Pacific Northwest Riders

[Matt_E]

This thread is for the riders from the Pacific Northwest.
Wiki defines that regions as" an area that includes part of the west coast of United States and Canada, including southeast Alaska, all of British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, Idaho, western Montana and northern California and Nevada."

Feel free to make suggestions otherwise.

I'll start with myself....Name's Matt, I am in Colfax, WA.
I ride mostly in the Snake river, and the Columbia river (some).
I gots 2 Superjets.:Banane01:
Here's a couple pics from my regular riding spot. It sucks.
Most often, I'll be below the damn, right by that marina.
On Weekends, I usually go above the dam, as it's much warmer water.

[RACRBOB]

Not really a NW Rider any more but here are the places I miss riding...

1. Vantage, WA... Closed for camping now, but was a party place to ride.
2. Lake Sammamish... Was 15 minutes away from my house.
3. Lake Washington... Coulon Park PWC course near Boeing plant.
4. Snake River... Brings back WSU JS550SX memories.
5. Hood River... Fresh water waves and fun night life.
6. Lake Tapps... Official sign summer was coming.
7. Lake Chelan... Official sign summer was here.
8. Willamette River... Portland is a fun city.
9. Lake Coeur d'Alene... Golf and skiing!
10. Richland, WA... Raced a couple of times. Met a lot of cool NW riders.

Honorable Mention:
*** Westport, WA... It was cold but fun.
*** Moses Lake... Sand dunes and skis.

I miss the NW summers, but love the AZ winters.

Matt - Living in Colfax? Is it still the speed trap capital of E. WA? I had a local cop pull me over for 3 mph over in downtown. He let me off with a stern warning. :rolleyes:

[willycrumb]

Man....snake river looks perty. I rode in a private pond in Blaine once. I'll hit ya'll up next time Im up visiting family and MattE can kick my butt with wit.

Sorry for posting when Im not a PacNW rider. Just had to comment on the perty river.

[Matt_E]

Hit me up anytime. I always have a spare Superjet to share, and beer & food to boot.

[Snackem]

[Snackem]

Matt sorry that I missed your call tonight. I REALLY wanted to go out and flop around in the water while :hail: you ripped it up :notworthy: but I had to help Sam and Christy dig a trench for their water main:biggthumpup: boy was that fun. Anyway I'm headed out of town tomorrow night so I hope that you guys have a great time on Labor Day. When I get back we'll have to go out and tear it up.

[Matt_E]

Both me & Phill are riding this weekend in the Tri-Cities, on the Columbia.
Most likely Columbia Park.

On another note, the Scootney race is this weekend on the Scootney reservoir (DUH!).

[Phill]

Why didnt you think of this sooner???



And both of the skis should be back together today...............if parts come in:rolleyes:


If no parts come in I will only have mine running.:cheer:

[Matt_E]

They're both yours.

Why didnt you think of this sooner???

Sorry...it'd be hard to do with my parents in town.
The BBQ at the park is a very nice compromise between entertaining them and riding.

Oh, and you're bringing the BBQ.

[EvanB85]

Good Afternoon y'all

Evan here in Tacoma. I get out to Lake Steilacoom in Lakewood quite a bit; heading to American Lake after work today; I ride on Hood Canal near Belfair a lot too. One of these days I'll hit up the Narrows under the bridges (8 knot tides, plenty of big boats.)

Glad to see a couple more Cougs.

[Cannibal]

Hey guys. Just wonding if anyone knows where I can find, in Seattle, some of the generic under turf foam mat that people say is from Home Depot. Been to 2 Home Depots and many other stores in search, but can't find them. To be exact, they are the 1" grey foam pads with an interlocking edge about 2'x2' that comes 4 to a pack. Need to get this thing turfed by next weekend.

Thanks,
Steve

[Matt_E]

I've gotten that stuff from Home Depot before.

I'd just order the padding from Hydroturf.

