OK, i made a wakeboard tower for my bayliner capri, thats how much i like the sport, or how cheap i am, but how bad does it piss you off when you see people intertubing off of 30-45K dollar boats. Or even worse someone who cant get outside the wake on one of those. I want to shoot them all and steal thier boat. All you spoiled ass bitches i hate you!!!!

They obviously worked hard enough to afford those boats, they deserve the right to do whatever they want with them.

no but he is right i have a nice boat and when the ladies come otut we will tube. I can do plenty of inverts just because u see me one time out their tubing doesnt mean i suck at wakeboarding

They worked for it, let them use it. How can you say someone is spoiled for working hard to get the money for a boat? Half of the time the actual owner of the boat isn't riding, maybe they are teaching a new boarder.

These threads come up all the time.. they are so dumb.

OK fine, when girls and little kids come out we bust out the tubes. ya... i guess im just a jealous person.

gkoppboarder13, You said you built your own tower because you liked the sport so much, and that's awesome. But If your having fun, keep doing so, rather than worrying about others and what they choose to do. Maybe If you saw one of the expensive wakeboats at the Marina or something, go up to them and ask for a pull in return for some gas money or something. Spread the hype, don't kill it.

lol, your funny man, i aint killin nothing, im just going out there having fun, not doggin on anyone, im not an ass hole or nothing, but i just am jealous and want a better boat and im only 18 so i just have to work with what i have. i have props for anyone getting into the sport. i just get jealous i guess... thanks for teaching me such a great lesson, lol. FOREVER STOKED!!!

gkoppboarder13, I'm not accusing you of anything, but once again I got back to my last statement. There are alot of local wakeboard communities and riders who trade pulls daily. Why not try to find some riders with a wake-specific boat and go ride with them?

gkoppboarder13 · Newbie Joined: 13 Jul 2005 Posts: 17 City: Forest Grove

actually its because i live in forest grove oregon and theres no marina and its kinda weird when your there cause here not alot of people ask for pulls, if ya know what i mean. I would love to though, maybe if im in dallas sometime, id love to hitch a ride with ya

You don't have to be a good rider to ride behind a nice boat. As far as the tubing goes as long as they don't come where I am and mess my water up I don't care what they are behind. I started behind a 17 foot outboard boat, now I have a cross over ski/wakeboard boat and learning behind a bad wake teaches you to really get good technique if you want to land anything. Now everything is almost effortless.

im behind a 1979 tri sonic i/o with no tower, or weight, and a ski rope on top of all that, haha, i can still clear the wake easily though and 180's are nothin, when i see someone who has a nice boat that sucks it just makes me feel good about myself, especially when they have a tower and weight and i still am goin bigger than they are Very Happy

gkoppboarder13 · Newbie Joined: 13 Jul 2005 Posts: 17 City: Forest Grove

well props for you man, but dont you wish you could show off and have a blast behind an awsome boat like that????

gkoppboarder13, well i'm glad you've changed your attitude a bit but i am Bubb Rubbing sick of people saying stuff like that. It's SO Bubb Rubbing stupid to get all pissy about someone else's stuff. Who gives a Bubb Rubb if they suck or their parents bought it for them or what the Bubb Rubb ever. Bubb Rubbing get over it. and DavidHoff, holy cow thanks for all you said. Wink

gkoppboarder13, I'm sure they do it just to piss people like you off!

The old story of the have's and have nots....

They are having fun and you are NOT having fun! in yo face sucka!

gkoppboarder13 · Newbie Joined: 13 Jul 2005 Posts: 17 City: Forest Grove

like i said man, i am just jealous. I still go out there, do my thing, and have a blast with it, thats why im out there everyother day. If none of you konw what im talking about its probably because you dont know where im coming from and becuase you all have awesome boats that your dads bought. i guess i wasnt that lucky, maybe my dad just let me down. Sad

J_DOGG · Posted: Jul 14, 2005 7:06 am Post subject:

I'm 34 years old Bro... Daddy didn't buy me anything not even the lake house I'm payn for.

