Holly sh!t that thing looks crazy! Cant wait to session that in May! Transition on the step up rail looks steep but knowing those guys it'll be perfect.

That thing is so much fun. A few of us helped them adjust it yesterday so we finally got to hit it, and what a blast.

Hey Kristian, we're heading over from England to OWC for a week in mid Feb, what's the water temperature like then? Is it wetsuit water or just boardshorts water? Thanks.

Oh and we are the world's crappest wakeboarders so we expect to spend a *lot* of time in the drink.

I spoke to a friend who works at O-dub the other day, he say's that the new box is the same idea as the big one that was already there, but for regular riders. The flat bit is about 5 1/2 ft off the water, and the wall ride is sick apparently. The slider part might be a bit steep, it's not actually finished or something, so no-ones hit that part, only the flat.
Roll on May!

brutto I'd bring a wetsuit, the water is a little chilly these days.
Sim, the slider part is fine. we all got to hit it on the fist day, but two guys wrecked pretty bad because there is a seam at the bottom of the valley. So yesterday they put some resin stuff on it and it should be good for today.