[Snackem]

Hey Matt whose ski are you riding in your avatar?

[Matt_E]

That's Phill's ski.

[crab]

I want to organize a late September or early October freeride at the coast. Be thinking about it and we will start looking at potential dates. All will hinge upon the surf forcast, so keep watching Wetsand.com.

[Phill]

That could be fun!!

[Freestylin-FX1]

Hey just joined from spokane WA pretty obvious what I ride LOL An SJ will be in the future! But anyway hello all and I usually ride Newman lake at least once a week at least until my shortys not enough wetsuit LOL

[Snackem]

Who in the PNW is still riding and who's hung it up for the season? I know that I've still got a couple more rides in me before the end of the year and that Matt can't stop until he rolls his roundnose. Who else is there?

[dsolie]

I'm still riding, and will be at the ocean on the 28th!

[EvanB85]

Just got some neo boots from Oniell. New fullsuit on the way. The storms are coming on the Sound...

I'll ride until the skiing is open at Crystal.

[dsolie]

[Matt_E]

Going out this weekend....but the end is nigh (of the season.)

[EvanB85]

Swanny, where you from?

[swanny]

P town!

Crystal in a motorhome ROCKS!!! Love the parking lot....love the mt.....great hikes- love the vibe- not a poser mountain at all....killer place...

We usually hit it on the way to Baker and B.C....

I see you are in Tacoma. I use to have the "loft" as a major account- across from El Goucho- I like that italian restaraunt/casino on the water...whats the name? good poker...good food, good beer....not a bad place at all.

You ever get up to the northend? We will probably start riding Mukilteo and out on Whidbey Island soon, soon as the storms bring the good waves.

[WizzKidd!!]

Matt from Salem area Oregon.

I usually ride the Willamette or Fern Ridge res. Sometimes I go to Detroit.

I ride a 550sx. Yeah, I'm a student (read: poor).

[DBLOCK]

Hey Crabman! What days are you thinking of riding at Mukilteo? That might work out for me as a right after work thing...

Whidbey will have to be a weekender for me...

By the way, it looks like I'm working at least Saturday... Want to meet at Goodwin afterwards?

Hey, turn on Discovery channel.

[DBLOCK]

Drained the gas & blew the fuel lines out - I found a bunch of gunk in there. Rinsed the tank out & think I'll give her a try tomorrow.

I didn't pull the carb... Probably should have to play it safe. I've always got the 550 for Mukilteo if the 'ol SJ doesn't want to fire.

I'll definitely want the SJ ready for the 18th.

What's on Discovery?

[Matt_E]

Hey Crab....got my drysuit in the mail today. My season just got an extension.

[crab]

Hey Crab....got my drysuit in the mail today. My season just got an extension.Nice, when you coming out west? I am in the process of transfering some parts over to one of the other X2's, so I'm not riding a slug.

[Matt_E]

I'm working on it.

[crab]

My winter gear, Drysuit, 3mm Thunderwear gloves (ebay $9.99), 3mm Akona hood under helmet, 2mm socks worn under my booties. mmmm toasty warm

[Matt_E]

I still need to get a hood and decent gloves. ALso a new neck seal for the drysuit.

[DBLOCK]

Latex seals can be purchased online - $25 for a large.

Get yourself a can of contact cement. Replace the seal yourself - I'll talk you through it if you haven't done it before.

[Matt_E]

Excellent! Where do you get the seal for 25?

[crab]

Ebay has had them.

[DBLOCK]

I've just driven to the nearest dive shop... I haven't looked on ebay.

It's easy to replace a seal. You can do a search for OS Systems (might even be able to order glue and seals from them) for decent instructions. Here's the link for you:
http://www.ossystems.com/repair/repr.htm

For a neck seal, you'll need some sort of a form to shape the top of the suit. I use one of my wife's large glass bowls.

Use heat to soften the glue, then peel the old seal off (I'm assuming you have latex to start with).

