[GI] Waterski Meet Reading - Grant - 11-08-2013
So my father and myself dabble in a bit of waterskiing at the weekends. We gave it a miss last season due to injuries, but have been back in the game this year. I was speaking to one of the club owners, and they are happy for us to have a day down there. The details are as below:
-A freshwater lake in reading with two Malibu 4.8 v8 freshwater craft with qualified drivers, full british slalom course.
-Any ability ranges from beginners to professional
-Full facilities, including oil drum BBQ!
-Ringo/banana boat
The way the club runs it, is guests can have a morning (8am-12pm) on a saturday to ski. You can either book a half session for 10 people (so we would be sharing with another 10 people from elsewhere) or we could book a full morning session if we had 20 people.
Prices are £16 a tow. That see's you 3 times around the lake, which believe me is more than enough in one hit.
Payment would be required before we go via paypal, to secure the booking.
Any body fancy it?

or we could all just come to mine and use my speedboat, waterskiis, wakeboard and donut for about £120 for the day...
RE: [GI] Waterski Meet Reading - Just Sean - 11-08-2013

Over in Ipswich?
RE: [GI] Waterski Meet Reading - Niall - 11-08-2013
I'm game either way but I like the sound of rowells idea if it's just 120 quid for all of us for the day. Will be a hell of a lot more cost effective!

fletcher 155. It has 306 seats in it and an evinrude 70
Yeh it would be at Bawdsey Quay Watersports Centre where I work. Price is just fuel etc. Not sure I could take a million people though as it seats 5 and we would be in the watersports area a mile up river from car parking and the centre etc. x

RE: [GI] Waterski Meet Reading - Fooby - 11-08-2013

Neither do i. Grant and his old man dragged me along last year and i was f*cking terrible at it but it was a right good laugh for the 1 or 2 seconds i managed to stand on the ski's lol.
RE: [GI] Waterski Meet Reading - Jonny81191 - 11-08-2013
I'd be up for either, depending on dates and my financial situation closer to the time!
RE: [GI] Waterski Meet Reading - Eeyore - 11-08-2013
itll work out cheaper to use my boat for the day. Its just wether the conditions are right and if i will have time to organise it! keep pestering me people. its the only way ill get it done!
RE: [GI] Waterski Meet Reading - Grant - 11-08-2013
How does it cope with monoski deep water starts Sam? Will it pull out of the water fine?
Thats a really generous offer, and could be well worth a pop!
RE: [GI] Waterski Meet Reading - Eeyore - 12-08-2013
i dont think its really powerful enough for monoskiing. My friend tried it on mine and just wobbled dug in and fell over :/ All up for trying it though!
RE: [GI] Waterski Meet Reading - Jonny81191 - 12-08-2013
Sam if we are going to go to yours, I have access to a Rib? 50hp 2 stroke on a boat rated to 40hp
