The only boarders I met at the lake, were the kids I teach, 3 of them. They're 8,9, and 12. cool kids.
other than that the only other boarders I met from around my area, was at the MK cable during nationals. (by chance one of you rides a double-up board with Craig Cahoons sticker on it?)
There arn't really that much for wakeboarders, its all skiers, that don't allow boats with wakes. There is Craigs, but that expensive, and there is also a lake up at (forgot whats its called) but thats really expensive.
So mostly wakeskating when I'm home, and I just got a trampoline in my garden which is cool.

1.5 hours, that is foot on the floor!!! Where do you guys live in Chelt, I'd sure like to meet up with some more boarders, when I go back.

Mr Bean the slalom course is a hard thing to do, good luck, let me know how it goes.

Thats right, 15 min tows

Brand new X2, two lakes, all level lessons including coaching from Kent James

Pro-star with fly high for beginners or slalom

B4 summer its more flexible with non members, once it's a bit warmer give it a shot. I will be working there most weekends, if you fancy it let me know and I can get you booked in
