Shelbyville Illinois, July 30th to August 3rd 2014

[Boat Crazy]

12 hours driving Friday and 12 hours driving Sunday with a fun Saturday squeezed in between, PRICELESS !

Thanks to everyone who continue to organize the event and for all the members who made us feel welcome
especially @sstegh for the ride in/out and sharing you boat with us for the afternoon and @Boat Crazy for the wakeboard rides and @trace for the surfing, Tige rocks!

I'm left trying to figure out how I'm going to make it there next year with the boat and whole family ?

@Scottintexas , hopefully someone got some good photos of your girls on the boards. They were amazing.

@SX210Owner's Wife and @sx210owner Thank you both again for taking Caitlin out surfing and teaching her! Talk about community awesomeness! You guys ROCK! I (and she) can't believe she got up during her first session!

I can not wait to see more pictures from the weekend. Sounds like you all had an awesome time. I'll definitely have to try and make it next year, especially since Shelbyville is only a couple of hours or so away.

Deb and I want to thank everyone for making us feel so welcome on our first trip to Shelbyville. We had a great time!! Thanks to Jim Buck and Neal for taking my wife out for a surfing lesson. You guys are awesome teachers, since she was able to surf on only her 2nd or 3rd pull! Thanks again! It was awesome to meet everyone.

Wow another great year with some great friends and getting to meet new ones. It was exciting as always and the water sport action was non stop. Having issues with a boat but then everyone banding together and getting the issue fixed are things you will never forget....especially when it was fixed and test drove in the rain! The sponsors of the event were great and we had some awesome prizes to win as usual. I would like to thank everyone that put this together and all of the sponsors that donated items for this event.

@Speedling , it was great meeting you and your family, hope the trip to Cumberland was good and safe. Have fun!!!

 

[Steve & Heidi]

Thanks all for a great time.

Jeff, Neil & Jim - another stellar event as always. Thanks for all you efforts with the sponsors!

100 Jell-O shots a day seems about perfect! Even with the rain we had no issue with "takers" at the resort.

We'll work on new flavors for next year.

I already made my reservations at Lithia Resort!

Anyone up in the Fox Lake, IL area let us know. There are 39+ bars on the water that would love to have you.....and we'd love to have you.

Jeff - Can't wait to see the "diaper" dance videos!

Thanks for such a great time! Sorry we couldn't be as social as we would of liked the little man was not happy at night away from home. @OperationROL the Italian surfer was amazing! Need the recipe. Hope to meet up with any locals soon and everyone else next year...now the not so pleasant part of vacation!

What an event, 2nd year coming and felt right at home. It only took me two years to figure out Neil, Jim, and Jeff, I'm talking progress now.

Jim, kudos to you and your piloting abilities. You make surfing Easy for a beginner. Perhaps "Iceman" should be your new JBP call sign. Smooth, consistent and right on! Great job.

I brought 9 people this year (ages 6 to 70). and every one of them had a wonderful time. All said they would come back next year. Time to reserve the cabin! We were also looking at renting a houseboat next year. Perhaps we could tie up close to the raft up area.

I'll get pictures up as soon as I can.

Thanks again to all, the memories these events hold are truly priceless.

maybe next years raft up we could do a front line and a back line, with the back of the boats facing each other. It would be easier to get from one end to the other with all the people in between the boats. it's just a thought and I hope it makes sense.
@Tad Steinberg I hope your wife loves the thrust vector XL'S. let me know what she thinks when you put them on
