whats up with the cheezy pic O?

Think of the name of the name as a place holder until something better comes along.

Are you honestly telling me that you do not think "Bay Area Ballers" is a cheezy name.

how bout

"no surf having left coast losers?"

thats a great name. :-)

YOU BASTARD!

[PAIR-A-DICE]

*sigh* You guys actually have enough riders in your area to warrant a section. I'm on the Gulf Coast WAYYYYYY UP in the frigging Panhandle. Since I'm not an East Coaster or a Left Coaster, what should my area be called? :frown:

[SuziQ]

well, since surrounded by a bunch of men here, will leave the up the middle cracks to them, but you could be "hurricane alley" or such.

[tom21]

pretty soon it will be "taxed right outta Fla"

Hello?!? Can we start a Redneck Riviera section?!? :dunno:

u just always crack me up girl:haha:, but I thought that name had already been reserved by those at Allatoona Lake!

This area of Florida has been called that for years and years, FYI. :biggthumpup:

Others like to call it L.A. (Lower Alabama) :biggrin:

duly noted! When visit home in Marietta next week, will advise all we need to come up with a new name!

[deblaster]

What, you did not want to go with "Bay Area Ballerz" like on the other site

I'm thinking "Gulf Wave Poachers".

[FLY6584]

Well I'm landlocked in Alabama now, but I still consider myself a "Bay Area Balla". Yeah I'm definitely calling cheese on that name.

Tim and Ollie,

I'll be home in Clearwater Labor Day weekend with my skis so if you guys are looking to do some riding to get the ski's/skills ready for Sebby let me know. I talked to Reed and he said he was gonna try and make it out.

There is a chance I might also be able to make it to Sebby that next weekend. We'll see. Sebby is pretty far from my school, but I might be able to make it.

I just need it to slowdown so I get some surf when I'm home next weekend. :fingersx:

gulfster is calling for 1' swell today. that's about 1' more than we've had all summer.

[Ollie Rastabean]

Thats right....and no you cannot have any.

I just hope we get some surf like when Katrina came through. That was some pretty wave action. Glassy. waist high. Yummy. Then my damn kawi grenaded.

My girlfriend is coming home with me for the weekend along with her sister and her sister's boyfriend so there is a really good chance I'll be taking the boat and ski's to an island to spend either Saturday or Sunday.

I sent you that google map awhile back. You more than welcome to come out to the island with or without your ski's and do some riding/grilling. Kay is more than welcome to come too (sorry if I didn't spell her name right).

That invite is welcome to Tim and Ollie as well and all "left coasters" for that matter.

Hope to ride with you guys this weekend. Hopefully that storms slows up and we can hit up Dunedin on Saturday. If it looks like it'll hit Friday then I'll skip class on Friday and drive down early Friday morning to ride with you guys.

[FLY6584]

By the way, I am really dissapointed in you bay area guys. It seems like you guys never go riding and you live so close to the water.

I live a good 45min-1hour from the nearest lake and I ride more than you guys. I wish I was still in Clearwater. You guys take it for granted being so close to the water :bigsmile:

I am hitting up Lanier this weekend. Where do you guys recommend putting in at?

:haha: right on. get back to me after you're outta school and let me know if things change in regards to your riding opportunities my young guy goodlad! It's called obligations! LOL!:cool2: When and if the surfs up locally, my priorities suddenly change of course! I'd always love to ride more- anywhere, it just doesn't always work out... BTW, where the hell have you been for all our road trips huh? Matanzas, Sebby etc... blah blah blah.... j/k

Regarding Lanier, maybe PM "Jr" (Paul Lehr) and see if him or the area guys might be hooking up somewhere there locally this weekend? Think "jetsking" is out that way as well. Maybe search around some threads, I recall some of those guys talkin bout ridin couple weeks or so ago? I honestly don't know that area all that well...as far as putting in. I know there was a PDF camp ground map on the original 2006 Lanier thread though if that's any help... enjoy!

I am embaressed at how little I ride. but with young kids and a wife that works on the weekend it's hard to get out. I think I'm goint to have to work something out with the wife where I will ride really early on sundays for just an hour or two.

