Lake Mead Tige Owners reunion 2008!!!!!!!!!!

[dogbert]

Okay, you guys have had enough time to provide pictures.

TTIWWP!!!!!!!!!!!!

You're just jealous 'cuz you're not there.

[da.bell]

No, that would be a 10 hour drive... Too much for me.. But again, it's a one hour plane ride.

Hope they are having fun though.

[dogbert]

Well, I gotta get up @ O'dark thirty to head to Bakersfield tomorrow morning. I'll be there all week.

But again, Bakersfield is definitely a BFE place. I know, I moved from there when I was a child. Don't regret that move

I had my "satellite" Lake Mead Reunion at Utah Lake -- Did I win the stereo contest, nobody called me to let me know. I did have my speakers pointing south. The water was a brisk 60 degrees but the air was 85. I just jumped in the water and pretended to be surrounded by Zebra Mussels. Here's a pic from my phone.

HI Moki,

I missed the reunion as well. Just got back from a business trip to Brazil.

I wanted to go out today but my family thought the water would be too cold. I actually took my boat today to get winterized

The picture you posted did not show.

Fixed the pic. You should have come out, the water was a little cold, but all of my kids got in for either wakeboarding or swimming for the little ones, except my wife. She's not a cold water fan. Anyway, it was still warm enough to not require wetsuits. It was a great day - may be my last but hopefully not.

Well just got home from the reunion it was a great time.. I will get the video up soon!! Thanks to everyone that came out it was a blast.... Thanks CWB and SPBFAN for the board!

[Dan and Christy]

Just AWESOME!!!!

Let's see, where to start. We met up with Turbonine and Bad05 and then headed out to the lake Friday afternoon. After dropping off the camping supplies at the beach we proceeded to board and have just perfect water.

Saturday morning we met Erick Ruck and took him out on our boat, talk about stoked Erick is a completely cool, down to earth, good guy. He put on a show that was too cool. When he finished the rest of our crew took a couple turns. Erick was nice enough to give great tips to each of us. It was cool to see how great he did on our boat even though we don't have 4000 lbs of ballast like his personal 24Ve does. We were able to make a decent water slide and had a pretty powerful water pump that I brought from work.

So now for the kudos. Naturally, Matt from the Boat Shop in Boulder City put on a good show and had plenty of prizes and good sandwiches for everyone. Erick Ruck for being so cool and after warming up on our boat and having some lunch went out with Erick and company on his beautiful RZ4. Big ups to Andrew Haney for getting CWB to provide a new Pure board and bindings for raffle, getting the Babe's pricing together, and getting me a terrific price on a CWB board and bindings. As others on here have said, get with Andrew if you are looking for great deals on CWB product.

Overall, it was an unbelievable time. It was great to see and meet so many of the guys on this forum. Here a few pictures of Erick and of the slide. I can't wait to see what others are going to post up.

OK - it has been a long day, so I'm gonna keep this short for now - just a few pics from today.

A few of the boats in attendance:


The weather was absolutely gorgeous. Water was beautiful and allowed everyone to partake in their favorite activities:


Tige pro Erik Ruck displayed a little bit of talent:


Thanks to Talltigeguy, Tige_Matt, and everyone who worked to put this together!

Sorry - my pictures don't do justice to Erik's skills - but I am sure others will post some better shots (actually, Dan and Christy already did).

[Dan and Christy]

Holy Cow

I almost forgot to thank Larry, TallTigeGuy Larry did an awesome job putting together the shirts and general organization. He led the pack with the stereo contest and picked my ticket at the wrong end of the "reverse" raffle for pimp my Tige (that one was hard to hear, my number was called first, but the last number was the winner ) Oh well, again thanks to everyone and we can't wait to do this again next year.

[tige_matt]

Yes, it was an EPIC day at Mead. Thanks to all who made the long journey!

Erik Ruck is a class act and Tige is fortunate to have him as a great soldier out on the front lines. He's a pretty good barefooter as well!

Thanks to my friend Larry Cain for your tireless efforts in organizing this event!

Thanks also to Tige' for building such high quality, sick-looking boats. The new RZ4 was in all it's glory yesterday thanks to Erick and Chanel Auth!

Thanks again!

Matt

Well another amazing Tigeowners reunion. We got unbelievable water Friday and Saturday. Huge thanks to everyone involved with setting this event up. Sorry no pix from me as of right now we are camera less


And last but not least......................









Thanks Tige for the $2500 to pimp my Tige

[Moki]

Really?! G-Money, you won the pimp my Tige? That is unbelievable - Way to go

[xpjim1]

Yeah. I let him ride on my boat and he took my luck away from me. At least i was associated in the win in a small fashion.

Had a great time again except for the monster drives. Thanks to all involved. Ditto on all the thanks above. Im going to take a nap
