders on each team. I even herd my mom along with a couple other people make comments about how cool she thought all the South Jersey Riders/fans were, but again she didn’t read all the smack talking that was going on before hand Haha. Although both teams were out for blood battling it out of the championship Belt at the end of the day my thoughts about New Jersey wake boarders was reinforced…..They ROCK!!

Yes what an amazing day Saturday in Bordentown. Thanks Alex once again for convincing me to come out and disregard my troubled financial situation. Money comes and goes but days like that live forever. I'm going to take JB's advice and not declare an end just yet. If I haven't had to wear a wet suit yet then there are many more months to come. We'll see. It was really good to see Brian & Annette & Kevin & Anthony rippin it up! I give him the vote for most improved of the summer. And Conner learned a valuable lesson about food conservation. Peace ya'll!!

What an awesome day on the river yesterday. We launched at 11am and rode till it was to dark to see which was about 7pm. I had 4 big needles in my back the day before and the doctor said to do nothing for week but rest the back. But I just could not resist the perfect weather yesterday and for the most part my back did ok yesterday. Some jackass hunting ducks along the banks was shooting out over the river as it was getting dark and the shotgun pellets came down in the water all around the boat in the water. I was gonna drive over and beat his face in then I remembered he had a loaded shotgun in his hand.

Hey Doug, good to hear from you again. Hope all in well down there. Jim, wow it sounds like a scary night on the river for sure. I'd be real tempted to call the state police next time if I were you. That's nothing to take lightly. On a more positive note, check out this deal at our friends @ Sandy Point Marine. http://www.sandypointmarine.com/searchengine/Details.aspx?diid=1833773&bvdid=18541&type=ANB&ind id=1&sortCol=Length&sortDir=DESC&Category=Sport%2f Ski+Boat#

It doesn't happen too often, but I did get out and ride behind the boat on my birthday yesterday. Even though the wind was whipping and the air temp at the start was in the 40's, some of us found smooth 60 degree water near Florence. Thanks to Woody, EJ, Charles and Scott for coming out yesterday.

Dave, good to hear you found flat water. I was down at my boat cleaning and working on electrical stuff and getting ready to make it winter ready, for more riding. I would have come but I was just burnt out from 10 straight days down in Florida and the lack of a good wetsuit just pushed me over the edge. I think I am gonna do a full day either Saturday or Sunday if anyone is interested. let me know

I still haven't Winterized yet and I'm hoping to get the boat out at least one more time before I slam the lid on the 2008 season. I really want to field test some work Off Shore Marine did last Saturday. It's supposed to be rainy on Saturday, but I'm hoping for some clear weather on Sunday. Want to hear something funny? The 2009 New York City boat show is happening December 13 to 21, 2008! http://www.nyboatshow.com/
