Lake Mead 2014

It has taken me all summer to get to where I am almost landing the backflip. It takes a little more time...if it were easy, they would call it wakeboarding.

It looks like a REALLY steep learning curve. It also looks like it would be really rewarding to just cruise around on it. Someday I may bug you guys to help me find a good deal on a used beginner one so if I don't enjoy it, I won't be out big bucks if I sell it. Is it something you can teach yourself or do you really need someone out with you that knows what they are doing?

To learn to cruise is not too difficult, and that feeling of floating above the water is awesome. To learn anything other than that it is so helpful to go out with someone experienced. The used foils tend to hold their value very nicely. It makes upgrading a dangerous addiction. I started with about $1200 for my first foil...now I am about $3000 deep in the one I have. But I could sell it tomorrow for $2500. Try and get that sort of return on a used wakeboard or surfboard.

Bill, my buddy from Minnesota, is looking to sell his. I think that would be considered a good starter foil....? PM me if you are interested and I'll forward his contact info.

Oh man... that is tempting! Thanks for the heads up. I don't think its in the cards right now but.... foiling has always been tempting! I am still obsessed with surfing enough that the ski and wakeboard gets mostly ignored these days. When the surfing progression gets a little more stale, I can definitely see trying foiling out.

[WYTige?]

Absolute blast! We were wondering if it would be worth dragging 3 kids in the truck for 7 hours and it was well worth it. Come on out next year!

It is tempting but as an elementary principal I'm in full swing .

Lake Mead 2014

I just wanted to say thank you for the hospitality that I felt at this year's Tige owner's reunion. I do not own a Tige but I certainly appreciate all the beautiful Tiges that were at Mead for the weekend. The event was well organized and had a very welcoming and fun atmosphere. I did not get too many pics but here are a few.

Im not sure how well this will work, but I created a photobucket account just for us. Its Lake_Mead_Tiges and I think its open for public viewing. If it works and others want to upload your event pics to it, PM me and will give you the password.

I want to give a huge shout out to all those that were able to make the trip and especially D&P. Dave came to me prior to the event with an idea to do something for John as a thank you for his hard work in putting these events together. With all those in attendance, we were able to collect $310 in donations for a gift certificate for John.

Thanks to Tige and Offshore Marine as well as all the other sponsors like Wet Sounds, Kicker, LifeForm LED and many more.

Thanks for sharing everyone, some great photos!! The photo bucket idea is great Chp, let's see how it works! Please PM me the password. I also want to take some time in posting on Facebook and other social media sites to get our sponsors as much visibility as possible, so feel free to # and @ everyone and everything that was associated with the Reunion! Keep the posts and pictures coming everyone!

Hi Everyone,

I am the new West Coast Rep for Tige. Unfortunately, I was unable to attend the reunion, but it looks like you all had a blast. Jean had some great things to say when she made it back to Texas. I will definitely try to make it out next year.

I will be making my way out to Sacramento October 10-12 with a 2015 Z3. I will stop by Offshore on my way out or on my way back. There isn't a plan, but if there is interest, maybe we can get some of you out on this boat! I know you can't wait to see what we have to offer for 2015. I will be in touch with Shane, John, and Ken to see what we can do.

In the meantime, if you need anything or have any questions, feel free to PM me or email me at chase@tige.com.

Regards,

Chase

You missed out for sure Chase, next year hopefully! I'm sure there will be some local interest in the Z3, thanks for the offer!