[imgoindef]

I live about 1 hour from the tampa area. If you all are planing to ride this week and dont mind I would be glad to join you.

Possible waves at last. :Banane01:

It's starting to look like I'll be too sick to work on either Wednesday or Thursday. I guess by next week we’ll see if it’s going to pick up speed.

If it hits on Friday I'll be out there with you Tim. This time we'll be sure to put the drain plugs in though, right Reed?:biggthumpup:

[deblaster]

Apparently nothing at all :spank:

[tom21]

what is all the excitement about? the track is gong to cahnge like a million times before it gets here and it will go from a TS to a cat 4 and back twice. and most likely it will just rain off and on. By the way Jeb bush has issued a severe hurricane warning and we should all be packing and leaving the state.

Also because a hurricane is in the vicinity of Florida all our insurance companies are cancelling our coverage! You know, just in case it does do any damage.

I saw a thing on 20/20 or primetime about (state Farm or Allstate) losing claims and getting adjusters to change claims with bribes and Extortion. and genrally just backing out of their responsibilty. No offense, but all the news is focused on the plane crash( what is it day 3-4) John Karr(week 2 now) and other "old news" Don't these reporters pay insurance? WTF? How come there are not huge three week long stories about that?

I hope we get a cat 1-2 far enough off the coast to avoid home damage and close enough to get some swells. peace

[Ollie Rastabean]

We are also paying for these high rollers to live on the beach.

Hey, you want to live on a barrier island that is 3 feet above sea-level you should have to insure yourself.

We are rebuilding some of these houses up in the panhandle the third time now.

-O

[tom21]

sorry to hijack this thread- I agree with you both-BUT still no reason to rip off ALL of the insured people. its fine they can take my money but when my house is blown away by a hurricane they say "uh sorry too bad." thats bull! why have it in the first place. oh yeah its mandatory! if you have a mortgage. If you knew that if a hurricane wiped out your place and the inscurance co. was going to screw you, would you still want to pay for coverage you weren't gonna get? It like abig scam between the ins co and mortgage co's and nobody is giving it coverage!!!! aaarrggghhhh! Its all corrupt! Who is looking out for us?

[PAIR-A-DICE]

We are rebuilding some of these houses up in the panhandle the third time now.

Job Security for me, but it's a double-edged sword. I rue the day that I have to rebuild my own home.:aargh4:

[WaveDemon]

what is all the excitement about?

I'll get excited about every storm in the carrabean. We've been skuned without waves all summer. Looks like we've been skunked again. :banghead:

the latest from gulfster this morning. we may get some waves.


No wind and nothing rideable yet from St. Pete. The North wind is expected to pickup today around 20 kts. So hopefully we'll see that windswell this afternoon.We will update when things start looking rideable.
St. Pete Tides Wed: L 10:34am High 5:09 L 9:35pm
Buoy Forecasts: Wednesday - North wind will start cranking 20+ kts. Tropical Storm force winds are possible along WFL. Thursday: West wind around 20 kts. Friday: SW wind around 10 kts. and fading conditions over the gulf. Looks like we should get a windswell out of this!

[WaveDemon]

anyone up for an afternoon/evening ride today if the conditions are good?

Were those 4 new guys on SXR's? Reed and I met some guys on SXR's when we went out for Alberto.

I'm still jealous even though it was small. Glad you guys had fun though.

we should start planning our caravan if there is going to be one.

I'm pretty sure I'll head out friday night. unfourtunatly I have to wait until the wife gets of work and I don't know when that is yet.

[deblaster]

There were some waves out there but nothing great. I did have the pleasure of watching a blaster tow in two seapoos at one time (they were pulling a train).:haha:

I was also able to test out my new dual cooling intake, I was a little nervous because I committed heresy by not doing the standard drill and tap method. Instead I chose the forbidden fruit which is taking a hacksaw and cutting off the stock bilge pump cone inside the jet pump which changed the ventury to a pressurized hole....thus intake. Yes, it did work.:biggrin:

BTW, it will be me plus one at Sebastian.

Tim, I'm also contemplating rolling out Fri sometime. Will finalize plans with you and Ollie this coming week if all is still good.

