In Raleigh most of the time now.. Home lake is High Rock but I ride Falls a good bit as well. Pretty much wherever I can be on a board! Myself and a few others from the NCSU club were riding Hexagon every day and then East Coast Wake Park as much as we could make it out there as well.

Fayetteville, mostly ride on Jordan and Harris, just depends on wherever I can find a ride. Mike I'd love to come out and ride with you next season; I'm a professional mooch so always good for gas money and helping out before/after as needed.

im down for a harris lake wakeboard meet and greet, maybe we could start some type of organization, club, or at least regular get togethers to hang out and advance our skills, maybe even rotate it, they allow camping at jordan lake we might be able to set up a weekend camp and grill out throw some back and have a blast all weekend long

Def down for that. I need some better people to ride with too. Its sad when I'm just starting w2w and I'm the best person on my boat. Never gonna learn jack with hacks

Harris would work for me even though we've got a minute before it warms up.

All joking aside theres 2 or 3 people who have gotten way more interested in the past year but without someone in boat pointing out issues and pushing us its not gonna get much better. And everyone likes to have a lil bit to drink

+1 on the g23! I am defiantly down for a ww meet up. We suck at wakeboarding but we try! I picked up a cream colored older vlx at the end of last season, I drop at Barton's creek.

would be down for a meet up for sure! I am very much a beginner but im learning, and having fun. Its very difficult to progress as a college student with no access to a boat however, so a meet and greet would be so sick.

whats goin on just saw the nc roll call so here I am! I ride at falls, harris, kerr, gaston, belews, norman, and wherever the weather is good! I started this summer and all I want to do is get better. Don't have a boat yet but thats about to change before the season. Hope yall have a good holiday season and hope the wake elves are good to you!

Wow, definitely turned out with a lot more riders than I would have though. I'm getting excited about spring time already!

+1 about having someone out on the boat to push each other. I still ride scared when it comes to working on inverts but having someone else around throwing them makes me less of a sissy.

Joel we do alot of morning rides (2 or 3 of us). Feel free to shoot me your info. Could always fit another rider if you don't mind not riding in a G23 haha

Bring the G23 for rides and ill bring the strippers!

Looks like a ton of bartons guys which is awesome. I've got a friend with a place up at hyco too. Should be some early march riding up there. Nice dock and private boozing cove.

yeah this is going good, when i first started the thread i didn't think i would get this many results and responses, i consider myself to be a beginner to intermediate rider and nothing special, but i sure do have fun doing it and want to progress to the local celebrity, lol, jk guys, all in fun and i do have fun doing it, falling, jumping or just riding, its all a blast to me, sounds like we might have some good turnouts this year if we plan them good, harris i think is more kind of in the middle of most people responding so it seems like that would be a good start to the meets, then we can rotate them of course to try others as well

I'm always looking new people to join me at home. I've got an 07 centurion enzo 230. I'm always looking to get some serious riders that want to get better. I have had some tournament quality guys at the house in the past but they've gotten a little older and it's harder to get them out there. My place isn't the biggest in the world but it's nice being the only boat on the water, and I'm not against riding a little this winter. I don't think I'm going to winterize my boat this year as long as the building its in stays above freezing.

Earliest I rode last year was first week of march at hyco. Hot spot is killer when air temps get to 70+. We rode like 2nd or 3rd week out at harris without suits and trust me my balls were lodged in my stomach for a week minimum.

my girl slaloms and likes the tube more than anything. Got her on a board at the end of the season and think she is hooked. Getting her a setup for xmas. Another couple rides with us every weekend and she is far more persistent about riding than he is.

Sounds good. Name is Cory. I screwed up in the registration process and put down my first name. I've got an x9 so its not the best setup on the planet but its outfitted fairly well with a good system and bags.

I agree that Harris would be a good meeting point and maybe even an earlier meet at hyco for some heated water would be nice. I thought about some falls meet ups later in the year since there are some decent float coves.

Jared if you are cool with a novice rider coming out who is serious about getting better I could sure use some help on improving. I've been super slack on pushing myself to improve. I'm about 30 min down the road and always throw gas $ and beer. Just need to get a new suit

sorry jared, said william but met to say jared, but yeah i definately gotta link up with u and check your spot out, im not all that great but hell sounds like we can all get alot better this summer and progress, i vote for harris to be the first meet spot for us all, but we will see if everyone else is cool with it

I'm always down to meet up and ride. Camping at Falls Lake is a blast and it seems from my observation that Barton's Creek is very popluar here on WW. We could tie up somewhere and hang out and run a few boats up and down the creek.

I always see wakeboats but nobody ever stops to say what's up! (I'm guilty of that too though)

either way, I am always down to ride. I can either bring gas money or pay it back with a pull on my boat at a later date.

Cool Raleigh area has several lake options, wish I was closer, and William, skyla is an awesome board if u can find a good deal, gander mountain has skyla on sale from 399 to down to 199 right now in size 129, good size for her and that's a pro model or overtons which is same price and same company.

Count me in for any type of meet up. I am fairly new to the sport of wakeboarding but love it. Want to get better and improve. Just bought a 2008 Supra 21V and can't wait to get it out on the Lake. Girlfriend is more of a salom skier but trying to get her on a wakeboard this year. As I mentioned before I live just 30 minutes North of Raleigh so even Harris Lake wouldn't be too fa of a trek for me.

Dont do like I did this past winter and smoke an impeller with the fake a lake hooked up. I have some friends that really like the sideswipe exhaust when they get a few beers in them. If only I had installed the new rev 10s with leds during the daytime I might wouldnt have had the party in the boat that night in the shop. [

Strickland/lead mine here over in bridgeport. bright yellow mastercraft 209/x9. We usually ride on the other side of the 1st bridge when you take your first left out of bartons or are over at the redneck beer cove floating.

small world. Iso (chris) used to come out alot. Between when I blew his ear drum out on a tube and nikki seperating his testicles from his body he stopped coming out. PJ never leaves his house so he's awol. He may also have a case of testicular seperation. Heard his sit in a jar on the bedside table though

LOL I hang out with them both every now and then through a mutual friend who I happen to wakeboard with out on Harris (the blue boat in my big timeline banner or w/e they call it). Actually, the dude I wakeboard with (George) works with PJ. I think PJ lives in Fuquay now.
