Txs for the photos.. we would have taken more of yours.but it makes my wife motion sick... we were actually just so awe struck but how good your boat looks..
 
We'll be out on Falls tomorrow
 
Great pics!
 
Falls Lake looks beautiful! I googled it and read an article about rules imposed to improve the water quality. Are there any issues with the water? I was considering Falls Lake State Recreation Area for a future camping trip. @Julian ....Great pictures!
 
Its a relatively new lake built on clay, so the water is never clear...that is the downside. As for quality of the water, NC is struggling with pollution laws right now...hopefully we figure it out, but there is too much fertilizer run off which causes algae growth (which is why my boat is on a lift!). But in general the water quality is decent....the beaches only close if there is a "caddyshack" incident (floating baby ruth bars anyone?) LOL
 
I'm sorry I missed you guys yesterday. I was out on Falls with some of my buddies yesterday (10:00 - 2:30), with our first pass at surfing (stock). Everyone got up - next step is ballast to get off of the rope.

Nice! If you want to borrow a couple of my ballast bags let me know...I've been wakeboarding lately....I have 4 Aerial bags (2-350s, and 2-550s).
 
@Julian I may take you up on that sometime... Thanks.
