Well fun is what we are looking for so hopefully the water wont be too awful for a few rides. I watched some vids of the 2012 conditions and they did look awful. Last year didnt appear as bad but mother nature is unpredictable. Unfortunately we have to head out sunday morning so we probably wont get many good conditions for riding. My lake here in indiana is extremely shallow, we can make a 1/8mile run in 20ft+ foot water but then have to turn around because it gets 8-15ft deep. So deep water will be great for the XLV loaded down with our new ballast. All 6 of us are between 21 and 23 years old so we just want to see some sick boarding and meet alot of new people and have some fun.
