wakeisland Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 For those of you in northern California, we are about to open our doors to the general public on the cable side of things and have a few private ski lake memberships available at this time. This is a first of it's kind facility on the West Coast and one of the only parks world-wide with a cable and ski lake. For more information, check out our website at www.wakeislandwatersports.com or email us at info@wakeislandwatersports.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Dirt Posted March 5, 2013 Baller Share Posted March 5, 2013 World class ski lake with a brand new cable park. If you are in the area or just passing through, I highly recommend you stop by. There is a pro shop with all the gear you need for rent or purchase to ride the cable. I tried it and was surprised how much fun it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller The_MS Posted March 5, 2013 Baller Share Posted March 5, 2013 They had a cable park @Razorskiers lake a few years back but it never took off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Edbrazil Posted March 5, 2013 Baller Share Posted March 5, 2013 McCormicks has both, starting about 3 years ago. Also OWC Orlando, but not sure about boat-pulled jumping. Which they had back when the Pro Tour went there. The water ski lake is where the mens ski fly record of 299' was set by Jaret. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ntx Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Texas Ski Ranch also has both. More known as a cable park but they are also a Mastercraft dealer with private lake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller _ lpskier Posted March 5, 2013 Baller _ Share Posted March 5, 2013 Trophy Lakes now has a cable park on what I've heard called the "Class C lake." Lpskier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller igkya Posted March 5, 2013 Baller Share Posted March 5, 2013 Guess its not the 1st... The lake I ski at has a separate car park also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller _ lpskier Posted March 6, 2013 Baller _ Share Posted March 6, 2013 The funny thing at Trophy is that they probably net more money on disc golf than on skiing. They were smart to see the opportunity and capitalize on it as a way of enhancing revenue without increasing skier cost. Hey maybe the government should install disc golf on the White House lawn instead of raising taxes. I am writing my congressman now!

wakeisland Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 Sorry about that everyone, we meant to say 1st on the West Coast. The only other full-sized cable parks that also have an active waterski lake is McCormicks and Barefoot Ski Ranch. The great thing about the cable is it will finally allow us to put some much needed funds back into the ski lake, we feel they complement each other well.

Baller BraceMaker Posted March 6, 2013 Baller Share Posted March 6, 2013 I agree! @wakeisland - I feel like it is hard to get new folks started behind boats. So much easier if you can drag em back and forth for only a bit of $. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted March 6, 2013 Administrators Share Posted March 6, 2013 @wakeisland welcome to BallOfSpray. Your site is great. I have skied there and really enjoyed it. The only problem you have is that @Dirt skis there. If you kick him out I am sure you could raise your prices.

wakeisland Posted March 9, 2013 Author Share Posted March 9, 2013 We are not familiar with the nicknames here, who is @Dirt? We will see what we can do about kicking him out. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted March 9, 2013 Administrators Share Posted March 9, 2013 @Dirt is the skier whose real name cannot be said. Tall thin skeleton of a man who runs 39 off and carries a gun. He has an old Mastercraft and skis with a history PhD who once stole my car.

Baller Garn Posted March 9, 2013 Baller Share Posted March 9, 2013 @wakeisland, what a killer site you have. Question for you. Is the ski lake open to visitors at all? I live in Utah but my mother-in-law lives in Lincoln and my sister-in-law lives in Rocklin. Both are just a stones-throw from your place. I've always hated going out there for a visit. But if I could ski that would make the visit a lot more enjoyable. Thanks, Garn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodltg2 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 @garn your best bet is to go with a member as a guest. Myself I don't know of anyone other than Dirt who is still a member. You could also hook up with me. I ski nearby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members musclefixer Posted March 10, 2013 Members Share Posted March 10, 2013 Congrats, nice place. I ski on a similar site, just approved/opened for cable last yr.

Baller Garn Posted March 11, 2013 Baller Share Posted March 11, 2013 @rodltg2 - If it wouldn't be a problem, next time we go out to California, I'd love to bring my ski and hook up with you. Thank you very much for the offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Zman Posted March 13, 2013 Baller Share Posted March 13, 2013 There is a cable park now in Valdosta, GA - that has plans to possibly stretch an exisitng lake on the site and offer slalom too - which would be great for this area (I need ski buddies).
