I just got back from an incredible weekend at Bullard’s Bar Reservoir in Northern California ( www.bullardsbar.com). We had about 20 guys from the Sacramento area, most of which were from my riding crew and a few more from our extended crew of DRA and CIE . We had a few CWB Faction Team riders, a few Norcal Hyperlite Team riders, a few Off-Aixs Board Shop Team Riders and a whole bunch of guys who just love the sport and represent it the right way. Before we start posting all the pics, stories, etc, I just wanted to say thank you to the people at Emerald Cove Marina. The houseboat we had was killer and their support of our local Sacramento riders was incredible. Billy at the marina is the guy you want to talk to book an epic vacation, in a top of the line houseboat, on an amazing lake. They have a few different model boats in every price range and even a timeshare houseboat… which I am thinking about joining! The whole point of this weekend was to get together a bunch of riders who all know each other but don’t often get the chance to ride together. I decided to see if we could pull this off, and with help from my close friends Shon G (Off-Axis Board Shop owner) and Jarrod Corby, we did with incredible success. I recommend riding crews everywhere plan a trip like this. It builds and strengthens friendship through our passion of riding. We had guys from all ages and all walks of life coming together to ride, party and ride some more. Awesome weekend… So now let’s post up some pics! Big thanks to Riley Bangerter ( www.rileybangerter.net) who was there taking pics all weekend long doing tube shots, chase boating, and covert ops to the shoot the dam at night, as well as some of the guys snaping pics day and night. -UJ

Just got home an hour ago. Exhausted! Thanks to Mark, Corby, and Shon for organizing the trip, and to Emerald Bay for the sick boat, and killer service. I've done at least 10 houseboat trips since I started wakeboarding, and my favorite is still Bullards Bar by far. I've been on Emerald Bay boats 3 times now. Mission accomplished. I made new friends, got to know some of you better, and just had a killer time. I know we had at least 4-5 people shooting pics. I'll start going through mine right now. Riley busted ass harder than anyone. I have a new appreciation for the photogs out there on the tubes, freezing, falling off, swimming around, just to get the shots.

Yup, killer trip guys... Huge thanks to you, Mark for putting it all together. The only bummer was that we didn't get to go for longer. There was some serious deliberation going on today when it came time to head out. The stay or go home vote was a close one, but apparently reason and jobs won out to good times. Oh well. Great meeting everyone new. There were a lot of guys there that I finally got to put a face with a wakeworld screen name. That was pretty cool, as were the antics on saturday afternoon. Allowing all of us to hang out together shouldn't be legal, but I know there are some great photos that came out of it. Riley... Killer job, bro. You've got a ton of creativity to get different shots. Plus you've got Shon's wifes name tatoo'd on your chest, so you're definitely alright by me. Ha, ha, ha. Kyle, a surf set almost happenend once. It was midnight and Riley had some shots he needed to get. In the end it got aborted. LOL!!!

Looks like a good trip. And looks like there is still enough water for some late season camping trips also.

Here are some of my favorite moments of the weekend; 1. laughing so hard when CM was poking fun at Corby's "work Out" routine that my head and gut hurt and eyes were tearing for what seemed like forever 2. chase boat driving watching Brodie and Al cross ropes, then both at same time cross back and go huge. 3. seeing Brian's HS5 to switch HS5 4. seeing Josh do TS BS 1, backroll and HS3 after blowing up both knees, one last summer and the other the summer before that. 5. seeing Brett do everything right on his HS5 but ride it away and Brian M do the same on his scarecrow. 6. me doing some serious good work on HS BS 1... maybe I'll land it w2w soon! 7. me taking my first tube shooting session... that was freaky...thought I would be the first to crash into Riley. 8. Corby's wake for the tube sesh... it was insane... the biggest wake I have ever hit... a straight up elevator shot! 9. Norton's dirty dirty grabs on his TS3 all going down in HD. 10. waking up Sunday morning to "That baby don't look like me" !

Yea J-Rod. the link works. I think if i hit those steroids before that acid drop from the houseboat I may have been able to pull it off. Maybe a gym membership to strengthen my arms before the next trip

What a weekend!! I want to give a HUGE thanks to Bullards Bar & Emerald Cove Marina!! Without their support we couldn't have pulled this one off. If you haven't had a chance check them out for you next house boat trip. The lake is one of the best Cali has to offer. Also want to give a BIG thanks Riley Bangerter! The shots are looking killer Bro!! Now for some Highlights... 1. Rollin the HouseBoat out on of the marina and seeing nothing but a lake full of glass. 2.Mark laughing so hard I thought he was guna pass out. 3. Riley droping his beer in mid conversation (twice) 4. Al gettin some Sand Wakin in. 5.Riley passin out Vodka shots at 8am. 6. Callen Dock starting of the top of the HouseBoat. 7. J-Rod doin some Gangster Fishing. What a Great weekend! I think we all decided to call this trip the "Annual Weiner Weekend" Cant wait for next year!

Is it bad that I had to think back and say 'When did I pull Matt?' Oh YEAH it was Saturday. The drunk driving, and the yelling match between Brodie, Riley, and Matt on which way the upple-dub should go for the best disapeearing light! LMAO

HOLLY just remembered the CWB secret testing that happened on Saturday. Allen was testing out top secret new boots for the Navy Seals and I think they are a success If J-Rod can get the Video up it is AWESOME. Just watched it on your FB. Just for you Riley ROFLMAO

Sorry Mohondro, but I own an X-2 and I will still say the sexiest boat evar is the X-Star pounded. And I was even going to say I liked the pic above where my graphic is halfway underwater, and Mark's boat sinking. I guess they are all sexy

Any wake boat slumped is a sexy sight! Is anyone else super tired! I think I may still be drunk! I would bet $100 Matt still is! (Message edited by steezyshots on September 21, 2009)

I will say I do think Show Me (Corby's X-2) wins the biggest wake award for the weekend on the first night tube set. 3400+ lbs of ballast and lead and 5 or 6 guys plus pulling me and a rider that thing was SLUMPED! Note while i was shooting behind the bonecrusher i was paying more attention to photos! So I could be wrong
