Mead 2016

[UNSTUCK]

Wow! That looks like a nice board! Why don't you just go ahead and put my name down for that.

[Wakeman22]

Dave. You are such a tease.

Can't wait to demo some of these boards.

[UNSTUCK]

Just throwing this out there:

Is anyone interested in doing some kind of informal swap meet while there? I have a wakeboard, a 2 person tube, and "The Thing"- a knee board/wakeboard/surfboard toy that I'd like to sell, maybe also a skim board as well.

Mead 2016

Good idea UNSTUCK! You can always bring some old gear and see if anyone wants it...I have even seen people use their older products as auctions in the giveaway just to get rid of it. I think a lot of my old gear will end up Bing made into benches or wall decor in the garage. I know for me I am solely interested in surfing stuff now and pretty much have what I need. Thanks for the idea though! Not a bad thing we could start doing at these events! Trade/buy each others gear!

I know I had always thought that we should do an install for the products won out there. With all the expertise and a pretty good amount of tool resources brought by fellow boat owners, it would be cool to install some of the easier items that people win and snap some photos for sponsors. Guess it depends on what's being given away that year and what we bring. This is more for the older boats as I don't think Elevated will be needing any upgrades anytime soon! [emoji12][emoji6]

Only a few days away! I am actually bringing my wife and 2 month old out now.. Brad and I will be boat hoping on each others boats but if we have some owners without boats and don't mind hopping on some decade old boats we welcome you on our boats! Makes it challenging to surf with only 2 people per boat!

Weather changed today in So Cal! Looks like we may not even hit 100 out there in Mead! Always love the weather this time of year but if this is your first time coming remember that lake mead is completely unpredictable at times. Been hitting this spot since 5 years old.. And my grandpa had been going for 30 years before that. I love it but we have had some dangerous days on the water... Can't wait to see everyone and look forward to meeting the new attendees! I'll be the one with the 2/3rd oldest boat and a baby. [emoji16][emoji1462][emoji1316]

So this just happened!!! And Max approved! (Baby not included- used for size purposes) These are 10 bucks each, same as the koozies... PM me if interested! Need the order in tomorrow morning to make sure it's done in time! All the koozies are done and paid for.. Will collect cash when I hand them out at Mead.. This is my last thing I'm trying to do before I leave! Promise. Lol...

These are still being worked on as well [emoji847][emoji6][emoji1316]

How do you want your name and handle displayed Elevated? For example, do you want your name and handle like mine?

Good Morning and Good Day!!

Here we are just a few short days away from the event. I would like to make a few reposts, and do a little re-cap of the event for everyone that is either just joining us or missed the plan.
As soon as Dave or I arrive, (probably me since he is old and cant get out of bed before 9) I will post a review of the launch ramp, water levels, water temps, ect. for everyone but specifically the launching and ramp situation. Those that have been there previous years are aware of the challenges of launching here and it gets worse every year as the water level drops and hate to bring bad news but its even lower this year.
The shirts are final, we pushed the order back to allow for a few more changes but the shirts were ordered last week. The logo's, design and colors have been selected and shirts go in for printing TODAY!!! Shirts will be at the reunion on Thursday (Evening) BAD05 will be your point of contact for shirts ($15 each). If you are not arriving until Friday no worries please attend the Friday Parking Lot Meeting at 7:00 P.M. we will have the shirts there as well along with ALL of the demo equipment. I have attached the "Itinerary" for the event we will do our best to stick to these times mostly so we can afford everyone the most time of the water. Take a look over the itinerary or print one out, I will probably print a few out to pass around just in case. Again for those that missed it here is the "Plan":

11th Annual Tige’ Owners Reunion

Timeline of Events and Information

General Information- Most owners have VHF Radio’s. If you have one, the event channel will be 5. Please stay OFF of channels 9 & 16 for general communication unless declaring an emergency. There is A LOT of water out there, find your spot and have a good time no need to crowd the main harbor which is primarily used by the demo boats. We recommend people go north for the best water and the most space between boats.

