Wakesurfing in Pittsburgh
Posted by: | CommentsLake Raystown Roundup this weekend
Posted by: | CommentsLake Raystown is a 28 mile long, 200 foot deep lake in central Pennsylvania. On September 12 & 13, the Extreme East Coast Tour is having their “Raystown Roundup” at the Raystown Resort. There is no competition this weekend, just a get-toghther of some of the best wakeboarders from Pittsburgh, Harrisburg, Philadelphia, Washington DC, West Virginia and New Jersey. The lake is massive so there is plenty of clean water so bring your boat and get ready for an awesome weekend.
We are all trying to stay in the Pine Cabins or the Brich Campsites to keep everyone in the same area. Click here for a PDF of the resorts brochure and map. If you have any questions, hit us up here: Contact Us.
Murray Pay It Forward Program
Posted by: | CommentsI got home last night after my softball game to a nice suprise, a brand new Shaun Murray 145 wakeboard! It was shipped to me from eastern PA as part of the Shaun Murray Pay it Forward program. Basically, Shaun sends out a bunch of his boards all over the counrty for people to demo. The board arrives at your house, you ride it for a couple of days, and then you mail it to the next person.
If you are interested in riding the Murray while it is in town, shoot me an email here: www.wakeboardpittsburgh.com/contact-us
Update: The board has now been shipped off to Rhode Island, but we all had a ton of fun riding it. The new DINE board construction makes the board extremly light. I could barely tell it was a 145. The continous rocker gave the board a constant pop, but it did buck me a little more than I expected. All in all, its a really fun board and everyone should get a chance to try it.
