wb.com ladies trip to wakeboarding camp?

Lindsay

Rather than continuing to hijack the girls learn to ride thread, I figured it would be best to start a separate one. So far we have interest from me, P-Chick, and Bethany. Since we're all from the west coast I looked into a couple of camps that are out here:

http://www.ensanewakeboarding.com
5 days/6 nights there runs $1235, not sure about group discounts

http://www.westcoastcamps.com
5/6 there runs $1000 right now, but only through Aug 1, not sure about group discounts

The one I've been to is in Central Florida:
http://www.wakeboardcamp.com
5/6 runs $1100, group discount is $25 off per additional person

With any option, we could save money if we knew someone in the area where we could crash at their place and just pay the daily rate.

I've been to TWC twice and I can't wait to go back.

Where are these camps at? Any of them on the Delta?

The only one I know is that Ensane is at Lake Shasta.

I'd absolutely love to do that (the one at Shasta would be close), but we bought our boat this season, so I think it may have to wait until next season.

its a great idea

I'm definitely down for this also and I have 2 other girls who I ride with who I know would love to go also... We're all poor college kids tho so we could only attend somethin on the west coast, unless there was an awesome group discount... couldn't complain about spending some time up at Shasta, haven't been there in over 3 years Sad

Yeah, that sounds like a great idea. I would have to see if I could come up with the money though, but other then that it sounds like it would be a lot of fun.

I have never been to Shasta. What a great excuse to finally go. I am down!!

Dragonlady8 · Guest

Well I wish I could be back home in CA. But since I now live in FL I thought you guys might want to take a look here:

Ensane/Shasta Camp:
Pros: Can save money travel to camp by driving instead of flying. Also save money because we won't need a rental car. Could easily do a weekend or partial week
Cons: Can't vouch for the coaching; group discount a question

West Coast Camp/Lake McClure (Sacramento area):
Pros: See above. Also, reduced prices right now, best deal going.
Cons: Coaching an unknown; only runs through Aug 1

Nick & Julz (Central Florida)
Pros: The Villa, British accents, might be able to work our female thing, can do OWC and visit Phantom
Cons: Coaching an unknown; very spendy; add in plane ticket & rental car; would need a full week

The Wakeboard Camp (Central Florida)
Pros: Coaching is first rate, group & return camper discounts available, may be able to work the female thing, can do OWC and visit Phantom
Cons: Add in plane ticket & rental car, would need a full week

Ride The Spot (Central Florida) Darin Shapiro/Travis Moye
Pros: Good coaching, J*Rock just got back, limited number of campers, can do OWC and visit Phantom
Cons: Add in plane ticket & rental car, would need a full week

Nice try Funk Wink

Here's another one to check out ladies....similar pros & cons to the other central Florida options

Nick & Julz are the coaches from my understanding......it's their boat. Lot closer to OWC , Airport and Florida Mall. The Heany boys are pretty much the party animals too.
Depending on how many people there are you may just need a small rental to get a round. I have an SUV ( pathfinder).... so I can stuff all your gear into that to get you to and from the airport. Wink

Premier135Chick, here are the people that work at the camp at McClure, maybe you have heard of some of them:
Mike Schwenne, Jeff Myers, Josh Smith, Kevin Bird, Mikey Ennen, Brad Larkin, Josh Storrer, Steve Whalman, Cody Ramsey, Rich Facciano, Chris Dykmans, Mike McMillin, Derek Conway & more. Lake Mc Clure is near Don Pedro and New Melones if you have ever been to those lakes.

Josh Smith has a wakeboard camp (Nor-Cal Wakeboard Camp) at the delta (orwood). if you wanna stay local maybe you wanna check that out. He was on my boat for the girls gowakin event, and im sure he has other delta locals workin for him

Nick and Julz live on a good lake too, I ride on that lake all the time. They live in a little cove and the water is always glass. They have lots of sliders and a tramp, it's a nice set up.

FRANKIE · Guest

if you all are looking for a camp on the delta... there's one out at disco bay at the discobay wakeboard and ski center. here's the link...

http://www.h20skiya.com/

if i remember right, a couple of kaben's roommates work out there. so maybe you could hit him up for advice?

take care all.

I've been looking into going to a camp in Florida in November, right when it's starting to get cold here in Nor-Cal (probably TWC or Mike's Place...both came highly recommended). Very Happy

Lynsey · Posted: Jul 03, 2003 9:50 am Post subject:

I'm in Cali too and would love to go go a camp, money of course is an issue (po college student too). But I know my mom's freind who lives 45 mins from Orlando so there is no worry about finding a hotel and I'm sure she would let me use her car too Very Happy

I've heard good things about the camps. I'm down for a weekend roadtrip for riding anywhere in CA, NV or AZ.

If you guys are serious about this, it could be really cool. Are you ladies thinking Sep/Oct so we have time to get some money together? I just checked my US Air account and I could probably get a plane ticket on miles and then we could share a rental car, or if we're going near where one of us lives, that's another way to save $$$.

I'm getting excited about this idea!

Dragonlady8 · Guest

If you kids wanna head out here, that would be great. I just need to know so that I can put in for time off work......

Bethany · Posted: Jul 07, 2003 9:23 pm Post subject:

Sept/Oct would be great. I need to find some moola.. I have a serious problem with saving it... Confused

This is going to be way fun!

Geezzzz..... Confused

Sometimes I wish I lived near or in California or Florida. I would love to see some other chicas out there kickin it better than the guys.

Sometimes it sucks bein' the only chica. I am trying to get my sister in law into it and one of my friends... Twisted Evil

Hey everyone,
I live in the Foster City/San Fran area and would love to go to a clinic on disco bay. I'd like to make it before boardstock Sept 18th.
Has anyone picked a good weekend, or time to go?
I would love for my friends and I to join you.

By the way stay in college as long as you can. I've been working for 5 years now and I am still just as poor as when I was a student, only now I work 60-70 hours a week and have to beg for time off.
Live it up while you can.

Hey Kinky - I agree. Living in CA or FLA must be nice. The only camp that came even close to here was in Detriot this past spring. I'd imaging they spent most of their time dodging ice chunks in the water. Laughing

Lindsay · Posted: Dec 22, 2003 8:04 pm Post subject:

Bringing this thread back from the dead because my ACL rehab is going well and I'm starting to think about riding again. I would definitely like to go to a camp again next year. Not sure when, I'll have to see how my knee is feeling, but I'm thinking late summer/early fall when we're all in good riding shape. Anyway, just wanted to get you ladies thinking about a trip to camp so you can start stashing away some money after the holidays.

i would ressomend westcoast camps.Premier135Chick, i dont know when you went but i went in july and no water debris and the water was glassy most of the time. it occasionally got blown out but there is this one cove that stays nice all the time. the coaches are good, you stay on a houseboat the full five days. they have a massive collection of wakeboard videos. ummmm the only negative i can think of is that there were no sliders that i saw up there.

Dragonlady8 · Guest

Wake4Life08, The Projects is located out in the middle of NoWhere. I really don't think the Ladies will be ecstatic about playing video games as much as the boys either ( but I could be wrong)
It is a pain driving around that area at night and there is nothing near by for entertainment.
Just my feminine opinion since I've been out there.

The funny thing I find, is a lot of people that recommend The Projects on this board, have never even been there.

Dragonlady8,

the entertainment is pat...he was hilarious when i was down there....especially at the Winn-Dixie that was down the road....

whatever suits you but i liked it a lot.....oh well
