Hello everybody, I would like to introduce my self and ask for help.

I come from Jax, Fl. where i spend my time off surfing. I enlisted in the army and realized the surf life was most likely over and it was time to find a new water sport. This was when one of my friends introduced me to wakeboarding. Once I finished basic training and my follow-on course I got back on the water and put a tower on my bow rider. It was great for about a year then I was introduced to wake boats. One of my flight school friends took me out on his Axis 22 Vandal edition with 2 added fat sacs in the rear and one added up front totaling to 2800lbs of ballast if all the tanks are filled. The first time I went out, his wake was intimidating in comparison to my little bow rider but ever since my boat just wasn't enough for me. Don't get me wrong my boat is still fun if no other boat is around. Then it was time for the army to send me to a new place, the great Fort Hood.

So now it is time to ask for help. I am single and don't know anyone here in texas, so that means no one to drive and ride with. Is there anyone that has a wake boat that wakeboards regularly on Lake Belton or Stillhouse that wouldn't mind me tagging along? I have my own boards, life jackets, and line(if needed) and i don't mind sharing them either. I hope to have it all here this week (still in the process of moving) and hope to get out this coming up next weekend. I would be happy to help with gas and boat clean up. I feel like a fish out of water!