[WaveDemon]

alright guys, I'm heading out friday night around 6:00 out of NPR. I can't get google maps to spit the map out right so look at this map but take I-4 to US 98 (south) to SR60 (east) the directions are good from there. the ride spot is at the state park on the south side of the inlet

[Ollie Rastabean]

Yeah Tim,

I am having a hard time getting Google to spit out the same results (which worked great).

I try and avoid 60 close to tampa. Gets crazy busy. What I do know is this:

1-4 out of tampa.
570 (tollroad) exit 27 south.
98 south (exit 10).
pick up 60 in Bartow.

I will post more complete directions once I beat the machine.

Do you ever ride with a guy named gerrett?

[deblaster]

Do you ever ride with a guy named gerrett?

Sounds very familiar

[WaveDemon]

thanks to all you west coasters for making the trip to sebby and letting everyone know we free ride on this coast of florida too. It's kinda funny that I've never ridden with so many people from the tampa bay area over here. I think I counted 10 of us.

[i met a superjet]

yeah , sebby was a blast! i think i rode to close to the shore cuz my ski got tossed on the beach TWICE! the first time, it rolled like 3 times... so lucky my hood didnt pop off! I need some of those hood straps! even though mine has never come off before.. i would just rather not find out though..
It was nice to meet all you guys out there at sebastion... and even nicer to meet more people that were from my neck of the woods (clearwater beach). Thanks goes out to Ollie and your pals for helping Scott and I at the end of Saturday afternoon.... we just had to go out one more time and hit those swells since we only had just that day to stay. actually , i think that we were the last ones left that afternoon. oh yeah Hey Paul, Tom21 should be getting the hood tomorrow i think.

Hey, Let me know know when you guys wanna get together out at Dunedin Causeway. I will bring a tent and a couple long tables and some music. Scott and I used to do this on the first sunday of each month, but we got burned out.. We tried starting a team of riders, called Team Jetsons.. but i think its kind of funny actually now that i look back on it. Our link is www.myspace.com/teamjetsons

[WaveDemon]

I checked out your myspace, you guys went to lanier too? why didn't we meet before?

[i met a superjet]

Well, first of all, We were newbies to X-H20, and Lanier was our first big trip! So , we were just a couple of new kids on the block looking for people to ride and lanier was (&*#$ awesome! and we tried to meet people but we couldnt find anyone that was around our area... but we really didnt know anyone at the time. Me and the guy (i think his name is steve, the guy with the Hooters trailer, and the hooters super stock boat, square nose SJ, and waveblaster pissed some stoyer friends off by wakeing in the no wake area next to the boat ramp... So i was a little worried I wasnt gonna be liked, but it turned out, that Everyone at riot ride was great and very nice. And all i could think about after that trip was that FOOD!

[WaveDemon]

well, welcome to the site. I'll post here when ever I ride. you guys are welcome to ride with us!

[primetime1267]

Alright fellas.... Who is game to come out and hang for the day out at Dunedin Causeway ..... I know that most of you guys just came backs from Sebbys and all...

This will be my first day back on the water/Blaster since my lil' incident last month with the broken ribs (St. Aug. Beach Ride). So we are amped to get back on the water, and now we have to elude the horrible Red Tide we have at our local ride spot here in Bradenton.

My buddy Brian will be bringing his Blaster that he just put back together tonight and his GP800 (I sold him) and his wife(I didn't sell him), and my wife also on her GP1200.

So lets make a complete day of riding and possible fire up the B-B-Q grill and throw down some grub. And maybe we will have some surf or at least some nice sized boats passing by for the use of their wake.

I just wanna ride, damn it!!!!!!

Lets get-er-done!!!! :arms:

[WaveDemon]

damn, I'd like to go bro but my ski is busted and Saturdays are bad for me. this sux. Maybe next time.

[Ollie Rastabean]

Busted ski #2.

Prob will not be up by this weekend. Maybe in 2 weeks though.

hey O, my crack is way worse than I thought after I pulled off the hydro turf sticker and the rest of the hood seal.

[WaveDemon]

lol, broken boats all around SFL too. i wanna go back to the 'secret spot' sometime soon. i loved that place. someone plan the next ride already.. but make it at least 90 days from now! i gotta save up. lol.

