Natman · Addict Joined: 13 Jan 2006 Posts: 873 City: Eddy TOWN

its a long arm that extends in bc. Super deep like 400+ feet, last year when we were there our depth finder maxed out at 500. Super hot, somewhat compared to a desert temperatures hover around mid thirties or the 100 degree range. The 2006 mastercraft pro tour was there with riders like s.bonifay, a.rathy, harf, malinoski, webb, murray, Eisenhauer, sharpe, soven all the big names, it was a pretty big event. Anyways the okanagan is where its at. Btw ogopogo, i sent you a pm.

ogopogo do you have a white launch? I saw a white Supra next door to the place I rent last week. Think it was Thursday orFriday night? They went surfing around the area as well.

yup - red and white supra, and yes we do like to hang ten. Saw in your other post that you went out with Dustin. He is rippin huh?

Super cool kid and you should see him on the snowboard.

ogopogo,

Rippin wasn't the word for it. I think that was easily the best 15-20 minutes of boarding I've ever seen in person and I've been to the pro tour in Kelowna. Conditions are always poor there in Kelowna. I guess I'm saying he did far better in good conditions then the pros were able to do in the less then ideal conditions.

Ya, I've heard he's even better on the snowboard, if that's possible.

I think the Supra we saw was all white with a small back stripe or Supra swoosh? I don't think it was you then. We rent a place about 2 spots down from a cabin that has the palm trees on their dock. We're about 6-7 cabins from the Blue Herron pub.

Yeah we saw you guys. My boat is moored right next to the BLue heron, in front of the Pink condos. Dustin has such a cool snowboard style, even if is just a toeside 180 he makes it look very smooth and unique.

heres my boat and it is for sale if anyone is interested.

the depth of the lake is freaky, i always have the fear of knocking myself out in the water and sinking to my death

I will be in the area from the 5th to the 13th and am looking for a third. I'm staying in Omak, and will launch in the US, but will pick up wherever.

Have an '05 Malibu Vride with lots of opts.

Let me know if you are interested.
