Well I'm gonna call it a HUGE success(assuming everyone gets home safe). The only bummer is that 1 of 500 got left on the last ride and couldn't find the buoy coarse. I feel bad about that, next time I'm gonna count. It was great to meet everybody though and put a face to the name as planned. All our two-stroke ran fantastically and everybody seemed real fast. This was a great group of guys and we got blessed with some real good weather for this time of year.
I wanted to show off my skis and I got that done in spades. Adam rode the zebra ski first but then he rode the chit out of that HX for the rest of the time. The HX was a big hit with everybody and so was the Big Red Racing carbon fiber GSX. We didn't even ride the zebra ski the second day but I did offer it up to Chuck(the guy who dropped a valve in his 4-Tec). It was a blast to ride Minne's black ski, it felt amazing!
The beer drinking and BS'ing took place outside Spim's place just like the first meet up and ride a couple years ago. He kept a fire going the whole time. Here he is on his new ski.
Here is WhiskyD. He rode everything hard and took to the buoys like a natural.
Here is Minnetonka4me4me on his black X4 all suited up rocking two Gopro's.
Here we are setting up buoys

I made it to paducah, KY decided to grab a hotel with a hot tub and relax tonight a little since I wasnt going to do it all in one trip anyways.
Great group of guys, I had alot of fun. Chris brought us the the bombest little hole in the wall place on Saturday night and the food was killer. Walking up to it you would never know, but with the owner behind the grill I knew it was worth the wait.
Matts Zebra ski had some pump cavitation issues, but his Big red boat is beyond amazing. That hull rides SO much better than a regular GSX hull, it was like a XP with a bit more stability. His HX was sweet, the sponsons that are bolted up front make it ride so much easier. I will def be adding some to my HX build in the spring.
Thanks again to Chris for getting the location setup, Matt for providing me a cabin, Adam for covering my gas, Tim for letting me crash on his couch thurs night....and all the rest of the guys for showing up and making it awesome. Good weather too.

Looks like you guys had a blast! Hate to hear about the dropped valve in the 4-tec. Most of the time the end result is not pretty! $$$$
Yeah there was metal in his turbo too! $$:facepalm:$$

Yep, rode a 155 4-tec this summer and boy was it "massive" and "noisy". But hey, this is the new stuff. If I were to buy again, it would be a 4-tec. But I am still surprised that the 2-strokes performed during this weekend that you had.

One word: FLORIDA.. Probably the clearest water in the US and it'll be warm and plenty of places along the shoreline to break and eat, etc.. Tons of places that have boat ramps, and places to stay along the water or for a lot cheaper, there are places right off the islands that are 5 min away and about 1/4 the price..
I'll be down for any ride along the Florida coastline. Let's start planning soon