If I'm riding hard enough to bust up a reinforced boat I know I'm doing some thing right :arms:

Looks like the duck pond is in full effect. here is a pic of the gulf today.

sure, when are you coming over? let me know what I need to buy to install it. 5200? 4200?

[WaveDemon]

tim, let's pool some money together and buy a big house in Daytona or by the secret spot.. we need to be closer to the surf.

i'd ask ollie, but i don't think i could live with a hippie.

500k

500k sounds like a bargan. :cool2:

[WaveDemon]

look at all the garages!
I don't think it's enough. it looks like the type of hood where you can't have non running cars or ski's outside. I'm at an all time low of 4 cars (2 non runners) and 2 ski's. I'll need 3 garages. where are you putting your stuff?

[Ollie Rastabean]

I put mine in with thickened epoxy. You prob have all you need.

[Super Mullet]

Tim thanks for the invite to Sebastian, it was a good time. Now I know where it is im thinkin on going over more often. Let me know when you make another trip. See ya on the water! Rich

[Ollie Rastabean]

yeah , sebby was a blast! i think i rode to close to the shore cuz my ski got tossed on the beach TWICE! the first time, it rolled like 3 times... so lucky my hood didnt pop off! I need some of those hood straps! even though mine has never come off before.. i would just rather not find out though..
It was nice to meet all you guys out there at sebastion... and even nicer to meet more people that were from my neck of the woods (clearwater beach). Thanks goes out to Ollie and your pals for helping Scott and I at the end of Saturday afternoon.... we just had to go out one more time and hit those swells since we only had just that day to stay. actually , i think that we were the last ones left that afternoon. oh yeah Hey Paul, Tom21 should be getting the hood tomorrow i think.

Hey, Let me know know when you guys wanna get together out at Dunedin Causeway. I will bring a tent and a couple long tables and some music. Scott and I used to do this on the first sunday of each month, but we got burned out.. We tried starting a team of riders, called Team Jetsons.. but i think its kind of funny actually now that i look back on it. Our link is www.myspace.com/teamjetsons

Derek (did I get that right).
Yeah man, Good meeting you guys. It was a really good weekend. We'll hit up dunedin as soon as I get done wrenching.

No prob on the ski slinging. Damn those boats get heavy by the end of the day.

I think I will prefer dunedin when it gets cold and turns on the idiot filter.

[deblaster]

What do you guys think about building a ramp?:hititbanana:

[WaveDemon]

What do you guys think about building a ramp?:hititbanana:

I used to want to when I lived on a lake but I'm not sure anymore. all the ramp vids i see arn't very impressive.

[WaveDemon]

I can't make it but the gulf is supposed to get a swell tomorrow.

SE wind is on it this morning around 15 kts. There is some skim coming in from the SW. The wind is forecast to turn S/SW later today around 15 kts. There is a chance of a small wave before sundown. Thursday we should have some small surf on tap with storms moving through and west wind around 10 kts. (*East coast could have near epic conditions with offshore wind Thursday.) Maybe these Atlantic fish storms will keep dragging down some early fronts?

[WaHoo_1]

AND... they're BRUTAL on the hulls. :bigeyes:


trust me.. :sneaky:










:biggrin:

freak!:headbang:

[i met a superjet]

does anyone know if there was a swell or swells from that 6.0 earthquake in the Gulf of Mexico?

[WaveDemon]

does anyone know if there was a swell or swells from that 6.0 earthquake in the Gulf of Mexico?nope, there was nothing from it. so we didn't miss anything :biggrin:

[Rockstar]

Tim, if im not moving next weekend we should ride somewheres. Maybe Lake Church of Satan! :headbang: I need to find a decent place in the apollo beach area sometime soon.

[Ollie Rastabean]

if that is down in bradenton there is an awesome place I saw last week.

Supposedly called "Homo cove".

Looked really cool.

Clear water. Nice shallow bank. Quiet.

