The Bonnet Carre Spillway is the closest and best ride spot in the area, we use that mainly, the Pearl River and intercoastal waterway in Lafitte/crown point (Chris’s waterway but he’s up the canal in belle chase closer to city) are our go to on days where raining at Spillway . But by far for ease of getting to, lack of boat traffic (it’s a poor man’s waterway), snd that it is straight snd tree lined with slope bank shores for wave/wake absorption.
Gus I left a message about riding snd surfing on your phone. Chris was with us in the Spillway the last two weekends. We aren’t even using suits it’s been so warm.
Gary , I post a standing invite to all TMC and Axis forum members. Our ride spot is 45-50 minutes in bad traffic from downtown or the fairgrounds where they hold Jazz fest (not just jazz, huge acts, 7 days over 2 weekends of our best weather), 20-25 minutes in no traffic, even our alternate ride spots are close, pearl river a few more minutes , we literally Dodge the rain and go where it’s not raining . Cajun X cables , a very good circular wake park has ridiculously good features all around the circle with at least 2or 3 basic kickers, very cheap as well for a full day, bring your system bindings for the walks when you fall or clip some flip flops in your vest for barefoot skating or non system bindings when you fall
We have 3 WELL developed money river systems on the north shore of Lake ponchartrain, but their only good during the week .
New Orleans is surrounded by water and great spots, Spillway is super deep for surfing as it is 20+ by the Bank , riding wake absorbs and doesn’t bounce back. But all of the spots are really really good
So we have 3 low traffic easy to get to spots . There are some more on West Bank like
