I'm in the process of opening up a Nautique/Tigé dealership plus a pretty heafty boardshop combo in the Jackson, Mississippi area. I was just wondering how many people would benefit from such a shop.

Thanks ya'll!

I live in Arkansas but I'm in the Jackson area like every other weekend. I will basically live down there this summer too. I go down there to see my girlfriend which lives in Madison. I would definitely be in there a lot since there is no boardshop here in Arkansas. I would definitely get my equipment from you. Where are you thinking about setting up shop and what would you carry?

I currently live in Atlanta so I don't know EXACTLY where I will be establishing my location. Hopefully close to the water. I will, more-than-likely, carry Hyperlite, Liquid Force if they get back, DoubleUp, CWB, JetPilot, Rip Curl, and Reef. I will of course have Accurate and Straightline and probably some slalom boards for those other guys.

Is the Ross Barnett Reservoir a good place to ride? Where else around Jackson do people ride?

Hey. Sounds like you may have a killer place. I would definitely be in there all the time, buying, helping out, or whatever you would want me to do. The Ross Barnett Reservoir is a great place to ride. Its a huge body of water. I will be doing most of my riding there. There is another smaller body of water just north of that called Lake Caroline, there was an INT tourney held there last year. I think you would do really well in the Jackson area. Actually, there is a Boat dealership going out of business in Ridgeland Mississippi, right on the Resivior. You might could hook up with them and move in there or something. Its in a great location. The name of the place is Power Boats of Ridgeland. 149 Harbor Drive, Ridgeland, MS 39157. (601) 853-1007. I hope I'm helping you. Good luck to you and if you need anything more, please come to me.

Jon, that helps SO much. I've been having a hard time finding where the sweet riding spots are and where a good location for my shop would be. Thanks a lot, brah and when I open my doors, I expect to see you in there!