Contrary to what you might believe or think not everyone is getting stuff handed to them, most people I know work hard and play harder!

Yes, that's my 30K truck in my profile pic also....Daddy didn't buy that for me either. In fact Daddy didn't even pay for me to go to school I had to do that all on me also.

gkoppboarder13 · Newbie Joined: 13 Jul 2005 Posts: 17 City: Forest Grove

ya,then i guess where in the same boat if ya know what i mean, im 18and i im working 45 hours a week to get ready to pay for my college, hopefully when im done with that i can live on a house boat and have a rad boat 2.

chipsevila · Posted: Jul 14, 2005 11:47 am Post subject:

I worked hard and bought a $40k wakeboat at the age of 27 (o, and I had never wakeboarded before!). Daddy really never wanted to step up and buy one, but he sure likes riding on mine!!

Anyway, to each...his own. I just want to see more wake specific boats where I ride. Seems like there's no love for wakeboarding on that river.

You are 18 and you have a nice boat alredy right? I mean it floats and it will pull you on a board? QUIT worrying about it dude, most of the guys who own these boats are either;
A: rich from family money, it happens
B: work their assesoff and love boating so they psend alot of scratch on a boat
C: old and can afford to buy nice toys.

You are young, if you want a real wake boat you could have one easily, build your credit, work your ass off, save your $$$, and DONT BLOW IT ALL ON A BOAT, invest it.

A 30-50K boat is not something alot of people can afford, but I know die hard boarders who got 3-4 guys together to buy one boat. If Wakeboarding is what you love you will find a way. I am even thinking about moving to be closer to better water year round Smile

So the answer is it doesnt make me mad at all, tubing, kneeboarding, airchairs, or just doing donuts, as long as they know how to drive a boat and have resepct for other boaters I dont care what they do while they are out there or what they are doing it behind.....

take 410 advice, or try and be freinds with the people that have the nice boat just like i do it's great Cool

Ultimately it comes down to the fact that things are reversed with life:

Your broke when you are young and want to get mad skills at wakeboarding and live it up.

By the time you can afford to have a nice boat, lake house etc. your too old to really push hard and "go pro"

The best wakeboarders on my lake tube, too. They attach the the tube lines to the tower. They are out there with the speakers blasting have a blast. They can do flips and etc. I have a blast just watching them.

There is one wakesetter on my lake that id love to have. I can't get mad at them though because they are amazig boarders. There there is the other wakesetter and 3 peoepl who ride behind it. Not one of them can get ouside the wake which sorta bugs me.Then there is like 5 boats that have towers but arn't the super nice wakeboats, so im fine with those. But hey life isn't fair so what are you gonna do. I can do better then most people on my lake with my boat, and thats good enough for me!

Mitchell · Posted: Jul 19, 2005 3:41 pm Post subject:

I actully hate it 2 and I have a brand new Wakesetter, If I want to buy more they might be sold out from people that suck that are buying them, so say If I want to go buy 3 more wakesetters and they only have 2, cause they just sold one to someone that sucks im gunna be pissed and prolly rob the place. so I F'in HATE IT.

Nice reply J DOGG!!!

So you guys are pissed that someone with a nice boat sucks on the board? Maybe THEY'RE JUST LEARNING! I just bought a nice boat (used), and this is my first season boarding. So yes, if you look at me now, you'll say, "He doesn't need that boat!" But in the years to come? The ability should start to fit the boat. So my message is... Give some people some time!

And even if they "suck" forever, or just tube, so what! Its their money. And as for those rich people buying up all the boats... C'MON! That makes no sense at all!

J DOGG. I'm in NH too (currently at Bow Lake). Where do you ride?

DavidHoff · Posted: Jul 20, 2005 9:29 am Post subject:

Exactly. When we bought our first inboard, I couldn't clear the wake, and look where I am now. I'd say the boat has helped me, especially with confidence, to progress.
