Kim,
If you don't mind me adding on to your post, I am also interested in finding this info out. I was up visiting a client in Seattle and am considering making the move from CA. I am extremely new to wakeboarding/wakeskating/wakesurfing, however, I dig it so much that I don't want to give it up.
Any input on the WakeBoard culture and riding environment up there would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

Hey Clinton thanks for chiming in...where do you skate out of and what kind of board?

Dean...the culture up here is great. kind of layed back and boat owners tend to find a good crew that works for them (friends & others) and then add people as they need. where are you thinking about moving to? around here some go in the winter too. you can get a dry suit and add booties, gloves and a hood for having the lake pretty much to yourself when it's off-season (around Oct-March). anymore questions and you can always shoot me an email. good luck and if you do move i can add you to a locals group list i have...you too Clinton unless you already are there :-)

Come on Andrea, you dont suck. The season is pretty much over Kim, but we are always down another wakeskater if you want to ride with us next year. We also have a Hyperlite Catalyst, Cassette Flat, Liberation, L13, and two Integritys you can tryout.

(girlwhoboards)

yes please and i'm still up for getting in the water if there is a need for a third anywhere. ps Andrea...i have the most talented friends that ride bmx and they still think they suck. the important thing is you are out there trying and hopefully having fun along the way :-)

Just bought a HL Karma skate. Never wakeskated before in my life, but going to try it out next season behind the Sea Doo. We're on Lake Sammamish and have a Malibu for boarding and Sea Doo is going to be for skating. Look us up if you want to go out.

(girlwhoboards)

yeah i want to go out now...so let me know when :-)

thanks,
