Hi. I'm in Minnesota and am heading down to Fort Myers, Florida next week to visit my parents. Are there any places to wakeboard down there? I've tried to look up places on the internet, but haven't had any luck yet. If anyone could help that would be great. I've heard about alligators being a problem as well. Thanks.

There's a new cable park down there

LucyCasey, getting injured by an alligator is about as common as getting struck by lightning, it's really nothing to worry about. I second what ridininmd said, check out the new cable park

LucyCasey, I probably only get bit by gators once every ten times I ride. It is not really a big deal, just a few missing fingers and some hospital bills. It is what we get for warm water!!

gators are a small price to pay for water temp being near 75 degrees this time of year

LucyCasey, gators are nothing. what you really need to be worried about are death serpents. Some people call them "manatees".

Dont let anyone fool you, they ARE man eaters.

I have heard of cable parks, but it sounds strange. So there really aren't any lakes to go wakeboarding? I know what manatees are too.

That's too bad. It might be fun to try the cable park though. Is it fun? I don't really know how to do any tricks yet. I can switch, that's about it.

Nice. Good to see people offering up a ride to out of towners. If I had the money I would take a few days off and come down to revolution cable for a vacation. It's about 35 degrees here and supposed to get down into single digits tonight. Rolling Eyes

tcwake, way to go on sending out the positive vides. Good to see riders coming together to share their stash.

I know a guy who rents a Nautique with a sick wake in Port Charlotte, which is about 45 minutes N. of Ft. Myers. PM me if you're interested.

LucyCasey, if I lived there, you'd absolutely be welcome to come out with me, good luck with finding a set.

P.S. If anyone's ever in Austin in the summer, look me up, I'll always be riding. I know there's other Austinites on here too, but I'm always open too.