I use some acetone to scrub the neck area, then lay the new seal into position. Once you have the bottom of the seal positioned exactly, roll the bottom of the seal back to expose the top of the neck area on the suit, and the bottom underside of the seal. Some people sprinkle talcum powder on to the top side of the seal before rolling it to keep things from sticking - I never have.

With the seal rolled up (not rolled tightly, just peeled back to expose the underside), apply one thin layer of cement to the underside of the seal, and the matching top side of the neck area on the suit. Wait until tacky, then apply a 2nd layer. Sound familiar? It's just like gluing on hydro turf...

When the 2nd layer of glue gets tacky, roll the seal down and use a roller (you can get a cheap one from any hardware store - just look where they have wall paper or trim) to roll out any bubbles. Let set for a while and you're set.

Good luck,

[Matt_E]

Thanks guys! :arms:

[DBLOCK]

So, did you find a seal for $25 from any of the sources I recommended?

I haven't replaced mine in at least 1 1/2 years so was just quoting from memory (maybe it was the wrist seals that were $25)...

There are other options too, you can convert to a neoprene neck or wrist seal too, or even add dry gloves to your suit (but this can get a little spendy)

[Matt_E]

I have a brand-new seal coming tomorrow, from OSS.
It was 31 dollars.

[crab]

I have a brand-new seal coming tomorrow, from OSS.
It was 31 dollars.Seems like I use to use a basketball to shape the neck seal when glueing. And something smaller for the wrists and ankles.

[GASGAS]

Hey guy's you don't need a dry suit it's just not that cold. I wear a 2-3 wetsuit with gloves and boots and have been pleanty warm, WILL SOMEBODY THROW ME A BONE HERE! SHMOKE AND A PANCAKE!

AND DBLOCK !!! YOU HAVE TO RIDE TO GET COLD!!! you missed another good one>

[Matt_E]

It may be okay in Pacific water (50ish), but with water temps approaching low 40's and air in the 30's to 40s, I prefer a drysuit.

[DBLOCK]

When was this? I know I missed Mukilteo with 4 footers because I got to working on my hull and didn't want to loose my momentum... My only response to "4 footers" is it wasn't windy at my place. Bad excuse, I know.

If I missed another ride since then, I haven't heard about any. Where or how are they being announced?

...AND DBLOCK !!! YOU HAVE TO RIDE TO GET COLD!!! you missed another good one>

[EvanB85]

Hey, which one of you clowns drives a red F-150 with big azz FREERIDE sticker on the back window? I passed this truck on HWY 16 in Tacoma last night around 5:00. I know I recognized that logo from somewhere on here. Big WATCON sticker too, among others.
Anybody?

[Matt_E]

It's a guy from the Tri-Cities. Phill knows him. I've never talked to him.
I am pretty sure he's a racer.

[crab]

That would be Dayight and Fedak's group.

[Phill]

Yes I think that is a guy from down here.....I think he hangs out with daylite from time to time. Nice guy... I cant remember his name though....

[crab]

The paint on Daylights boat is truely amazing, I saw it up close at the river this last summer, very talented artist.

[crab]

Hey Crab, how is your X2 mod coming?? MikeStill working on the bottom hull reshape, but just have the final cloth layer to go. I wanted to get the shape just right before cloth, so its just white epoxy from there on out. http://x-h2o.com/showthread.php?t=9768

[crab]

Its time to get down there and beat our brains out! Mike and Greg have promised me rides on the SXR and SJ, so I am covered.:woot:

And my wife wants to jump waves???

[Snackem]

55.9 miles door to launch, parked and riding in 1 hour... 70 mph speed limit between Centralia and Kalma. During the summer I am there 2-4 days a week. Fresh water (well kinda) sandy beaches and great tug boat, ship, and yacht waves.:biggthumpup:

Your grammar is incorrect. The proper sentence should read:

"I've got a Blaster. Oh, and a couple of Sea-Doos too."