[i met a superjet]

anyone want to meet up at bellair causeway tomorrow.(saturday)... i know its a short notice... but scott (big toe) and i , are taking some video footage of just some flatwater tricks and stuff. We are probably gonna ride around 1:30 or 2pm right in front of the boat ramps. I think we have one other guy coming.:biggthumpup:

[FLY6584]

If I were you guys I would head over to the island just south of the Bellair Causeway. Its very close and has a nice sandy beach to pull up on with a great area outside of the channel aways from cops to mess around in. You can see when the yachts come by so you can head over to the channel and hit wakes when ever you want.

Thats one of my favorite places to ride.

[FLY6584]

Here is a google earth shot of the island and boat ramp. The island I was talking about is at the bottom of the picture.

When I'm in town I usually take the boat and ski's there and spend the day out there. It's usually pretty quiet there. Reed (Wahoo_1) and I rode their Labor Day weekend and had a great time. He'll vouch for the spot. It's definitely not like a Sheppards with a ton of freakin couches.

[i met a superjet]

yeah we might consider that.... I will have to go out and buy a waterproof bag from west marine. Yeah i was just gonna go in front of the boat ramps cuz the camera view from the floating docks is a little higher instead of from the beach.... and another thing thats nice is that its deep enough for sprung monkeys and deep subs in camcorder range. I was taking footage of Scott today with the camcorder and they vids turned out great since they were up close. its a Hard drive cam... so soon, you will start seeing some vids up. I think we need to have a freeride soon over here dont you think? :scratchchin:

[FLY6584]

Here is a zoomed out shot with some roads highlighted for some of you not too familiar with the area like Tim and a couple guys in Tampa and up north.

Have you ever put in there Ollie?

[i met a superjet]

well... if we get Tom21 and you and whoever... maybe we should all hit up the island?

[FLY6584]

I think we need to have a freeride soon over here dont you think? :scratchchin:

Thats cool. If I was down there I could hook you up with a bag from West Marine for really cheap. I've been working there as a summer job for 6 years now.

The only thing bad about actually riding at the boat ramp is that it gets pretty crazy on the weekend and the coast guard/marine patrol likes to hang out right there.

I'm game for a West Coast freeride any time. Waves are far more unpredictable for us, but I wouldn't mind setting up a big ride at the island one weekend that I'm in town.

I've got tons of stuff like tents, tables, grills, chairs, etc that I set up on that island and have thrown a couple good island gigs.

I really hope we start getting some waves though. If we get some waves on a weekend I'll be sure to make the drive down. If not I've got a trip home planned towards the end of October so maybe we could get something going then.

You guys have fun on Saturday. I'll be at one of these damn lakes in alabama tomorrow. :biggthumpup:

[FLY6584]

well... if we get Tom21 and you and whoever... maybe we should all hit up the island?

Dude I'd love to, but I'm stuck up at school in Auburn, AL. :banghead:
I don't know what I was thinking going to school in Alabama.


Come to think of it I actually met Tom at the bellair boat ramp one day when me and some friends were out there riding. We got to talking and I found out that he was on the X so I offered him a ride on my SJ. At first he was like how can you trust me with your ski when you don't even know me?

I told him I trusted him completely cuz he was a member of the X. :biggthumpup:

[i met a superjet]

yeah, i know how it is on the weekends down at the ramps... scott and i got busted for not wearing tether cords... $65/each down the drain... thats like a good 4 or 5 gas tanks of riding. Today, scott just parked his truck at the farthest west ramp and left it down in the ramp, for like an hour. It was dead out there. Oh yeah, red tide just started showing up today and yesterday. I found 2 dead bonnet sharks at my dock and there are pin fish washing up on shore :( Im gonna do a sub and swallow dead minnows.. Yum... fresh sushi

[i met a superjet]

aight i gotta run... hope to see you riding out there soon. . We will definately plan an Island Gig when you come down in october.. Peace out X-Brotha

[FLY6584]

Are you by any chance the guy with the white squarnose that I've seen show up to that island and you have that house within swimming distance of the island?

If you are, I'm the guy with the 23 Mako and the red Blaster and blue Superjet.

