Hi Alan,
It is beautiful. The Beaver River is no wake, till the regatta. We have the race boats, the ski show, so many different water events that both sides of the river can view. There are docks on both sides, a few wonderful restaurant/bars, a regatta pavilion, bleachers... It takes an entire year of planning and prep and on Sunday night of the regatta, it always hits me. The boats are tied up in many rows almost the entire width of the river for the fireworks and closing shows. That's the first time all weekend I usually get to sit and soak it all in. To be involved in planning an event such as this and to see all of the people lined along shore, in their boats, everywhere, my kids smiling from ear to ear....WOW! I take it all to heart and thank God for letting me be a part of it. Alan, we would love to have ccfan members there. That would be beyond awesome! Let me know ahead of time and I'll reserve all the dock space. Sanity |

Wow, What a setting for an event like that. Looks like a great waterfront.
I'd be up for a caravan to Beaver County next year gang. Just a days drive, we could pick up a pretty big crew along the way in Indiana and ohio. |

Tim,
I appreciate your concern, but I have learned through the process of planning and organizing any event, you can't make everyone happy all the time. Most of these guys are professionals and they will complete every stunt as safely as possible. I'm sure the Wright Brothers had tons of concerned citizens too. So...........if anyone wants to see more of the ski show pictures, Kyle has over 100 posted on his site Bridgewater BC River Regatta Ski Show Sanity |

Sanity-
Please tell your wakeboarding/sky ski friends to never do this again. This is a quick act to achieve death.

HW, We are on the Beaver River, in Beaver County, right below Beaver and Beaver Falls....if you look close at some of the pictures, you'll see a bridge designed to look like a Beaver. And did I mention that our dock theme was Mardi Gras?????
Sanity 
Yes, those are new shorts

Yes... You must have skied at Rohr's lake. Supposedly they ski there a lot. I just remember skiing there because the boat would sometime lift up when going over stumps....

I believe the 2009 Regatta was a success! Kyle posted alot of the ski show pics on his site www.wakeboardpittsburgh.com - as I was announcing for the most part. But, the kids had a GREAT time and had smiles on all weekend. We had a regatta photographer and I should have their pictures by Friday to post a few neat ones. In the meantime....look at the 82!!!
We didn't place in the lighted boat parade with the nautique, but we grabbed up 2nd place with the Carver! Sanity |

Tim; You were with Bubby? We did the first tournament he held at that small lake I believe his father-in-law owned. Bubby and his crew replaced us at the Cleveland Boat Show. Small world.
I had all the same thoughts about Beaver County but thought it was to easy. Gotta love those speedo shots. Hard to climb with all those jackets on wasn't it? Never used them. Blink has some "stones"...no guy climbers in our crew...we'd have busted 'em to bad. john |

Hollywood was here before. What do you think HW? Sal's is nice place to eat and the Holiday Inn on 18 that you stayed at is pretty nice.

Hahahaha....yes, but it was a sad day for me when speedo's went out of style! Blink is a barefooter and slalom skier. I'm an "old" slalom skier, but spend my time on the board now. Hmmm, maybe I'll drag the slalom ski out this weekend, as it's supposed to be nice.

I did the both quite a few years with "Bubby's Water show" probably 97-2003 or so. Then the ran out of money with the pgh regatta or something.
I remember one year when I was there barefooting at the beaver show. I was barefooting on perfect glass after a thunderstorm. Well I fell on perfect water for no reason.... Well I came up and there was a 4x4.....laying there. Well luckily one end of it was all burned and nice and smooth so I did not get hurt. I'm not a fan of barefooting in rivers. Tim |