Welcome to the board.

Ya your correct but hey I can fly that coach too. I just found out I'm not to old to ride a blaster. Gotta get back in shape so I can hang with the big boys.

Anybody?

That truck belongs to Ian Benson, he's rock'n my NW Freeride logo. He works with Randy on a lot of projects at Watcon in his free time. He's a racer, but I am building him a square freeride hull.

[daylite67]

The green and orange one with all the skulls? I've seen pictures. Incredible.

I think Crab saw the black/white/bloody SX at the river. The green/orange one was stolen about 3 weeks after it was finished. I only rode it about 3 times.
If you ever see a square with a roundnose pole go look at the bottom, if there is a 2' by 3' patch of kevlar on the bottom it's mine.

I appreciate the comments on the paint. I have a good number of pictures of my latest projects on myspace:

Haven't fired up this NW thread in a little while...

Just thought I would give a heads-up to Matt and Snackem: if you remembered from Long Beach, I mentioned I will be in Pullman for graduation next month. I'm not sure yet if my schedule will work, but I might be down to go hit up the Snake that Saturday afternoon. Are y'all in town then? (May 5)

[Matt_E]

Yup, we're here. We can hook up & ride.

[EvanB85]

Cool... I'll let you know if it works out for me.

Guess I should check in here. Have a bone stock 550, new to rideing and am activly searching for a SJ. I ride at chinook landing on the columbia but after reading that matt rides above the damn cause its warmer I will now be driving up there on the weekends most likely. Be nice to be able to ride for longer than 2hrs cause its so cold.

its in gresham, OR

I thought this would be a good place for a heads up on local "For Sales"...

http://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/boa/332539279.html

Looks like a 440 (or is that a 650? I don't know my Kawis too well) and 550 in Bonney Lake. $1 ? I guess that means make an offer. That 550 has a race number on the side, may have been a pretty fast boat once.

Like I said, just a heads up. Have a Nice Day.

Crab, you know you want one... :biggthumpup:

I do, I want to put 800cc in there and make a backflip boat.

Bonney lake is about 15 min from my office... I can pick em up and store them for.

New regulations in WA.

It has been mandatory for a while to carry your vessel registration with you. This can be a bit difficult on smaller skis.
This year, the State is giving out registrations that have a credit card size "mini registration" as a cutout on it. They say to laminate it and keep it on your vessel.
I plan on attaching some velcro to it and the underside of my hood and keep it there.

Also, starting on 1/1/2008, anyone under the age of 20 will need a boater license to operate any vessel over 15HP.
There are some exceptions, such as a 60 grace period when you buy a new/used boat, or for non-residents, etc.

Info directly from the Parks website:

Mandatory Boating Safety Education
Information Sheet - July 2005

Mandatory Boating Safety Education is now a reality for Washington Boaters. Starting in January 2008, boaters 20 years old and under will need to have their cards with them when operating a boat. State Parks is currently implementing the process for approval of the Washington Administrative Code (WAC) that will define how the program will operate. Meanwhile, everyone has questions and this sheet is provided to answer as many of these questions as possible at this time.

1. Is this card a license?

No, the education card is a one-time requirement and cannot be taken away from the operator nor does it have an expiration date.


2. When will I need to have a card?

Here is how the program will be phased in:

January 1, 2008 - All boat operators twenty years old and younger;
January 1, 2009 - All boat operators twenty-five years old and younger;
January 1, 2010 - All boat operators thirty years old and younger;
January 1, 2011 - All boat operators thirty-five years old and younger;
January 1, 2012 - All boat operators forty years old and younger;
January 1, 2013 - All boat operators fifty years old and younger;
January 1, 2014 - All boat operators sixty years old and younger;
January 1, 2015 - All boat operators seventy years old and younger;
January 1, 2016 - All boat operators over 12 years will be required to have a card.
Persons born before January 1, 1955 are exempt.

