2010 Northeast Reunion - Epsom, NH!

My group and I had a great time.

MacCullum's really was awesome. I couldn't believe that had boat & trailer valet service. They really made it easy.

My brother and I had a great time skiing the course behind the 200. Thanks to Pete, Mike, Keith and Rhoni! She was a really great coach, my brother and I are at different levels and she was really able to speak to both of our skill sets. We both took away valuable tips.

Keith, I have a couple short videos of my brother skiing behind the 200; I can put them up somewhere.

What a fantastic event, the insight to Correct Craft history by Mr. Ralph was something that you can't read in a book
1st reunioun of hopefully many more as a pleasure to meet with some very nice people
a + to win some $ to put towards replacement wakeboard- 2nd this year--kids! if there is way to link/post video please let me know, wake to wake to kersplat

It was a treat for me to see those boats together as well, so much so that it was the only picture I took the entire weekend



WAKE-up --- Sorry I can't put a name and face to the screen name but as to the broken board I pulled a binding out of hyperlite two years ago at the NE reunion on a botched W2W 180 landing and hyperlite replaced the board even though it was 3 model years old (it was spotless though I hadnt used it due to a long recovery from an ankle injury) with a new one... so it might be worth talking to whomever you bought your board from.

As to the reunion it was a great time as always.. a little on the short side.. I always seem to find myself late to everything as I am trying to eek a few more moments of the previous activity or sneek in one more conversation. I didn't quite get to having a drink on every boat but I caught all the ones that would sit still long enough and met a lot of new charecters.. um I mean great people as a result. One of these years I would like to ski behind as many different boats as possible, although that is going to require me getting in better shape or finding some bigger skis because I am fully whipped from this weekends watersports.

I did manage to Slalom Ski (twice), sky ski (twice), surf, barefoot, and wakeboard... all of which with the exception of my slalom clinic on the first day was able to occur in pretty darn good water conditions. Definitely a personal best for the amount of actual watersports accomplished during a CCfan reunion.. this I can attribute to the venue.. both in terms of lake conditions, and in lack of a walking distance bar allowing me to get up for early morning activities each day.

Thanks to the Keith, McCallums, and the rest of the sponsors it was a very nice event put together very quickly.. totally worth driving my uncovered boat home through 6.5 hours of relentless wind and rain. Thanks as well to all those who gave me rides, pulls, drinks, and great conversations...

Another highlight for me was riding in two of the four fastest boats for the official GPS speed trial. Riding in Joe's rocket to document the 58.6 (and it has more if it can stay stable) and the Classic's very respectable 51.9 was a first for me!

No problem Paul, I suspected I might have gotten the chance to meet you but without the real name or the picture of the boat I would have been grasping at straws... cool boat...glad I had a chance to talk with you and the crew, even if only briefly over the weekend. I was getting pretty good at pulling out those inserts as well and even tearing apart boots.. so far this year so good... but that probably means I am just not pushing hard enough. I havnt resorted to putting a carriage bolt through a board to hold down a binding yet... but in a pinch...

Keith et al,
What was the history that Mr. Melloon revealed? It seemed from the context that it was something that most wouldn't know or think about. Please tell.

I'm trying to think of a word to sum up this weekend.

"Thankful"

And that goes to everyone who was there.

Peter MacCallum, your house was our house for the weekend.
First Class Dealership Staff... thank you !!

Mr.Ralph family getting me there. thank you !!
Keith getting me from the airport on Thursday... thank you !!

And a big "THANK YOU" to Eric Svensson a.k.a. "LOON RIDER"

You and Mike took me under your wings the whole weekend.
How can I say thank you for that. And that's how I come up with
the word "Thankful".

Just another great event had with all....

He helped with launching and retrieving,filling and emptying ballast sacs,hung out on the sun deck coaching surfers for hours, manned the helm (along with the volume knob) so I could get some time on the water, offered up his cottage on the lake Sat night saving the Godfather and I from Room#6 , and single handidly stowed a whole floor full of gear,ropes, vests,boards,etc away in my boat (in the rain, no less) before his own boat was even out of the water. You're the man dude.

Thanks man I really appreciate the kind words. But you make it sound like some of that was work! Hanging out with great people, showing them how to surf, burning more of your fuel, which you wouldn't let me help chip in towards, by adding more weight to the boat, blasting "Bad Company" by Five Finger Death Punch and creating a bro-mance through that song. You guys are more than welcome any time at the cottage dude. I had a great time out on youre boat man and appreciate you letting me hang out on your boat all weekend.

You're very welcome Dave. It was a privilege getting to know you better and hearing all your stories of your many years at the great company that we all love so much!

This website is such an amazing success. I emailed Keith asking if it would be ok for me to make some business cards up just with the website name. This question was a result of being at a rest area in MA on my way home sunday and being questioned about my boat by a woman who saw Rieds "crush boat" and the classic go by a few minutes prior to me stopping for a leak. I got to chatting with her about our group of people involved in the sit and how people travel from far and wide to be at these events. And I told her the website name since her husband was a CC owner and knew enough about the boats to know my monster tower was and add on, BUT i feel like sometimes people may not remember the name due to its length even tho we think its a very simple name. But its just amazing how much these boats and this site can open up conversations with random people. Its a great site to be involved with

Keith,

Will there be an opportunity to purchase reunion t-shirts from the CCF store this year?

Sure would like to have one.....

You bet I'm hooked! You and Eric had me surfing in no time. Surfing is a blast. As I kept saying, I could do that all day!

Mike, I second your comments on Eric and throw them right back at you. You must have pulled 20 different people behind your 210. You successfully converted a handful of skiers to appreciate towers and big wakes.

I agree, looks too young.

It wasn't that she's too young, she's 33 I think, and if I had gotten my way she would have been sleeping in room 6 of the Northwood Motel and been revealing her inner cougarness.

Hey Guys,
It was great getting to know most of you on friday...Next year I am going to have to stay longer than the one day!
Keith, thanks for a great time...skiing with Rhoni was awesome!

Few more pics