[i met a superjet]

no , not me.. I have 96 superjet with 02 motor. I live on clearwater beach, north end. Damn, i just sold my 1989 22 mako CC. But now have a 20 shallow flats boat, and got a yami FX HO black and my father has a 32' Luhrs sport fisherman... Im trying to get him to let me take that thing out and set some wakes up for vids. (P.S. My father doesnt know about my superjet... so the reason i ride at bellair alot so i dont get caught. I keep my ski in scott's garage.. ha ha)

[WaveDemon]

hey guys, there are supposed to be rideable waves tomorrow and the next day in the gulf. I don't think my ski will be back together in time but I wanted to give you a heads up.

[i met a superjet]

thanks Tim. Anyone want to join Scott and I if we go? It will be about 5:30pm when we can ride tomorrow.

[WaveDemon]

thanks Tim. Anyone want to join Scott and I if we go? It will be about 5:30pm when we can ride tomorrow.
there is a slight chance I may ride on Wed. let me know how it goes tomorrow. this is derrek (sp) right?

[i met a superjet]

yeah this is derek. well, now im not sure if im going. We got some new metal racks to put in the garage.. so we might be spending the day cleaning out the garage and organizing everything.

[WaveDemon]

anyone interested in riding sunday morning (9/24/06)? Most likely will be at dunedin. Ollie and I need to set a date to ride to keep our repairs on track.

Hey O, why don't we park as far down the beach as posible to cut down on the distance traveled on the water?

[Ollie Rastabean]

Sounds good.

Sunday morning is good for me. Early is good. Before the idiot count gets too high.

Wife is riding too.

[WaveDemon]

Sunday morning is good for me. Early is good. Before the idiot count gets too high.

LONG RANGE
Winds to remain less than 15 kts over the Gulf through the week with no swell generation suggested. A Fall-like pattern to start setting up with 2 fronts scheduled to push over the northern Gulf generating a moderate offshore flow Tuesday/Wednesday and then again Sunday

wavewatch.com is call for a little swell on sunday for us, its a little early for this to be real acurate but lets keep our hopes up!

[Ollie Rastabean]

Noice!!!!!

9-20-06

This morning in St. Pete the wind has gone light almost dead right now and we have semi clean conditions in the thigh high range. The tide already looks high and is holding the waves back. Conditions should improve when the tide drops this evening. NW wind is forecast today around 15 kts.or less Today's tides for SP Beach. L- 5:42am H-12:10pm L-6:35pm. You maybe able to find surf today in the gulf ranging from knee to chest high (bigger down south or on the best breaks today in WFL) RED TIDE has filled in more in S. Pinellas with the swell.Gulf Temp 86.

I'm out but should be great for you guys. the wife found somethig much more importaint fo me to do rather than re-assemble the ski last night. :rolleyes:

[i met a superjet]

yep.. what a freaking storm front that came in yesterday afternoon! Yeah, and guess who went out in that shizznit till night time?
:haha:
Wow... that was nuts.. The swells at Sand key were like 6 feet by the jetti, but the waves were on top of each other. So when it started to rain... it laid out the swells real nice. Big Toe got some good footage on vid with the lightning in the background.

Hey guys, I'm riding at moon lake if anyone lives up that far north on wed evening and maybe sunday late morning. Sunday's location is still up in the air.

I'm looking for a spot to take a guy to ride my blaster where his g/f and my fam can hang out and with us being able to beach the ski's near by. any recomendations? I'd like it to be someplace with a playground for my kids.

the only places I know of are green key, moon lake and MAYBE howard park. Someplace a little further south would be nice maybe someplace on lake tarpon?

If it wasn't the Auburn vs Florida game this weekend and my parents weren't coming up to Alabama then I'd def try and make it. How's the water temp and red tide?

I wore shorts on sunday. ollie did wuss out and wear a padded rash gaurd. it was nice out (80's). no red tide at all in dunedin. I heard the off shore winds have made it better further south too.

[FLY6584]

GO GATORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!

:cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

TEBOW and LEAK ARE GONNA PUNISH AUBURN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Though I really want to stomp on Florida this weekend I really wouldn't be that mad if they won. I just want to see an SEC Team go to the National Championship. This is definitely going to be Florida's and our tuffest game of the season. It should be a good one. :highhorse:

Thats good to hear. At least the redtide is better than last year, but last year was better for storms. Hopefully you all will start getting some cold fronts rolling in that will give you all some surf. :fingersx:

Are any of you west coasters thinking about going to the Addiction Premier? I was thinking about heading up there that weekend and at least riding during the day. It's only about a 2hr drive for me.

