Good to have another Iowan around. Which lake will you ride on?
Told ya you'd feel better.
I'm in Cedar Falls. We do most of our boating in Coralville but also head your way from time to time and hit Saylorville. We run on a little lake here in town which is great on week nights as well. Then we do occasional trips to the Mississippi, Okoboji, and occasionally a short stretch on the Cedar River here in CF when the conditions are right.
I'll feel even better at the end of the week! I spent all day pulling things out of and giving a final clean up to the trade in, it's been a good boat for the past 6 seasons :)
I know this is somewhat off topic... but with a Mojo on the way I can't help but think about surfing. Any suggestions for a good board that people of all sizes and skill levels can enjoy? I'm 6' 210lbs, my wife is only about 120lbs... and then we've got family and friends of many sizes. I've been looking at the Ronix Cortez, it's available locally and is fairly cheap. Also, what type of wake surfing ropes are you guys using?
Also, I'm super excited to wakeboard behind a real wake boat with speed control! The break in process is going to be torture!
Congrats, show us a pic of the new baby when you can!
I have a 3yr old Ronix Cortez and it and its a good board, but unless the design has changed you'll be dunking the nose and falling a ton if your new. I'd go with the HL Broadcast as a beginner/teaching board.
Once you have out grown it, which will be about 1 summer, you'll want something better like a IS, Phase 5, or custom board like soul craft or walker project...ect.
Don't get rid of your HL broadcast, or whatever board you get, because you'll want to teach the new surfers you'll have on your boat from time to time.
Wolfe is correct about the shoe thing. You'll end up with a board for each person because everyone will probably like something a little different. Or like me. I've got 3 different boards I ride regularly depending on my mood that day or that set.
Try to make friends with other people who surf at your lake and try out their boards.
