LOL I hang out with them both every now and then through a mutual friend who I happen to wakeboard with out on Harris (the blue boat in my big timeline banner or w/e they call it). Actually, the dude I wakeboard with (George) works with PJ. I think PJ lives in Fuquay now.
Yea I met george and his girl at Iso's at a few times. Shorter guy who sucks at cornhole if I recall. Think he said he has a centurion. Actually going out with all of them tonight for some beers while the hens cluck

we'll continue with this thread and email as well!

you should create a fake-ish facebook profile. Just use a fake name and don't put in any personal information that you don't want anyone to know.

I'm in Raleigh and ride at Falls/Barton's Creek as often as I can. Most of my friends are intermediate boarding, surfing and slalom. I'm addicted to all three. Look forward to meeting some new people and progressing next year. I'm definitely down for some early Saturdays at Falls and maybe a camping weekend (maybe coordinate when Overton's is doing a demo).

I usually kick off the season with Wake N Flake. It's a good time and a good cause. Here's a link. http://www.wakenflake.com/

hey guys and Mike, I live right around the corner from Harris Lake and am there all the time on weekends and after work. I have 01 Air Nautique we load down with fat sacs. I ride a Slingshot and Liquid Force. Always looking for more people to ride with and share taking out boats. Im putting my boat up for sale beginning of season to get a super air as well.

what color is your nautique, prob seen u out there in passing over the summer, mine is the black and white nautique with the rediculously loud stereo system, i posted another thread with pics of it in the boats/tow vehicles forum, ill prob have a new g23 or tige next time i hit harris though, been trying to decide between the two, yes i know the g23 is bigger, better, etc, but i also like the rz2, hopefully i can decide soon

She's lying, she actually has a 1994 bass Ranger outboard that we ride around in while listening to an iphone. On top of that her bass boat loved to eat cameras which can really ruin your day as well.

Just got back, 10" the day before alta, 16" the night before brighton, it was great. I even crossed over to the dark side and tried out a snowboard on the last day. I've also realized that on both snow and water rails are still the devil and the bane of my existence.

Hope we can get a bunch together for http://wakenflake.com ! It is Saturday March 2nd. Last year we had 83 boarders. This year will likely top 100 with additional dealers involved plus 2 cableparks (Hexagon & Jibtopia) This is our yearly fundraiser for http://waketheworld.org

What would be a good lake to do a houseboat trip on? I'm wanting to throw something together late April or so (depending on weather) and I'm trying to find a good lake for riding as well as renting a houseboat. Anyone have any good/bad experiences?

Smith Mountain Lake, VA is great for house boating and riding. The water might be a little chilly in late April, but less boat traffic to deal with. We rented from Parrott Cove two years ago and had a great time. I try to get up there a few times a year...

Hey William,

Sounds like fun but don't really know my way around Falls Lake. Where is Redneck Cove?

Here is a map. When you come out of Barton's you will take a right at the only building on the lake. There is an island right there. Make sure you stay to the left side of the island if you like your prop.

Just found this thread. Weather tomorrow looks crappy but wife and I might head up and check it out. We're in Charlotte and ride Wylie.

Just found this thread as well. From Greensboro, N.C. here! We typically go to Badin, Hyco, or Belews (Belews for real short rides during the week). I am always down to meet up and ride with a crew though! Recently Purchased an Axis A22 so I am trying to get all the riding in I can before the seasons over!

Ask and ye shall receive it seems...

Looks like some folks are going to be out on Falls this Saturday and Harris Sunday. Falls is a little bit tougher to meet everyone if the water is decent and people are riding all day, but if it gets busy/choppy I'm sure everyone will catch up and hang out for the afternoon.

Harris is pretty small for the riding area so if you head out your bound to see/meet everyone else.

Facebook event is up but it's closed right now, I asked the creator to make it open and I'll post a link when she does. That will be the easiest way to talk with everyone that will be out.

Which ever lake is fine with me. I live in Greensboro but I have no problem commuting to Wylie, Falls, Hyco, Norman, or anywhere else for that matter. As Far as the Facebook goes, that link didn't take me to the event, just my events page.

hey Chris we'll prob be out saturday depending on water and if we go on a hyco trip. If you come out can you bring the girls vest? I'm not sure how 3 chicks who rode in 1 boat had the same vest. Blowing my mind

Derek, not sure why the link isn't working. The event is called "Falls and Harris wakeboard/surf weekend " so you may be able to search for it and join as well.

Cory, sure thing. Katherine has it right now and mentioned that the sizes got mixed up. I'll try to snag it from her before she heads out of town this weekend and have it on hand Saturday.

I can't find any of the good pictures on Facebook right now but we were out Saturday as well as Thomas up on Falls. Had some riding in the rain (but the water was glass) and some side by side riding which made for a great time. Sunday was down at Harris with 4 boats and pretty great weather.

A few folks will be up on Falls friday evening/night, hopefully after the traffic dies down. Then camping out and riding first thing in the morning on Saturday. Should be a great time!

I'm desperate to find somebody to come ride on Thursday nights after work my crew has all but disappeared. I ride at Oak Hollow lake in High Point NC, its the prefect lake to wakeboard on because they don't allow jet ski's or tubing so the water is always glass. But they require 3 people to ski so with just me and my wife its not enough. Hit me up if you want to ride.

Derek it shouldn't be to far for you.

We ditched you and started a facebook group. Remember? LOL Sorry. A lot of active members there have been hanging out on Fall Lake. Make a facebook account (even if it's fake and just has the name Mike NC) and post up over there. Come out on Falls and have a good time. Wake08 above comes out all the time and he's down at Fort Bragg too I think.

I'll definitely be planning a meetup on Falls Lake as soon as the water warms up.

Def need another meetup. Falls is sitting at like 40 degrees so I'm skeptical of when this crap is gonna break. Could always do a hyco trip when the air temps decide to get above bone chilling

I'm going to ignore that since I received no call, text, telegram, carrier pigeon, fb message, ww message, or short wave radio message as an invite. But seriously that sounds brutal

Also anyone in raleigh area know a good aluminum welder? Have a tower with set screws that I'm particularly sick of messing with and want to weld up

What's that, we're on a Tom boycott now? I'm all for it! Enduring the cold in a dry suit would definitely be worth it to get a little riding in before it finally warms up. How's the new ride treating you anyways?

Mike rides at Jordan for the most part last I remember chatting with him, I could never convince him to come up to falls and join the party. Maybe with a little more peer pressure he'll give it a shot.

Cory - I've got a buddy that does some welding in his spare time, I know he welded up a trailer really well for hauling his bikes long distances (custom bike stands, shelving...it's impressive). I'll check with him with what he can do and get back to you in a few days.

That'd be awesome. Other problem is trying to find someone mobile. Not sure if the tower is gonna fit in the back of the truck to transport it. Gonna look into it though

Congrats. Would love to check it out sometime. We were supposed to be boat shopping now but can't get people out of my pockets for the wedding. I won't get into you and Alisons reasons. Thats between you, alison, and your wife jk
HAHA, not even going to go there on your last sentence.

F the wedding. Let's demo some boats! Make sure you get out to the boat show!
