I will be visiting Lake Okeechobee in 2 weeks to practice and tune. Does anyone have suggestions where there is easy accessto the water and where I could set up a small buoy course?

thanx

1st stay away from the fishermen.
2nd I recommend the "old" Kissimme River area, around hwy 68 and 98 north of town. There is a free, public ramp there. Also there is one where 441 "ends" at 98 at the water, turn west a few hundred feet and you'll see it on the other side of the dyke wall. Okeechobee is not that deep. wind can make it choppy. sportsman have priority.
the "old" Kissimee area has lots of twisties, and gators on the banks. there are some wide strait-a-ways where you could set up bouy course, just stay out of the hunters/jet boats way. It's by no means crowded, just be courteous (they have guns).
some of my fovorite riding is in the Old Kissimmee area, nice long glass-flat areas for speed runs.

chris - i am @ northwood university. i usually ride @ the freshwater lake up by the airport. still breaking a motor in so i don't wanna venture too far in some unfamilar waters. when is the next time you guys plan on going out?

DAN- WE WILL RIDE THE OCEAN FOR A WHILE THIS WEEKEND AND THEN GO TO JOHN PRINCE PARK (LAKE OSBORNE) TO FLUSH THE SKIS OUT. YOU CAN GET TO THE LAKE BY THE WEST PALM AIRPORT FROM JOHN PRINCE PARK. WHAT KIND OF SKI DO YOU HAVE MAYBE WELL SEE YOU?
