I'm not sure where I got the blanket, probably costco, we like that place.

I know a guy that works there, and he was able to show me around, and yeah in the second pic is all the defective ones that were cut wrong. But the first pic is the good ones, I bought the parks, and he gave me the scape free, because when they shipped them in, the whole batch had a fin drilled a couple degrees off center, so all I had to do was drill a new hole, and its a perfect wakeskate now.

Its funny how small of a shop it is, but about 40-50% of all production is done over in china now, so they didn't need anything big.

I like the new top of the scape graffics. THe grip seems nice. Ride the scap without fins you will like it so much more.

the parks and era are definatly not rideable, when they cut them, they cut them too short and they have chunks missing.. the byerly is rideable, but when they put the inserts in for the treads for the boots, they were put in crooked, so its not a big deal, but still messed up.

and I've never wakeskated before, so hopefully I'll get it down, then play with the fins.

and Gnu is one of the very few snowboard companies that still makes their boards in house, so that would be a pretty cool jobshadow.

Most pro models have integrated fins though, so they don't really need bolt on fins in the first place.

But it helps the regular guys out keepin the board under control.

i dont know. theres nothing wrong with the board besides the graphics. they are selling it for like 240 or something. i think itd be cool to have just beacause its one of a kind, and nobody will ever have the same board, but then again i dont have 240 $ to blow on a state.

Yeah I went wakeboarding yesterday, it was way cold, but we had a drysuit so it was OK. Tried wakeskating for the first time, its pretty fun, slick as hell though. Somehow I threw down this backside boardslide on the wake, it was pretty cool

The parks is awesome though, I love it.

One nice thing about wakeskating is you can use anything for a tow, did you guys see the pictures of byerly riding through tennis courts during one of the hurricanes down in florida? It was pretty cool

weekends if the weather is nice it can get a little busy but really not bad at all, everybody usually just goes over to mason lake so spencer stays nice. during the week its basically butter all day

ive been there 3 times so far....1 of the times was last may and it rained every day, but it was still rad freestyle walking and wakeskating. another was once last summer, and it was labor day weekend, and it was crowded with speedboats going as fast as they could, then stopping, turning around, and doing it again. Then i went this last summer, and it was pretty windy and overcast most of the time (aka choppy), then the day i left it was butter for the rest of the week. hopefully this year i will have BETter LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!fuk

it was probably us racing people across the lake in my friends uncles barefoot boat. that think is so fast, and the other kid over by the lillypads was probably racing us too. lol i dont know what to compare its size to but its a decent sized lake but not to big to have a million people out there
