Buoys, BBQ, & Beer at The Boarding School

[theboardingschool]

I just wanted to give any local Florida ballers a heads up that we will be having another Buoys, BBQ, & Beer at The Boarding School on Saturday. Unfortunately all of our spots for skiers are filled up, but if anyone would like to come out and watch some great skiing and shenanigans on the water, you are more than welcome. We really only have enough beer and food for those skiing, but if you would like to bring a cooler along to enjoy some adult libations while you're here, feel free. It's always a good time!

 

We will be starting around noon and more than likely run until dark.

 

Our address is:

 

19454 East Colonial Drive

Orlando, 32820

Great event. Wish I could’ve skied it.

[Wish]

All full??? When did that notice go out??? I woulda signed up for a set.

[Bookm_dano]

Would love to be there... With or without a ski slot

[theboardingschool]

@Orlando76 and @Wish Sorry, it filled up on word of mouth before we had a chance to even say anything. We are capping it at 30 so as to not run all day. It's one of the things that makes BBB for fun than a regular event, it doesn't drag on for 9 hours.

 

But, you boys are welcome to come hang out and watch some great skiing.

 

We'll be doing another one in the spring, and I promise to open it up to the public. Going to be doing several really cool ski events at TBS next year!

Site is next to a race track, at least it was there last I visited. Where one of the events was

figure-8 school bus racing.

I just figured out why it is supposed to be cold (cold for Floridians) on Friday and Saturday here in Florida--Travis scheduled another BBB. Sounds like it will be fun again, but we already have committments and can't make it to this event, but looking forward to the Spring BBB and the other cool events.

@riplash that’s the plan. It’s part of the bonding experience. Kinda like Navy Seal training, but with delicious BBQ and cold beer at the end.

[Jaypro]

I gotta fly down in the spring for this!!

[Zman]

I'll take this kind of cold! Although the locals will probably be wearing 3/2's on Saturday. Except @FWinter - he skied here in Bama last November in 42F with just a 1mm vest.

How did it go today?

Hope everyone had a blast and rounded lots of buoys!

[theboardingschool]

We had a great day! The weather was absolutely perfect, and we had about 35 skiers. Ranging from guys that had never skied in front of people, to Lucky Lowe, Chris Parrish, and Freddie Winter. Such a cool, eclectic, mix of people. We ended up having an absolutely amazing sunset, everyone stayed for a sit down dinner and a few drinks. It really is my favorite day on the water. Lots more of these to come.

Got pics?

[theboardingschool]

@WaterSkier12 MasterCraft put a ton up on Instagram, and has story, saved. A lot of people there put up pics and videos. I'm trying to compile them now. I end up hustling around all day and end up not documenting as much as I should.

[mylemsky]

Freddie on a NRG?

[theboardingschool]

@mylemsky This week. He's been trying lots of things, just having fun and messing around with lots of skis, boots, different techniques, etc. It's the off season, time to have some fun.

 

[WaterSkier12]

Understood

Do you have an RV pad with hookups there now? Or is that just a rumor?

[Orlando76]

Not a bad idea. An actual campground where you can step out back and ski whenever you want.

[WaterSkier12]

Would b sweet!!!

[theboardingschool]

@WaterSkier12 we have a power and water hookup under a shady oak tree 75 from the dock.

[WaterSkier12]

Count us in!