State Parks is planning to start making cards available in the spring of 2006 for persons who have already taken courses approved by the National Association of State Boating Law Administrators (NASBLA) and State Parks.


3. Do I have to wait to get my card until the year it is required?

No. If you are otherwise eligible, you may apply for a card in the spring of 2006. Watch for further information on when the applications will be available on our website: http://www.parks.wa.gov/boating.asp in the spring of 2006.


4. Do I have to get a card if I was born before 1955?

You do not need a card if you were born before 1/1/1955, but you may choose to get a card if you will be boating in Canada or Oregon since they do not have any age group exempted. You may also choose to get a card to help support the state mandatory education program.


5. Who does not have to get a card?

The following persons have been exempted from the requirement to have an education card:
1. A commercial fisherman licensed by the Washington State Dept. of Fish and Wildlife but you must carry a copy of your valid commercial license with you.
2. A person with a valid marine operator license issued by the Coast Guard when operating a vessel authorized by the Coast Guard license but you must carry a copy of your valid marine operator license with you.
3. A person who is operating a vessel exempt from vessel registration, but they must have a card when operating a private or recreational vessel.
4. A person who is renting, chartering or leasing a motor-driven vessel, but they must complete a check list of operating instructions, equipment operation and safety information.
5. A person who is not a Washington resident and who does not operate a vessel for more than 60 consecutive days in Washington.
6. A person who is not a resident of Washington and has an out-of-state card or certificate that is equivalent to courses approved by the Commission.
7. The purchaser of a newly purchased boat may use the bill of sale as a temporary document to operate a vessel for 60 days after purchase. Bills of sale must show date of sale and must be carried by the operator. A vessel registration may also be used for the same 60 day period.
8. A person is accompanied by and is under the direct supervision of a person who is at least 16 years old and who either has a boating education card or is not yet required to posses a card. See schedule of phase-in above for exact years when age groups are required to have cards.
9. A person of any age who is practicing for or engaged in a permitted race event.
10. A person who is not yet required to have a card.


6. How will people take classes to meet the requirements for a mandatory education card?

State Parks will review and approve courses that meet requirements as set forth in the law. Both for profit and non-profit businesses and organizations are encouraged to participate as course providers. The primary providers of courses must meet the standards set by the Commission including the approval of NASBLA, who have set the national standards for boating safety education. Some local law enforcement agencies may also choose to provide training classes for boaters.

People will have the opportunity to take classroom courses, on-line courses, home-study courses and proctored challenge exams to complete their requirements.


7. How can people find out where to take a class?

First, each business or organization will certainly want to advertise their classes. Then, State Parks will do our best to put the information on when, where and who to contact provided to us by any approved course providers on our webpage at http://www.parks.wa.gov/boating.asp after January 1, 2006. If you are a course provider, you will want to keep our agency up to date on your class schedules.

State Parks plans to provide opportunities for boaters to take challenge exams at boat shows and non-profit organizations and other providers may also arrange with State Parks to sponsor times when boaters can take challenge exams.


8. How much does a card cost?

When you first complete an application for a card, there is a $10 fee. If you lose or damage your card, or for some other reason need to get a card replaced, there will be a $5 fee for the replacement.

[EvanB85]

Well, I guess I'm good until 2010. Of course I will probably wait until News Years Eve 2009.

Actually, screw you guys, I'm going to get a marine operator licencse, then register my ski with Coast Guard. Then I'll get a VHF radio too.

As far as registration goes though, I did not get a small credit card type thing. I usually make a copy and laminate and just tape it somewhere inside. I've never had to show it, so I don't know if a copy is ok or not.



Anyways, thanks for the info Matt.

[Matt_E]

The mini registration is on the actual registration, bottom left corner.

[EvanB85]

Hmm. I guess I didn't notice that before. I'll double check when I get home.

