for sure... i called the guy (joey) and he said they are goin to put in a cement pool filtered and everything and just put in random rails and kickers competly geared toward wakeskating... and change it up when ever they feel the need...

Why does all the cool shizzle happen in Florida Question

seems like it would run really slow. hopefully they have a few grinches and something to run the ropes back out besides people. otherwise theres gonna be long lines. im thinking stallions would be their best best for rope returns.

i dont think there gonna have a gap though. It would be awesome to have a permanent gap set up that would be optional at the start for those who felt the need to get gnarly.

canalskater, well i do know that joey owns 4 or 5 new grinches so im sure he could use more if he wanted...also i think its just a summer thing... it might be closed during the winter... dont quote me on anything though

With the fast-growing winch population I don't see this working out too well. I could be wrong.. Even if he does have 6 winches.. is he really gonna hire 6 different people to run them the whole time? I just dont see good money coming out of this like a cable park gets. It's an awesome idea..he should do a little BYOW. Haha. That would be sick.

I can't wait to hit up the mini-ramp!

lake tarpon, yea i agree with you... but it will get winching into the public at least in jax... i think they are trying to set up a clinic type of thing to teach kids to hit rails and wakeskate... not necessarily good for people to just go and hit rails