I am trying to make the Daytona ride, but as of right now we have a ski trip booked to Steamboat. I'm trying to get everyone to rescedule it to before x-mas so I can hit up that ride. Sounds like it will be a good time and the sj should be ready by then:fingersx: .

[FLY6584]

dont' be so dam PC!

GO GATORS! KILL AUBURN! :headbang: :headbang:

That Auburn/Arkansas game last weekend was EXACTLY what UF needed! :headbang:

That Auburn vs Arkansas game was embarrasing. I'm just glad I sold my ticket that day and spent the day riding at the lake.:biggrin:

nope not going to the addiction premier but I wouldn't miss daytona for anything. My family knows that nothing gets planned durring the daytona event.

[Ollie Rastabean]

Dude, Daytona rocks. You dont want to miss that.

But, that being said. Steamboat is awesome!

-O

[FLY6584]

The only thing that game is going to do for Florida is give them a false sense of security. Ya'll are in for a rude awakening. :slap:

[Ollie Rastabean]

That was a magic guard. Blesses by a shaman. Stops me from eatin handlebars. Beotch!!!!!

[WaveDemon]

Dude, Daytona rocks. You dont want to miss that.

this will be the best one yet. where else could you see 15± peeps going for there first complete flip? then to see all the great riders doing what they do infront of everyone. driving down the beach the first day is great as you aproach the zone (yes we missed the right beach ramp) you see all these ski's flying through the air. My first time out my bro and I were like :bigeyes: " did you see that no hander!" "did you see that BR!" "Did you see that BF!". all before we even got out of the car. It's a religious experience.
:highhorse:

[WaveDemon]

[WaveDemon]

I've decided that we're the best riding group. the title of the thread has been changed accordingly.

[deblaster]

Anyone riding sunday?

[Ollie Rastabean]

I am out.

Have a baptism to go to. Hopefully the roof of the church will not cave in when I walk in there.

[FLY6584]

So did we get waves on Friday afternoon?

[WaveDemon]

I didn't ride but gulfster said the front didn't push through, so no.

[WaveDemon]

surf update from gulfster says possible waves from the sw tomorrow and wed. anyone available to ride after work? I need to clear it with the boss but other than that I"m up for it.

[i met a superjet]

what time are you going out on wednesday tim?

[WaveDemon]

If the wife gives me the green light I'll be there between 5:45 - 6:00. that should give us a little over an hour to ride.

[WaHoo_1]

I'm in for Tue or Wed...let me know. Gonna be gone this weekend!

[deblaster]

:afro: I'm in

[WaveDemon]

I'm good for wed evening if there are waves.

[WaveDemon]

for those of you thinking about riding today:

swell should shift more south and fill in better later this afternoon when the tide drops.

Low tide is 4:37

It won't be big but there should be some waves to jump.

[WaveDemon]

hey guys, it looks like today is the better wave day. I'm gonig to try to ride today instead of tomorrow who's able to go today? I'll try to get out of work a little early too.

[deblaster]

Anyone still up for wednesday? Any action on the waves today?

[deblaster]

Not happening. SOUTHWEST 5 TO 10 KNOTS IN THE AFTERNOON.

[WaveDemon]

the surf report comes out at about 8:30. I'll keep you guys posted.


the waves were great yesterday once we moved over to the rock jetty at honeymoon. knee to thigh high. :headbang:

[WaveDemon]

here is the report from gulfter today:

Looks like a small fading swell for Wednesday. Check your spots for best rideability. Possibly still fun and at least loggable on low-incoming tide at the better spots.
Wind Wednesday: SW/W wind 10-15 kts.

[tom21]

Sunday, Sunday,Sunday! Be there! Is it on for Sunday still?

[WaveDemon]

Sunday, Sunday,Sunday! Be there! Is it on for Sunday still?I'm still up in the air. my bro is having a house warming party so I might be stuck with a short morning ride.

[tom21]

better than nothing I guess

[WaveDemon]

actually it's pretty normal for my rides to be short. I either break my ski or my face.

