Red Bull National Wake

admin — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 13:19:55 +0000

On Saturday, July 31st, Pro Wakeboarders will decend on the Mid-Atlantic for two wakeboard events. First, Bay Watersports will host Wakefest 2010, a grassroots wakeboard contest at Lake Anna, VA. After the contest everyone will head north to DC to watch Parks, JD Webb, Adam Errington, Brian Grubb and some of the best riders from the contest kill it on Red Bull’s crazy sliders on the Potomac River. Check out the flyers & video below for more information.

Also, here is what is listed on the Red Bull Website:

The banks of the Potomac are about to see something special. Red Bull athletes and Professional Wakeboarders Brian Grubb, Parks Bonifay, JD Webb, and Adam Errington are taking their beloved sport to National Harbor in Washington, DC. They will fly, they will soar, they will wow the crowd with wild airs and double overhead sprays of the Potomac River.

These tremendous water athletes will be flying off of custom made features built especially for National Harbor. Towed by Red Bull Waverunners, Grub, Bonifay, Webb and Errington, along with some local wakeboarders (picked from the contest at Lake Anna earlier in the day, see flyer below), will put on quite a show for National Harbor visitors.

Ohio visits Pittsburgh

Last weekend the crew from Lake Milton, Ohio came down to downtown Pittsburgh for a day wakeboarding on the three rivers. They had recently destroyed all of their camera equipment so they put this together with a mixture of cell phones and a waterproof camera. Hooray for getting it done!

Rockin the River Boaters Bash for Charity

admin — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 14:07:50 +0000

The last few years, the Kenny Chesney concert has been the best party on the North Shore and one of the highlights of the boating season. Unfortunately Kenny decided to take a break this summer.

But don’t worry; the organizers of The Third Annual Rockin’ the River Boaters’ Bash for Charity have the next best thing… Sean West and The Poets and Pirates, The Kenny Chesney Tribute Band with special guest The Vagrants. Sean and his band are one of the hottest touring tribute acts in the country and provide the same high energy shows that made Kenny himself so popular. So clear your schedule for August 7th and make plans to head to the North Shore for what is sure to be the highlight of 2010!

Although the entertainment should prove memorable, this event is about so much more than just music. The Chinese Auction will once again feature a variety of great items for everyone to “bid” on that will interest every taste in addition to other raffles. There will also be new boats from various dealers and the newest tow vehicles and cars on display from our friends at Century 3 Chevrolet, Century 3 Kia, Monroeville Dodge and Monroeville Mazda. Various other displays will also be up from both boating related businesses and businesses outside the boating industry.

For those that want to be a part of the event, a $25 donation per person will be money we spent. You will receive dockage for the weekend at the North Shore, a catered dinner, commemorative t-shirt, complimentary Chinese Auction tickets, door prize tickets and access to the VIP tent during the concert. In addition, you will have a great view of the Sky Blast fireworks being put on by the Pirates.

If that isn’t enough to convince you to come, check out the pictures from last year. Even a little rain couldn’t keep everyone from having a great time last summer! For more information and to register, please check out the Boaters’ Bash web page.

Editor’s Note – If anyone is interested in helping out with this worthwhile event or donating an item to the Chinese auction, please feel free to e-mail one of the organizers.

Allegheny Whitefish

admin — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 14:45:50 +0000

Let me first start by saying that Pittsburgh is awesome! Where else can you work in a 64 story office tower and after work walk 15 blocks to a boat dock with a fully loaded Super Air Nautique. Once you board the boat, you are only a couple minutes away from glassy water with little other boat traffic. Yep, Pittsburgh has the best of both worlds, except when it rains.

Pittsburgh’s sewers were built over the course of the past 200 years. Like most big city’s today, when it rains the sewers overflow and drain into the river. This is not great for the people like me who swim and boat in the rivers. Luckly, the Allegheny County Health Department monitors all of this and post it online as a CSO Alert. As you will see in the video below, we ignore these.

So here’s the question – Would you swim in slightly poopy water (Allegheny Whitefish included) if you had 2 miles of glassy water all to yourselves all day?