[r33pwrd]

Just wanted to say HI! Im over from Greenhulk I live in Maple Valley WA just picked up a 95 sx... Ride columbia and sammamish a lot!

[Snackem]

Welcome :brap:

[whitca]

Whats up guys! My name's Cam and I'm located in the Tri-Cities. I ride mostly on the columbia though we do make it to the snake being that it dumps in to the columbia here. Anyways, I'm a friend of Matt and Phil and I ride a blue sx. Hollar if you come by!

[EvanB85]

Just doing my good neighborly (is that a word?) duty. There are a couple of really tempting '96 RNs on craigslist right now. Super clean stocker for $2600 in Port Orchard, and a decently set-up rec/race ski for $3300 in Puyallup. I've imposed a personal SuperJet Spending Moratorium, otherwise I think I might be all over these.

And for those of you headed to Lincoln City this weekend, happy brapping.

[ezmoney]

Anybody still riding or are you all checked out for the winter? I was out on lake WA on sunday w/ my friend and his XP and 650 Kawi. Too much fun, but cold

[Matt_E]

Still riding.
What do you mean, cold? Water is still 58 here, air is 50-65, depending on the weather.

[Phill]

I put all my skis away........I might go out around the first of the year.

[Snackem]

I put all my skis away........I might go out around the first of the year.


You'll bring your ski over here and go out next weekend with us.

[Phill]

I think I would like to break yours......but that would mean you would have to get it on the water first.

Besides....we wont be in town long enough to go out....

[ventec]

I just moved to alberta, and i'm planning on a few road trips to the coast. I'm gonna have to get in the loop and find out when everyone is getting together.

Kyle

[Patio_Furniture]

Hey I'm Brian

I live in Vancouver during the sumer and Pullman during the school year

Favorite place to ride is launch at Ridgefield then go out to the columbia by St. Helen where all the freighters and barges are. Only down side is that the pigs are pricks.

Also, (illegal) but it is really fun to ride out on Vancouver Lake cause they have the crew course laid out and the Feldia boat launch is min's from my house.

Portco and merwin also commonly visited

in fact ill be back in Vancouver and trying to ride this Saturday let me know if you want to join it would be fun to meet others and In the future it would be nice to get a crew going in this area because my buddies are all getting out of the sport and I know tons of people have to be ridding around the area.

[suva]

Do you keep your skis with you in pullman?

[Patio_Furniture]

No because its such a long haul from Vancouver, and also because I didn't want to be riding by myself. But now that i know people ride in the area I'll have to seriously consider bring it back

[Snackem]

Bring it back with you in the fall. There's a couple decent spots to ride at around here.

[Matt_E]

Really? :biggrin:

How come you never took me there?

[suva]

Really?

How come you never took me there?
No sh!t. when did you find a good place to ride?

[Snackem]

Bring it back with you in the fall. There's a couple decent spots to ride at around here.

Not good as there is Zero boat traffic but decent as in there is water and a boat launch. If you are riding in May/June then you can also do some good fishing before or after you ride.

[Matt_E]

And piss off the fishermen while you ride.

[Snackem]

ehh a side benefit, honestly though next time you come up we may have to ride at Rock Lake.

[Matt_E]

More fishermen.

[suva]

More fishermen.
More cow sh!t.

[Matt_E]

:lmao:

To be honest, there aren't any "great" places to ride near Pullman.
There's the Snake river - a few places upstream from Lower Granite Dam are decent, but no boats for wakes.
There's Boyer marina below the damn, but I don't like it that much.
My favorite up there was Lake Cour'D'Alene (Sp?) and Dworshak.

[Patio_Furniture]

I c how it is around here. I have to agree, every time I'm on the snake its glass which is cool for wakeboarding but id rather ski

[Matt_E]

If you want wakes, go to Dworshak or Cour'D'Alene.

[crab]

Possible epic conditions at Greyland this coming weekend, 80 degrees and nice surf!

