Update- Goin crazy in Austin

[davidf]

I am in Austin now... TeamAllen bought one of the weeks on our Houseboat at Lake Powell. The other week was purchased by another friend. My family is still in Phoenix AZ and so is my boat. I'm dying out here! Anyone want to take me to the lake? Need a driver? :cool: :D

[davidf]

This is what is sitting in AZ not being used. I miss my boat!!!

If you wanna make the 4 hour drive to Texoma I'll meet you there....lol.

Isn't Matt from Austin?... or is he from the Metroplex?

[davidf]

Seriously- I need some lake time!!! Anyone in Austin need a driver... or someone to pull? HEH HEH!

[davidf]

Tanner- I may take you up on it. LOL!!!!

[jhodnett]

You should hit up Texas Ski Ranch in New Braunfels

[davidf]

more info? Keep in mind I'm really new to the area. I know where New Braunfels is... but do I just show up and anyone would pull me? I don't want to look like a wierdo. ha! Thanks for the info!

[jhodnett]

It's a cable park........my brother has been there and loves it......he learned to wakeboard last summer......and since he doesn't own a boat, anytime he was in the Austin area, he scheduled some time in for TSR........you can google Texas Ski Ranch and they have a website.

[davidf]

THANKS!

[jhodnett]

I am in west texas and haven't been yet, but we will be in Austin in a couple of weeks for my sister's graduation from UT and I hope to check it out.....my brother said it was about 45 min. from Austin.

Hey David,
I have a buddy that normally keeps his boat (Correct Craft) in a slip on Lake Austin. I don't think he's launched it yet, but I'll find out when he's going out.

[Carter13]

Your boat brings back childhood memories because I ate a crapload of mint chocolate chip ice cream. :D

[davidf]

Yeah- I get Thin Mints alot too... the girl scout cookies. It's all good!

Whoever wants to head out- PM me and I"ll give you my phone number to hook up. Thanks! I don't have my board- that's in Phoenix too. I'll be happy to pull you though- and just be on the water. Man, I'm jonesin!

Just go south on I-35 and take exit 195, cross over the overpass and turn right onto the service road. Be careful about the exit ramp because they have the right of way, but you should see it on your left.

Unfortunately I don't have my board- all my gear is still in Phoenix. I'm just looking for a day on the lake. I'll definitely check that place out though. Thanks!

I live here now. Just waiting on my wife and kids to finish out the school year in PHX- then they'll be here with me.

You can rent boards. They also have demos if you think you're in the market for one.

It's a fun place to go. They have a bar & grill there and live music on weekends. We go there quite a bit because my son does competitions down there.

2nd on that... also, go talk to the guys at the ski dock and introduce yourself to charlie- he's the service manager.

If you're looking for a fix, hit up TSR. They have a SICK new wall slider on the cable lake. you can rent their boards, vests, and helmets.

If you havent tried a cable lake, I highly recommend it. The fees I believe are $10/hr on average. When you figure the amount of riding time and how much it would cost to run your boat for the equivalent amount of time, this is more than reasonable.

I've done a 4 hour pass (8-midnight on summer weekend nights), riding for 2 hours until I cant hold on any longer, then taking a break and going back out. seriously... your hands give out before the rest of your body does.

[davidf]

Sweet! Thanks... I'll definitely check it out. Thanks for the info!

[Ruune]

you're welcome. Also, a lot of us on 360wakeboard.com ride street bikes and/or motocross. If you're interested in that, check out the 360 bikes forum on the same site.

Oh... forgot to mention www.texaswakeboarders.com. This site is basically an "all Texas" wakeboarding site, but most people on there are from San Antonio, Corpus Christi, or somewhere in-between.

[davidf]

my boy does BMX so I'll definitely check that out! Thanks again!

Hey Thanks man! I definitely like being unique... but I can't get away with ANYTHING on the water. LOL!

Well then, stay up in OK. We really don't need folks barfing in our streets. ;)

[Tanner]

Don't worry... I'll only make it as far south as Dallas. :D

Well... not counting when I make my annual trip to the King Ranch for a deer hunt and have to pass through Austin. I don't stop though ;)

[dogbert]

Hey, stop by some time, we're not all UT fans.
