Rapture, yeah i know where it is. I rode past it everyday to go to work last summer, that hill is such a bitch a 9am when you're hungover!! We're on the farm bit next door, so we have nothing to do with the warren. We launch at the powerboat club in pwllheli, its about £180, you get a key to a private slip way at pwllheli marina, and can launch/retrieve whenever you want as long as the tide is above 1.0m

Which gekko did you get then? Ive seen those on th web, look nice. you can teach me a thing of 2 when we go out then



Jesus, where abouts in manchester you from? I live in Altrincham, south manchester. Ever ridden at sale? 5 West was always a good laugh last year, they had the teaser for '151' there.

Hey Marcus live in Hulme near town. The boat is at Preston Marina and I've never ridden at Sale. Is it any good? Used to be moored up at Fallbarrow on Windermere but we all know the crack with that one.

Me and a few mates were at the 151 preview last year too as well as the powerboat club. Was good to see all the pros out and more drunk than I was!

Counting the days till I can forget about work for a week and concentrate on the more important things in life......like boarding and beer!

Ill be going to wakestock. Hope it was as good of a piss up as it was last year. VIP tickets, get in!

Bigger Than Jesus,

You should definatly come down one night. They are open mondays, wednesday, friday, saturday and sunday. Thers a good bunch of us who ride there often. Its a 10 quid for a non member and 5 for a member. You get 8 minutes on the water which isnt to bad. They have got a malibu responce with a tower and wedge so the wakes alright. Give me or Marcus a shout if you fancy it.


cheers
toby

Hey markus

Shame about the warren thing, i thought if you were on Crugan, that you got access to the warren. never mind eh.
That powerboat club launching looks pretty good value. I've never looked at launching there. Is that £180 for the season? and is it just for access to launch, or do you get to store the boat there too??

We are getting the REVO 6.7 as our DEMO boat. It should be here on the 1st of July.
This is the first boat in this country, and we are gonna be selling these beauty's !!
As for showing you a thing or two, when we go out....Hmmm, i'm not sure about that.

Speak to ya later

Rapture yeah its £180 for one year; its only for use of the slipway so you cant store the boat there as there's no compound or anything to lock them away. You just drive up, open the gate, reverse down, launch, then drive back up, lock the gate, and walk along he pontoon to your boat, and you're good for however long you want to be out for. no restrictions of time like park and launch

let me know when you get it and we'll go for a ride, have our attempt of a wake making machine out aswell. hopefully my 60year old knees on this 17year old body will hold up, or il go for a skate.


take it easy

Marcus