Thursday- Pre-Event Kick-Off at 7:00 P.M. Buffalo Wild Wings:
- Galleria Pavilion, 617 Mall Ring Cir, Henderson, NV 89014
This event is optional. Please do not feel obligated in any way to attend.
Friday- Owner Arrivals, Meet and Greets, Demo Board Presentations, Mission Boat Gear Delta Presentations and Demo, Demo Rules and Process, Coordinator Introductions at 7:00 p.m.
- Parking Lot (Desert Side) of the Temple Bar Marina
- Event T-Shirt Pick-Up
- Boards/Delta FREE to Demo
- Boards MUST be returned nightly to Brad/Dave/or Board manufacturer’s representatives. Room numbers will be provided unless told otherwise from above personnel.
- PLEASE - No hoarding Boards or Delta. Demo as long as needed and pass to another owner to demo.
- Please be careful when handling boards and passing between boats.
- All Boards and Delta must be returned to Brad/Dave/ or Board manufacturer’s representatives NLT 5:00 p.m. on Saturday.
Saturday- Owners/Family/Friends Tige Boats Picture. Large boat tie off in front of Temple Rock just outside the Harbor will take place at 12:00 p.m.
- Please be courteous. Have your bumpers/buoys ready for tie off in advance. We don’t want any accidents.
- PLEASE Watch your speed and wake on approach there will be people/kids in the water.
Once again, please ensure that boards/Delta are returned to Dave/Brad NLT 5:00 p.m. on Saturday. We (coordinators) will need to prepare for the raffle. Dinner (catering) begins at 5:00 p.m. under the overhang just below the desert facing rooms closest to the water. If you choose to participate in the catered meal at this time we are tentatively looking at a cost not to exceed $15 per person. All boat owners who have brought their boat to the event will need to check in with a coordinator at 5:30 P.M to have your name added to the hat (1 NAME PER BOAT). Raffle will begin promptly at 6:00 P.M. Please understand – we are still working DAILY on adding more sponsors and more raffle prizes. If we are able to obtain prizes for every Tige boat owner (regardless if they brought their boat or not), we will open the raffle up to those attendees as well.
Saturday Evening Surf Session - After dinner and the raffle, around 9:00 p.m. there will be a boat or two leaving for an evening surf session (weather dependent). If you wish to attend please make contact with Brad (because Dave isn’t brave enough to do it-LOL).
***Sunday***- ALL OWNERS WHO WIN A PRIZE ARE REQUESTED TO MEET AT THE DOCK WITH THEIR BOATS AND THE PRIZES THEY WON FOR A PHOTO SESSION WITH JENN (OUR EVENT PHOTOGRAPHER) AT 9:00 A.M. THIS IS IMPAIRATIVE!!!! WE NEED TO SHOW THE SUPPORT TO OUR SPONSORS BY SHOWING WHERE THEIR DONATIONS ARE GOING AND WHO WON THEM. FAILURE TO SHOW UP FOR THIS DOES A HUGE DISCREDIT TO THIS EVENT AND COULD EFFECT OUR POTENTIAL SPONSORS IN THE FUTURE…DON’T BE THAT GUY!
We are truly looking forward to this event and seeing our Tige’ Family again at the reunion. We ask that everyone be safe, be smart, be responsible, and have a good time. We will do our best to ensure that everyone is involved and included in the event. Thank you for your attention to this and please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
Dave (D&P Powell) and Brad (theGerman618)

I think Dingle was interested.....

[whiteflash watersports]

I can not even begin to tell you guys how jealous I am of all of you. If I didn't live on the east coast of Florida I would love to attend this event with my wife and daughter.

We used to have a sea ray and some of the best times we had on that boat were at owner reunions and Sea Ray sponsored event tie ups. Just a blast to be able to hang with so many like minded enthusiasts.

Hers hoping your weather, travel and days are awesome. Again - very jealous.

[h2osk8er00]

What was the radio channel you are going to use again?

Mike it's channel 5... You coming up Thursday or Friday? I'll be getting up Thursday afternoon if all goes as planned!

Corn holes completed by the way... Not the best but they'll do! I have another set but not another set of bags.. Anyone have some corn hole sacks laying around? Think the ones I ordered might not be here in time.

See you all soon! Have all the bottles and koozies too! Bring your 10 spots! [emoji12][emoji482][emoji1303]

[UNSTUCK]

I just confirmed my reservation in our lake view room. For whatever reason they had us there for Saturday night. We are leaving Saturday after the dinner. So that opens up a room that night if anyone is looking for one.


FYI: Fuel prices are $3.68 per gallon on the water and $2.32 on land. That's much better than I thought.

Right on man. I was going to call about the gas prices. Wish the boat was empty now for less weight to tow. It was around the same price last year! Cheaper than here, that's for sure! Awesome! Thanks for posting.
