WakeBoardSD.net First Official Meet Up at San V on Vimeo.

Loading the Calabria Up with Ladies!

The first official WBSD Meet up was had on Saturday (7/12) at San Vicente Reservoir. There was an awesome turnout – nearly 10 boats and around 30-40 people. We headed out and met up with Geoff and the Wakesports crew around 6:45 (Thanks for being on time and grabbing the spot Geoff – I ran into some complications…haha) and set up shop, then jumped on the water for a couple hours of riding while the water was still somewhat decent. Luckily, we bought up almost all of the wakeboard/slalom course passes, so any WBSD boat was welcome to head over there for a session on the best water at the lake.

Ranger Kevin Says Hi!

We fired up the bbq around 11 and threw some burgers and dogs on to help balance out the mass quantities of Coors Light being imbibed by all. Horseshoes were thrown, beers were drank, shit was talked, and Ian from M20 passed around a bottle of Patron. It was great to meet everyone in person who is involved on the site, and put some faces to the names we have seen. If anything, it quickly made me realize that we aren’t dealing with a ton of people who just love to wakeboard… we share a love of partying as well!

Where It All Went Down

Around 2:30 we headed out to do some serious riding and tore up the wakeboard course. Others went out to get some wakesurfing in. Everyone got a pull and showed off some insane skills – check out the video (will be posted soon) for proof of that! We rode until about 5:30, then headed back to the spot to pack up.

Some sweet Rides

Overall, it was a perfect day, with a perfect turnout. Everyone made some new friends and riding buddies, and we are already planning the next one (Hopefully one more in August before San V closes for good). One thing discussed with Kevin the Ranger was ways to go about opening Otay Lakes for water contact activities – so keep an eye out on this site for info regarding that. We are a community of like minded people and should use this as a way to coordinate getting the city to listen to us! More on that to come.

Thanks to Wakesports and DBG Concepts for sponsoring the event, and everyone who came out and helped us, partied with us, and supported the site. We hope it continues to grow, and that we can establish a group of people who ride together for years to come!

It seems like we will have a pretty good turnout.  At least 5 other boats are confirmed.  I will be getting a bunch of burgers and hot dogs to grill up, as well as some beers and drinks.  Bring anything else you want, and come meet the WBSD crew!

Also, since I’ll be heading out around 5am, I’m going to pick up passes for my boat for each session.  If you are coming in with a boat, pick them up too if they are available, that way we can have the courses for the entire day.  You can get them at the booth where you pay to enter, and they are $10 per session.  You just need to give them your CF #.

Call me if there are any questions, or you need a ride to the beach…anything!  See you Saturday!

Got out friday for a day at the Reservoir, and it was an awesome day! We got there around 8am and started riding. It was nice for an hour, but the wind picked up pretty quickly, so we picked up some permits to ride in the slalom and wakeboard courses, which are pretty sheltered from the wind. Saw 3 Super Air Nautiques out there from the MBAC, and ran into my old roomate who is an instructor out there. Pretty decent day with some good riding!
