they are all afraid of us out west. . . they know we will throw the smack down. lol as to your question I think its hard to find a place that is simi close to an airport where they can have full water rights. Some lakes I know will refuse the sliders exc. Even though there are some great lakes out here they are VERY FAR from an airport.

I didn't go last year, but Reno the previous year was SUPER fun! I might have to make it out again this year. And, yes, I wish they would try harder to get a Cali stop included in the Pro Tour. I'm sure it wouldn't be the most profitable and it would probably be a complete pain in the butt to get all the rights to a location. However, it just seems like a state that should be included considering more wakeboards are purchased here than anywhere else in the world.

I would rather keep the reno stop then give it up for a Cali stop. That location rules.

Some of what I have heard is that the economy in Cali and the lack of dealerships with money to get on board has prevented the Tour from doing the west coast swing. Reno was a stretch but because of the other amenities they kept it in. Plus I am sure the distance from east to west and all the driving they have to do to get the equipment to the west coast has something to do with it as well

Joe Bell Aqua is like maybe 4' deep and won't produce a pro level wake.

I agree the Reno stop is awesome. Way better than in Fort Worth. Not complaining I love having a stop so close, Sparks is just a lot of fun.

Man, I'm starting to take our DFW stop for granted. I haven't been the last couple of times because it seems like it is here every year. Knock on wood!

I'm still holding out for a Washington stop some year. A lot of the board companies are here, don't see why they never have any pro comps.

Nick, they held the Malibu Pro Team challenge in Eatonville WA. last year. It was pretty fun, but to far out in the middle of nowhere to support a tour stop. Green Lake park in Seattle would be perfect.
