Anyone have any experiences to share in regards to The Projects wake camp? I'm thinking about hanging out there for a day while I'm in Florida on business in January. Just curious as to how good the instruction is.

ONE DAY!?!?!?!?!?!!?!? Shocked

you have got to be nuts, you HAVE to go for a week to get the most fun. i went there in march and it was awesome.....i even went to murrays house everyday of that week and i had so much fun.....have fun when you go though...i know you will have a lot of fun

the instruction there is good also and teach you tricks based on what they know you could do without pushing your self too much. thats about it.

BTW, ask Patrick if you can go to murrays house that day too Wink

an done last thing Very Happy

Unfortunately I only have one day after my biz trip is over. Wish I had more time. Thanks for feedback.

Well if you're thinking about hitting up OWC, they'll be closed down from Jan 13-31, 2004 .

The Projects is awsome, you will have tons of fun and learn a lot also. Instructional is great, some of the coaches I had while down there where Keith Lindberg, Project Pat, and Scott Byerly. Also Brandon Thomas helps on sliders. He won 3rd overall on the wakeskate pro tour. If you go there you will want to go back again and again.

Thanks D. OWC was my first choice just because I wanted to see what the cables were all about. I called them yesterday and heard they would be closed.

If I could chose Projects or OWC I would defenitly choose the Projects. OWC is just a bunch of hype and really isn't that fun especially your first time there. I have been to both before.

thanks Haber. I hope Bylery is there. Would be cool to meet 'the man'. What up with OWC? Is is difficult learning to ride the cables?

Can anyone tell me if The Projects has sliders for beginners? I suck at them so it's something I need to work on.

Jarrod - I was down this summer and spent about two hours - it was all I could spare on the trip -
It was totally worth it -
Best time and money I have ever spent for wakeboarding -
The lake was in beautiful shape when I rode -
It is worth it - you are in for a treat if it is not busy - I had a one on one session -

UncleGianni,

did you like pat and keith? Laughing

they are hilarious

UncleGianni · Posted: Oct 17, 2003 5:13 am Post subject:

Pat was the only one there -
He was great -
I learned a lot from him in the short time I was there-
He gave a good history on the lake, the sport and gave me some excellent pointers - I was doing more by the end of the session that I had all season -
And I was wiped out at the end of 1 hour but just didn't want to leave -
At the end of the session I was so tired I couldn't even hold the handle anymore -
I barely made it out of the water and back into the boat -

I had also benn going to a camp in NH - with JDogg and Joe -

it was the funniest thing ever and yes they did have tomatoes Very Happy

he also yelled at me in the parking lot of winn dixie the previous morning of that with some hott girl and her mom there too and he yelled ''if you get in trouble at school today i am gonna beat your ass!'' he was just fun

Pat has a great setup out there at the projects and sometimes the pros are there riding.

They only use SeaDoos in the slider section -
They have a nice rig for the rest of the lake - I think it is a Malibu -