[tom21]

Lets not have that happenin. besides it may be a contest to see whose ski can last the longest. I did have water sitting in my engine for an undetermined time.

[WaveDemon]

I'm out for the weekend. my wife informed me this is the weekend we'll be celebrating our anniversary.

[tom21]

and she had to in inform you? you are dead meat! better find something nice for her.:bigeyes:

[WaveDemon]

no its not like that. I know our annaversery is on tuesday. I just thought we were going to get a sitter the next weekend.

[tom21]

so who else is going. just gonna be me? thats normal:headbang:

[WaveDemon]

derek said he was riding all weekend.

[tom21]

ollie, anyone else? there is another guy lives righton the water there doesn't he? be back later

[i met a superjet]

i can ride saturday, but sunday is gonna have to be after work at 4pm.
Im paitiently waiting for a starter to arrive today from riva.

[i met a superjet]

tom, i decided to get that fixed since it took 3 times on the start button to start it up.

[WaveDemon]

ollie, anyone else? there is another guy lives righton the water there doesn't he? be back later
just a little fyi, it's like hearding cats around here. especially on flat days. :27:

[i met a superjet]

i agree... if my phone worked right. this would be so much easier.
I have to sign online every time to find out whats going on.
I still have dial up.... lol.
Im usually not home most of the time..... so I have to sign on everyones computer during the day wherever i go.
I feel a dedication to this site though. I havent even gotten out of my bed yet... Its my day off, and this was the first thing I did.

Wake up, X-H2o. Eat, X-H2o. Work, X-H2o.com Sleep, X-H2o.you must lurk alot.

[tom21]

Me too. its sad......... I am ok with the fact I am a loser though.........I still ride standup so life is not that bad. Wife, kids, work its a wonder I can get to the water.

Tim maybe we should see about arranging all the #'s of riders. you are free to give mine out. If others would like maybe they can chime in so we can be added and get others on our phones. as I am sure most of you are already hooked up, but as new people enter the info needs to spread. just a suggestion. I will be riding Sunday. Would like to go around 9 to 10am and stay as long as I can.

Derek, bring the starter with, if it breaks we can fix it on the trailer. lets ride first. Unless it doesn't work at all? is it like it was before?

[i met a superjet]

just got home from buying my new jetski paint color.... Galaxy black. same color as the nissan titan. And guess what was at my door at 3pm... my new high torque starter.. Yesssss. Im gonna go cut the grass and then install it. Its hot as hell outside. aghh... Im gonna lose some pounds this weekend. Riva is fast about getting parts to you... i ordered that starter yesterday at 10:30 am. WOW.

[i met a superjet]

Tom , your gonna hate me.... but i tried getting sunday half off , but i think i wont be able to ride until 4pm. When i get off work, should I ride my ski all the way to dunedin from clearwater..... I will need one of you guys to bring some extra gas and oil... and i can pay cash for it. Cuz , i dont have any help to load my ski into my truck. Its on a lift over the dock.

[tom21]

eh, I went tonite and maybe monday at your house? then we can shoot for next weekend with more guys. gonna post some stuff on my build thread and call it a night. work all weekend and see ya on monday?

[i met a superjet]

Tom , glad to hear your ski is alive! I had no doubts! I was seriously racing against the sun yesterday putting that starter in and exhaust.. I was right in the middle of it with greasy hands so sorry i was so short.
Now we gotta find some bottom ends parts to start adding to your ski man!
I will probably be able to ride Monday right after 12:30 or noon. Give me a call, I couldnt save your number. PM it to me. My screen is broke on my cell phone.
MONDAY MONDAY MONDAY!

[i met a superjet]

Anyone up for riding on the backside of clearwater beach on monday afternoon? there is a boat ramp 400 yards away from my apartment with free parking. and i have 2 dock pole mounted swing around electric lifts.. and we can sit extra ski's right on the dock. (not a cheap dock). Tom and I are gonna ride from my house and probably ride between clearwater beach and island estates and probably make a stop at Carlouel Yacht Club because they have a huge floating dock that you can wake and do subs and whatever. I have a Gazebo at my place so if ya wanna bring some beer thats fine and dandy. PM me or shoot a message on this page. my number is 727-480-5132
