ECOAP Wakeboarding.
« on: August 20, 2012, 10:12:06 AM »
Not expecting much of a reply to this message :P

I"ve recently taken up wakeboarding (4 weeks ago) and absolutely love it. So, I googled for nearby wake parks in Nottingham, and found this one: http://www.nwscnotts.com/water/water-skiing/ (it says Waterskiing, but they also do Wakeboarding). It"s 6 miles (15 minutes) from DTD.

I"m planning on hitting the park for a couple of hours each morning before the DTD events start. Say, 11am (or even 9am if I can find a session at that time).

Posting up to see if anyone fancies joining me? It"s oarsome (water-based version of "awesome" :P) fun!

I"m a complete beginner myself (may post a link to a Youtube clip of how bad I actually am later) so don"t worry about being crap if you fancy giving it a go :D

In the mornings, I regret that I am previously booked.

Recovering from the previous nights efforts &/or snarfing down a full English in a local hostelry.

Feck it, I"m on holiday, I don"t plan on rising much before noon.

Any time I get near any large body of water all I can hear are cries of..

"Thar he blows" ...or "Oh the poor thing is beached, let"s help him back in the water".

Wakeboard...I"d rather be waterboarded. :)

I was tempted ... very tempted ... then I saw the time it started ... I have only ever managed to get to one APAT Main event on time, so doubt very much I"d have a hope in hells chance of getting here at all.

Must be 50/1 against getting this off the ground Matt !!
Some of us poker players  USED to have energy to burn but
I fear most have us have passed our best "wakeboarding" days.

It was tempting (for about 30 seconds) but then I realised
a, how old I am.
b, water is cold in Nottingham.
c, any time before noon at an APAT event is too early.

Good luck to you & anyone mad enough to join your venture.
We look forward to a full report.
