I'd love to go. Looks like it might be a little warmer next weekend. Unfortunately I work rotating days off and this was my last weekend. It'll be another month before I've got a weekend off. Looks like it might be time to have the boat winterized and store it.
I might see if I can take a couple days off, just so I can get one last run and try the new board out. Keep me posted on what you all plan to do.

I'm definitely not going to make it. Weather looks like it's going to be a little cold for my blood since I don't have a wet suit yet. On top of that I just pulled some muscles in my neck working out and can barely hold my head up.
Looks like I'm taking the boat to get it winterized tomorrow. The temperature at night is starting to scare me a little since I have to leave the boat outside until I store it for the winter.
If nothing else I hope to keep in touch with all of you over the winter. I'm looking forward to having plenty of people to ride with when it starts to warm up next year.

Lowdrag, sorry to hear you got hurt.
I'm with you on the cold. The leaves on the trees are still green and only just starting to turn. I suspect (and hope) this is just a cold snap and there might be some season still left but dont take any chances with the new boat.
I was on ebay this morning looking at wet suits & dry suits. If your interested in finding one theres lots to choose from with over 400 listings. I was seeing prices starting at 99 cents (looked like something Jaws might have barfed up after a dinner). I found a couple full suits that were advertised as only being used once starting at $15. Ya might keep an eye out for a deal because I think were all hoping to start the season early next spring.
I'll definitly stay in touch

Hey as long as the lake isn't frozen we can ride right? Okay it was a bit chilly last weekend but we still had fun! Although I think it might be time to get my own suit...looking forward to ride tomorrow...
Lowdrag you should meet up with us anyways

I like wakepics attitude!
Lowdrag, I totally understand it if your not feelin well. I expect to get a run or two in on our new boat before the season over (I'm pushing it I know). If you dont have a suit let me know your size. we have lots of friends who are allways willing to loan to a just cause. In fact I think were going to start buying suits off ebay- all sizes just to have extras around for friends.
Next week is supposed to be in the 70's and I think we all mentioned a sic day?

When's the new boat supposed to arrive? Definitely post some pics when you get it.
It killed me to leave mine to get winterized, but it will probably be good news for the rest of you because I'm sure that now I've done it we'll get some really nice weather.
The one good thing about it was I got to see the '04 Mobius XLV that the dealership has just gotten. It was awesome. Looks like it will throw a huge wake, unfortunately it's definitely out of my price range or I might have traded on the spot. But then I think I'd have to get a different truck since it just looked like it would be more than mine could handle.
Thanks for the concern all. Don't worry though, just some pulled muscles. Starting to feel better already.

I wouldnt have even known this was wakeboarder.com if it wasnt for his profound insight. Tyler* Moore your one sharp tool!
the "find a pull" forum where we get together, make new friends and meet up at the lake for a good time..
Northshoreboardshop.com
Jetpilot.com
two more stores I can cross off the list that I would have otherwise considered doing buisness with.

Well, once again, no can do. This is the absolute worst time of the year for me as far as work goes. Mandatory overtime on Saturday from about 8 am to 3 pm and thats right after I get off of my normal shift.
Wakepics,
Other than the cold water, the river should be great right now. My home town is withing half an hour of the river and my friends and I used to spend all our time up there. The only problems we ever had was that it used to get pretty crowded with drunks and jet skis on the weekends. Used to go in the mornings and then hit the sand bar when it got crowded and then go at it again a little later in the afternoon. I definitely plan on spending a few weekends at my parents next season and heading up there with some old friends. One of the guys I used to ride with it pretty well set financially and gets a new boat every couple years. Last I heard he was riding large in a new SANTE.

Man, you all are making me sick. I need to get one of those 9-5 Monday to Friday jobs. This whole work thing is seriously cutting into my play time.
On top of that, I pick my boat up tomorrow. Too bad it will be winterized and minus the prop. Probably a good thing the prop is in for repair or I'd be tempted to try and take it out this weekend.
If only the weather could hold out two more weeks, I'd be back to having some weekends off.

Hey you never know...they say it's an indian summer....We plan on riding as long as we can. I think the rule is if the air temp is 50 or above we ride! Maybe you can make it to the lake sometime soon. YOu could always be sick..cough, cough, cough...
