Cleveland Does Rock!!!!

[Mrs Cattledog]

What a great ride DJ, Very well put together and Cleveland people are just all class. We had such an awesome time, we loved it so much that we decided to stay an extra night....just got back from the lake the waves were really juicy today! Was also great to see some new people to put a face to the screen name and also to connect with friends met at other rides......X.H20 people are bad a s s!!:bananapowerslide: Till we ride again

Thanks Guys! Here is my take on the Weekend.

Friday Night: Met up with Wavegoddess, Cattledog, Mrs. Cattledog and Suzi Q at the Irish bar "The Harp". Good times! I heard Mrs. Cattledog and the girls got a little crazy later on...shhhhhh.

Saturday: Nice day. Not really any waves, but we had a crap load of RedBull (some hyper folks), the RedBull girls, & Over 85 skis!!! and over 100 people from Texas, Kentucky, NY, Ontario, Florida, Michigan, Virginia and Ohio. Gotta give it up to the Wavejunkies for bringing two RVs and 18 Junkies! Stacy (Wavegoddess) travelled the farthest!

Afterparty: A great raffle and a little grilling with the help of X-H2O! Beautiful Weather and view of the Lake! Thanks to Debbie on Whiskey Island for hookin us up with the tent and servin the delicious beers. Thanks to Deb and Kim for sellin raffle tickets and handing out shots! Thanks to the Florio Bros and RMAu5000 for grilling, and thanks to the sponsors for helping us bring in over $1700 for Charity and to help out one of our own

AfterAfterparty: The Garage Bar!! Rockabilly Band, Biker Bar with a patio. I put my ski right in the middle of 50 Harleys and Choppers! Things got a little crazy here! Azhiaziam sticker party Sorry the under-agers couldn't get in

Sunday: Beautiful Weather. 1/2ft. to 2 foot choppy waves in the morning. They really cleaned up and started to line up in the afternoon and increased to 2-3's. (Sorry Junkies!) Xeon, Proformance and Eric Fox putting on a show and were going big with the rolls and roll attempts! Saw a little carnage out there!

The BAD: I have to apologize for the condition of the beach. A huge wind storm blew in last Wednesday and we had 35 mph winds and 12 foot waves! It brought in a bunch of garbage and what looked like mulch (smashed branches and twigs) onto the beach. I know this and the zebra mussels wreaked havoc on a lot of peoples cooling systems. The beach and water are normally in a LOT better condition than what we had this weekend.

Thanks to everyone that came out and took a chance on Cleveland! I had a blast and hope you guys did too...

[oldskoo]

....

hell ya eric great time riding with ya again.... Big props to you and madmat ripping some of the biggest stabs iv ever sceen about 10 secs apart...that session with 6-7 of us a mile out was some of the most fun iv ever had ridding..every way i looked all i saw was the bottoms of skis in the air... just killer..PIB is gonna be crazy..........iv got the countdown going....

 

[MADMAT]

That was a friggin BLAST!! I have been riding here FOREVER and that is the furthest out I have ever had to chase waves. AWESOME!!!

I hope you guys get killer waves for the PIB ride!!

 

[SuperJETT]

I wish I could have gone out there with you guys.

Overall, we had a blast, the kids loved the beach, it was really laid back but plenty of people to talk to/ride with.

Unfortunately, I was messing around in close too much looking for little waves to play on and clogged my cooling to the engine (thought it was the exhaust first) and it looks like I melted an o-ring in the head on one cylinder. Big thanks to MadMat for offering to tow me then getting firemedic to tow me back with his sitdown. The ski started up just fine on the trailer and I blew it out a couple of times, so it should be fine with new o-rings.

Thanks everyone, and especially DJ, you really did a good one this year.

 

[Ericfox]

Yeah Darin, I saw you on my way out from the launch ramp area in the no wake zone... still look forward to meeting you one of these days... I will see you at freestylefest if you plan on doing that this year.

 

[MADMAT]

Its a good thing cuz I towed someone else in right behind you. LOL.

It was a towfest all day thanks to the mulch on our beach I'm guessing.

 

[SuperJETT]

Yeah Darin, I saw you on my way out from the launch ramp area in the no wake zone... still look forward to meeting you one of these days... I will see you at freestylefest if you plan on doing that this year.
