I would love to join up for some flat water practice as well.

I just bought a playboat so I am new to it.  I really want to learn to double pump, bow stall and cartwheels.

Thanks Dave,

I sure do appreciate the kind words, but I doubt I am even half the boater he is. Anyways I do agree that I have the ability to pass on knowledge, just as everyone else does. The question is if I have the knowledge/ability that you are looking for.

I know several boaters that would consider it a big treat to learn from you also Dave. The real deal is making your self available, so if someone passes by that wants to learn you are able to lend the knowledge.

I am going to start posting trips to lakes during the weekdays mainly in the evenings. Anyone that wants to come is more than welcome to join in. All I ask is that you be willing to teach what you have in the old knowledge bank to those that are eager to learn.

This will be alot of fun, as the water levels fall for the summer, this is a great way to not only stay on the water, but also improve your skills in a huge way.

See ya guys out there!

I guess I know a few moves, but in my mind I want so much more. Like everyone says, practice practice, right. I enjoy teaching others what little I know and this summer after work the powerhouse, gene coulin park and lake meridian provide convenient access for practice.
      During the month of July my 17 year old son will be up here so I may not be available as much, but I look forward to get out there when I can. Teaching others also will help my skills, see ya out there.

I'd be happy to go to Coulon Park on Tuesdays and meet some people for some flatwater practice.  Currently, the list of tricks I can teach is a bit short (none) but I just go a playboat and some instructional videos and would love to have someone to watch my technique and vice versa. 

Tuesdays at Coulon Park (south Lake Washington) work best but I'm flexible.  Let me know if your interested.  With the water so low it would be fun to get a group together on a regular basis.

Dude, my office is 5 miles from the green and I plan on practice after work on a regular basis this fall when it's up, so keep in touch. I may hook up with you guys on tue, lately I've been hitting the house of power after work.

James,

What time and where (is there a normal spot at the park you prefer?) do you want to meet Teusday? 

Tom

 

see you there.

I'm here at Ivars, where do you usually park? I'm early