[Matt_E]

Wish I was there.

[EvanB85]

Long shot here.... but any chance anyone is going to be riding Pacific City the weekend of 5.30 - 6.1 ?

I'm heading down there with my GF, and wouldn't mind hitting the waves for a couple of hours on Saturday, but I'm not going to ride alone. I'm not at all familiar with the area either. No big deal, I just figured since I'm already making the trip...

[Snackem]

Are you going to make the ride on the fourth?

[EvanB85]

Negative. San Diego. Should be a good time though.

[Patio_Furniture]

Is there anyone in the Vancouver/Portland area that would want to ride with me sometime b/c all of my buddies have either broken ski's or are selling them.

[shougrider]

that depends, where do you ride?

[backfire1000]

Hi all- first posting here. Sooooo........ I have this js650 in my garage just gathering dust ( I know, shame on me ) Anyway I haven't ridden in years, and don't have any friends that ride. Anyone near Spokane feeling particularly friendly?

[crab]

We are all friendly, don't feel bad I took a 10 year rest myself.

[Patio_Furniture]

portco, woodland bottoms,

[backfire1000]

So can anyone tell me the best places to ride, also cheap / free launch areas?

[TheBaldEagle]

Hey,

BC rider here, but am willing to come down for a ride!

[crab]

Hey,

BC rider here, but am willing to come down for a ride!Marysville? We will be hitting the river at 11am on Sunday just off I-5, suppose to be 87 degrees.

[Higgins-LCHC]

Higgins from Lake Chelan here (84 550 Pissed-off). (riding buddies, Benson(94 550 stock) and Hotrod(91 550 stock). If anyone comes over for the 4th let me know and we will hook up and ride. Last night the boys were in my shop and we were working on Hotrods 550.(broken pole bracket). Hotrod looks up and says "It's like we're an 80's band practicing for our come back tour". I just about pissed myself I was laughing so hard. Not that we're old it's just a 550 thing.

[NWDayton]

The Westport in washington. East of Aberdeen.

[mosquini]

sorry. Thanks

[ColdFusion]

Hey All,

I'm up/across in Victoria. If I head to Washington I'd most likely get the Coho ferry to Port Angeles on a Fri/Sat evening and ride the next day and come home.

So anyone ride near PA? FYI I'm into stand-up freestyle

Anyone know Joe Marzano....I got my SJ off him

Cheers

I'll try to be there. Went this past weekend and ended up with 8 stitches in my right shin, a bent steering cable, busted battery box, missing bumper, messed up bilge from contacting the drive shaft, .....At least maybe I can watch or meet some more riders in this area.

Thanks to the guys that helped me out of the surf and trailered my ski for the drive to the hospital. Drop a PM if you see this.

I will have to post some pics in the carnage thread.

[TheBaldEagle]

Can't make this weekend, but i hope to come down after a week or so...

http://www.pwctoday.com/showthread.php?t=206582 Not sure about Tierra since its 7 hours away, any chance we could do Longbeach? We havn't been there in a long time and I should be able to get 3 or 4 from up here to go down there and do an overnighter at the Super8 motel.

[crab]

Also, if we went to Longbeach, I could check and see it the Hewitt house is avaliable for that weekend, its the last house before hitting the beach and has everything.




$115/nite 2 night mimimum........3 bedrooms, one with 2 beds. In the past we have split the costs so it ends up about $30 per person/nite with someone on the couch, cozy but cheap. http://www.thehewitthouse.com/2.html

[Matt_E]

I might be up for that.

But Longbeach sucks, it's shallow until half a mile out.

Might be better than Pacific city though.
Bad memories.

I'll check with the boss, the Hewitt house is avaliable right now for 2 or 3 nites for $327 for 2. I told him probably 3 couples, but could put a couple singles on the floor or coutches. As you know its 2 blocks to the beach, can't get any closer. Years past it had been a bit rowdy there, so I assured him we would keep the ski's quiet as possible and no riding in the flooded grass.

