Lake Havasu

Joe Balint and his "New to Him" Super Sport Nautique

The crew included Tom Bugg, Shawn Kelsh, JJ Atamian, Joey DiNapoli, Joe Balint and myself. We were all in Havasu for the Just Ride competition and Joe happened to bring his brand new Nauti from LA to the event. Super Clean wake, we had some phat sack issues at first, but hey it was the first weekend with the boat. Let's Ride!!

 

 

Is that David Hasslehoff jumping in to save a Grouper?

 

JJ is trying to start a new trend

Anyone want to guess how deep the water is?

Yes, JJ did manage to land this

Best Quote of the day had to come from Joey. Shawn was telling us how certain patches of the river are low, have wildlife near them and what have you and he mentions to avoid the reeds and bushes at all costs because that's where the water moccasins live and breed. Joey busts out.... "There are water moccasins in the river? You're kidding right? I could have died not knowing there were snakes in this river...."

I can't wait for the opportunity to make it out to LA and ride with Joe and is family on their home water. Riding in Havasu was an awesome experience and for camping/early morning glass I would recommend it, but otherwise go there to party and see your friends, otherwise you will be soley disappointed. Hard to believe that I attended ASU and never made it down to Havasu to join in any of the Mayhem all of those years, I was too busy creating my own!
