Hey folks - I'm going to be in Orlando for some business at the end of April and am thinking about sticking around for an extra week, with the chickita. Would like to get some riding in if possible. If anyone is in the area shoot me an email jnovak@rim.com

Cheers,
James

Whats up Alter? Long time no talk. So your heading to Orlando. Thats sweet. I just got back from Florida. My Fiance Is living just south of Tampa for the winter on an externship for school, so I've been down a bunch of times. I'm heading back first week of April. To bad we won't be down the same time, we could've hooked up for a set at a camp. I rode alot when I was down there. I went to a couple different camps and learned a bunch of new stuff. Hows the Tige working out for you? We will have to get together for some mid-week riding this season. Good luck in your search? If you have any questions about some of the camps I was at feel free.

boardstiff - What camps did you check out? The weather seems to be finally getting nicer here - hopefully spring is close around the corner! Can't wait to get back on the water... it's been too long!

nicer weather??? Its a balmy 0 today with freezing rain...i guess its better than -15 with snow.

I love the mid-week riding - its what keeps me going at work. I'm down for sure in the summer - Maestro if your around its a fun time.

Brian - did you end up getting the new boat? The Tige is pretty much amazing - couldn't be happier with it.

When I'm in orlando I'll probably just hit a camp or 2 but I would have liked to get some casual riding in as well.

Alter Ego - that's what I meant... I'd rather have it 0 and raining and not -20 with the wind... just makes me know spring's around the corner...

Not sure what I'm up to in the summer - I think I'll be back at the camp I've been at the past few years... it's a good time... but thanks for the invite - I might have to take you up on it at some point...

Maestro... I went to a camp near Clearwater called McCormick Ski & Wakeboard camp. I didn't stay there, just visited a bunch for the day. It was a pretty layed back vibe (just the way I like it), and I learned alot. I also went to OWC. Rode the cable, aswell as behind there boat (a 226) best wake I've ever ridden.

Alter... No new boat yet. Hoping to make a move by the end of this season. I'm still riding behind the old Nauty. Can't wait for the season to start. I'm hoping to get alot of riding in during the week, so don't foget to bring your gear home from the cottage.

that old nauty is a beast....biggest yellow-ist boat i've ever seen.

I'll have the stuff in waterloo for during the week for sure - looking to add a few toys to the collection (skate and surf board).

I'll probably just end up at OWC - but will need to do some research about the camps in the area - I'll be sans car so they will have to be relatively close to the resort area.