7? how? 2.45 to Portland and 1.50 to PC. One stop for 20 and you are only at 5 hrs. Ya 5 is a lot to me but 7? We got to get you to scoot a little faster - You could be in Gearhart no stops in 2.5 to p town and 1.5 to Gearhart. My math says 4 to Gearhart. What am I missing? Then again I make it to pismo in under 13 and were you not like 20 or something? Crab- the left lane is faster-

Same as PC- Huge beach, big long shelf, back sets good but there is actually some venture riding. We go five minutes to the cove and ride some killer sets, estuary back to little beach and the big seaside turn around are fun too. Hungry? amazing chowder and you can ride to get a slice of pizza if wanted.

Its more of the north coast but you know all the riders will be at PC when you come in. Gearhart is probably not for you guys. I like it cause I have a buddy's to stay at and a killer golf course, brew pub and way better fresh seafood. Plus from my front door its an hour fifteen-

In case anyone is wondering about the early spring rides, they tend to be the most fun since we are all chomping at the bit to be out there rain or shine.

I would love to join up in March but will be gone. Looking forward to April to get out and ride. Hopefully be able to meet some of you. Of course, all dependent on getting the new ski put together. Problem is, I will never be able to do it justice like PancakePete did. Oh well, at least it will stay looking nice then.

Title & VIN?

What year?

Title & VIN?

It's a 97'. Registered in North Dakota which is a non-title state. I have aclean bill of sale and have it registered. As for the VIN plate, the guy who installed the scupper removed the VIN plate from the ski for the outlet (don't ask).

Nice 24/7 4 handhold hood, AC -2 pole and bracket, new blowsion chip pad though. In addition it has footholds, the 24/7 scupper.

[suva]

Spokane river and Wawawai launch on the Snake river last week, Marysville a couple times and the Payette down by Boise. The Snake was boring as usual, but I was just tuning so I didn't care. I usually ride on the Snake in Lewiston so at least I get some boat wakes. Everywhere else was a blast.

Hey guys! New to the site and the sport. I picked up a 750 sxi last season and couldn't get enough! Been slowly putting some select AM parts on it this off season. Can't wait to dial it in.

Anyways I thought I'd check in as I'm a fellow PNW. I'm just north of Seattle, but ride at Moses Lake almost every weekend between Memorial and Labor Day (my folks have a place on the lake). If you're ever over there, stop by for a beer and a ride, you can't miss it!

[Matt_E]

I'll be up by Moses Lake on Memorial Day weekend.
Do we want to meet for a ride?

[happs33]

Will you be on the lake or somewhere nearby. I'm not so transportable currently.

[Matt_E]

I'll be nearby at some friends' house. I am not sure where to ride.
Where will you be?

[happs33]

My folks have a place on the lake and i'll be there all weekend. We're across from the I-90 bridge to the north. Hard to miss, there should be a seaplane out front on a boat lift (if the weather is decent). You can either put in at the park, or we have a launch at our place. PM if you'd like.

[Matt_E]

Will do.

So how was Surf Slam? Ryan and I went out to Lake Sammamish saturday and sunday and it was a blast. Suprisingly there was about 10 other guys out there on standups so we had a great time!

Most of the Northwest activity is in Seattle, Portland, northern Oregon beaches (mainly Pacific city) and the beaches near Gray's harbor, WA. Don't think we have many folks near you.

We had a lot of events worth driving to last year. One thing you sure don't want to miss is Surf Slam:

Hey guys, I am in Campbell River B.C. on Vancouver Island. I spend most of my time at Mcivor Lake. We are planning to take our first ocean experience this spring. Our fears are large rocks. Sand is not in abundance here.LOL
Anyway I have bought all 3 of my Skis from Washington State. So Thanks to Washington!!
