now im in the boise area, spend about 50/50 between lucky and lake lowell. sometimes make it to lake cascade, but i would like to try anderson ranch or lake owyhee in oregon this year. but lowell and lucky are the closest and easiest to get to.
i guess it was the X80, sounds cool on paper, but as you can see in the vid, yeah it has 2 waves, but they both look like garbage.
they are all riding big boards as I bet the boat has zero push.
miss lucky peak a lot. spent a TON of days camping up there and if not camping, 7am launch to get a dock for the day. sure it's a LOT worse as I left the valley in '13 and my cousin said it's a mess. they have a house on payette- lucky sob... friends used to boat in emmett but we got tired of the clockwise thing.
lowell is nice until the 4th of july when the bugs become unbearable but water is warm.
we boated at mead here and it's nice to have a no-wetsuit/heater top season that starts in march and runs until mid-november but you never know when the next body is going to float up'06 Supra Launch 20SSV-gone but never forgotten

I'm also in Boise. You should definitely check out Owyhee, it's my favorite lake in the area that's day-tripable! The scenery is spectacular, the water is usually up to 10 degrees warmer than Lucky Peak, and because it's MASSIVE and more remote you don't have to worry about it being crowded with other boats (even when the parking lots are overflowing). Just make sure you get an Oregon AIS Permit and complete a Boating Education Course. I have been stopped and checked for both those items (which I had). The only drawback to Owyhee is the water is pretty hard so you'll want to give your boat a good clean afterwards.

On the X80 two surf topic. I could see one surfer getting peeved that he/she might have to keep dropping because a less skilled surfer keeps falling, or other surfer keeps trying tricks and losing the wave. Notce in that video that one surfer falls out and the boat kept going for a pretty good ways! "HEY SORRY DUDE! JUST HOLD YOUR BOARD UP IN THE AIR SO PEOPLE CAN SEE YOU! WE WILL BE BACK TO GET YOU AFTER JUSTIN FALLS!" LOL!

But I guess the same can be said about double kneeboarding and wakeboarding etc...

thanks for the info. i knew about the permit thing, but didnt know they required a boating course. been to hells canyon a bunch on a friends jet boat, and stopped by oregon cops, other than the border inspection, they seemed to only worry about fishing licenses.
i have driven up by owyhee dam, but never checked out the ramp. is it paved? how much parking do they have?2022 Mojo - 400 - flow 3 - OJ 930 15.5x15 prop - 1k lead - 2.5-3k elevation

There are 2 main ramps, both are paved and have a dock. But if the water is low (will not be an issue this year) the dock can be out of the water and the tow vehicle driver will have to swim to and from the boat. Both ramps have a decent amount of parking but not nearly as much as Lucky Peak.
