If you're willing to drive, there's some killer areas to ride out here. I mostly ride Lake Austin and have become very spoiled by it. We generally go out during the week and have the lake to ourselves. Buchanan has some good spots, but when it's low it's hard to find a place to put in. Also when it's windy it gets rough, very rough. We were out there a couple of years ago and it started getting bad. I was standing up in the boat to see and the waves were breaking in my face, literally. There was so much water in the bilge that it was coming up through the floor.
If you drive a couple of hours south to Del Rio, there's Lake Amistad. It's a HUGE lake with HUGE cliffs everywhere. It's very easy to find glass out there pretty much anytime. We make several trips a year down there, in fact we are going in 2 weeks to kick off the season.
I'm not fond of LBJ. It's a nice lake but it's busy and rough. Well atleast it was the 1 time I went. We found some good water going up the river, but it was shallow and hard to get the wake shaped right because of the depth. Surfing was impossible.
I've heard the Gaudalupe has some killer sections, but I've never been down there.
Good luck, there's a lot of water around here and you can easily ride 8 months out of the year in shorts.

Yeah, I really like Buchanan. My family likes to go there. We go there and camp for the weekend or longer. It does get rough out there. Del Rio is a place on my list but I haven't made it out that way yet. I will soon enough. Thanks for all the info. I'll post how our weekend goes down here.

Me and Birdman were out at Dunlap this past weekend and the results were not good. We hit a stump and we were in the middle of the lake. I would definately wait till they raise the level of the lake back up. We also witnessed another boat hit the same stump a few hours later.

What part of the lake were you located? You really do have to know the lake otherwise them stumps will get yah. If you were up towards the damn, I would bet money on yah on hitting a stump. My dad hit a stump up towards the damn when he took my sister and her friends out one day, but if i was there it wouldn't have happen, thats why i told him to just sit back and relax and I will drive from now on.

Yeah man, we hit a stump! It wasn't cool. I was on the wakeboard and TrueTx was at the wheel. It was only a matter of time I guess because as the day went on others hit trees as well. Everybody that was out there with us is giving TrueTx a really hard time for breaking the boat. (LOL) What sux the most is how long it will be before the boat is ready to go back out.
Also, I'm looking for a new friend to take out on the boat! TrueTx has been posted! In the past two months me has broke something on my chopper and now my boat. (WTF) I don't have the money to keep him around as a friend. (LOL) I'm just playing Mike! I know it isn't your fault. I should have known better then to let you drive. It's my fault! (LOL) :p
The rules for Lake Dunlap.

Is what Bird forgot to mention is that as we sat there on my friends dock drinkin beer and watching everyone else ride is how extremely calm the water was. About an hour before sunset there was nobody on the lake and it was perfect glass. That was when i really started catching a lot of ridicule.
-
Yeah well you didn't get enough! I'm going to give your phone number to people you don't even know and have them call you and ask you why you have to go and mess up such a great day! I hope you can't sleep over it! :mad:

Hey where did yall hit that stump at? Also if yall come down again when im on the lake I will show you the best spots on the lake and where these hazards are located.

wakesurfing?
Why is wakesurfing illegal on dunlap?

Limishowman3, we hit the stump on the end closest to the damn. We were out towards the center of the lake when it happened. If going away from the damn it would have been closer to the shore on the right side.
