Brostock 2011

[jonyb]

Anybody going? I think we had this discussion before, but I thought I'd bring it back up. I'm thinking about going, and taking my boat. Having a hard time finding anyone to give info on where to stay, etc. I'll be driving 6 hours to get there on Friday the 24th, then going home on Sunday morning.

If anyone is going or is from that area, give me some info please!!

[michael hunter]

We went to a get together in NC at the first of the month. 330 miles each way. Between towing and boat gas we spent between 450 and 500 for fuel plus motel. I dont see anymore trips in the future especially with lake Lanier in my back yard.

[dusty2221]

We have a group going this year from Texas, with another group from Arkansas.

[jonyb]

Any insight on lodging Dusty?

[dusty2221]

I'm along for the ride on this one, KG can give you some insight, I'm sure he will post up shortly when he sees this. He booked a cabin on the lake somewhere isolated.

[KG's Supra24]

Brostock 2011 is June 24-26.

Bel Arco is the hotel that was "homebase" last year. They had the introductions, awards ceremonies, and little gatherings each night there.

Bel Arco will be the spot to try to book first. From there, you will have to drive over to Bull Shoals Lake Boat Dock which is right down the highway. Less than 5 minute drive. That is where you will put in. I don't know if they take reservations ahead of time (have to call) but last year we were able to rent a slip for $10 a night.

There is another hotel right at the entrance to Bull Shoals Lake Boat Dock but I don't know the name of that one. It would be fine if you are not interested in being right at the nightly events.

If you plan to drive over to the nightly events, don't even think about drinking and driving. This was heavily enforced last year and was their biggest concern. I believe they even had the entrance/exit to Bel Arco setup as a road block/check point.

I do not know the status on houseboat rentals. Last year I think Liquid Force tried to rent all of them but I am not sure.

[KG's Supra24]

^ Copied that thread from another. Hopefully that answers some of the questions.

I would probably start at bel arco. If they don't have rooms they can give you the phone numbers to other close locations. There are only a few other hotels in the area.

[wolff]

I went last year.
Everything was based out of the hotel above and the Bull shouls boat dock.
Last year we decided to go a month from the date and could not get rooms for 20 people around bull shoals so we camped at the bull shoals marina. If you went last year i had the red school bus that was about 200' from the boat dock.

I would say you want to be in the town of bull shoals if you want to be around everything.

This year we rented at brass door motel it is the one at the top of the hill by the marina.

I have a orange 07 Lunch 21V if you are around say hi.

[jonyb]

The guy taking care of the hotel situation today said that someone called and their's a room that opened up, so it looks like we'll be there. Not sure just yet where we'll be, but I think it's pretty close to the event. I'll find out in the next few days.

Just look for this :D

[KG's Supra24]

I'll be keeping my eye out. We might stop by and say hello if we see you out.

Are those the rev8's or 10's? I'm assuming 8's if you got that many to fit?

[jonyb]

Those are the Rev8's. 10's aren't available yet..... HUGE difference in those over the 3-some with Pro80's, plus there's more headroom.

If you see us and we're parked, tie up......

[dusty2221]

This makes me wish I were pulling mine up vs just riding with KG

[KG's Supra24]

Welp, only one way to fix that.

[Okie Boarder]

A buddy of mine from OKC area is headed up there. I'll tell him to keep an eye out for y'all.

[jsandy]

anybody head'n that way from the bama/tennessee area? i wanna go

[KG's Supra24]

Anyone else going from here?

[jonyb]

I think we're staying at Del Arco.....

[KG's Supra24]

I think we're staying at Del Arco.....

Yep, Bel Arco ... that is where all the non-water stuff was. They threw a little shindig with music, awards ceremony, and such.

The rooms aren't anything to write home about but it works.

[jonyb]

Whoever is going, PM me and I'll give you my cell number so we can meet up.....

[dusty2221]

We are packed and loaded. Heading to Ar as soon as I get off work tomorrow!

[wolff]

We got 3 supra's and a nautique going from Southern IL (ST louis Area).
We are all heading down Thursday and staying at the brass door.

[KG's Supra24]

Counting down the hours .......

Leaving in the A.M.!!!

Be kind to us weather!

[KG's Supra24]

We got 3 supra's and a nautique going from Southern IL (ST louis Area).

Got any pictures of what we should keep an eye out for?

[wolff]

Attached is a pick of the boat on a gooseneck this is when we went to lake powel in 2009 for Brostock.

It will be on the regular trailer this weekend.

2007 21V It also says WOLFF GANG on the back.

I do not have pics of the other boats but there will be a yellow and black supra and an all white nautique

[KG's Supra24]

Wow, that trailer is bada$$!!!

We will be in the black and red supra, almost decal-less ....

If you see us, give us a shout.

[HankC21v]

Ok, I live at Norfork lake, about 15 minutes from bull shoals. My question is
Brostock kid friendly? Can you leave anytime, guessing they don't block the
Cove off?

[dusty2221]

Last year there were kids there. Kg was tired up to a group with kids and said the kids seemed to have a blast. We both have our little girls with us, 3 and 4 yo.

Last year boats came in and out of the cove.

[wolff]

You can come and go during the comp.
For kids i did not see anthing bad just a lot of drinking.
I think you just have to watch the group you tie up with.

[HankC21v]

Ok, well we will be there. We will be in a 242 worlds edition so watch out for us.

[jonyb]

And possibly loud, vulgar music. I typically try to raft up where there aren't any kids, jsygk.

[jonyb]

Just got in, had a blast. Met up with KG, Dusty, and one of Okie Boarders friends. Randall Harris, Rusty Malinoski, and Ricky Gonzalez were our next door neighbors at the hotel and rode out to the tourney with us in my boat on Saturday, pretty cool guys....

Saturday morning I noticed my camera missing. I had it out with us on Friday, and I can't remember if I took it out out the boat when we parked in the slip, or I left it in there. Either way, it's gone. Whether it was lost or stolen, it was a huge loss. If anyone hears anything, or knows anything, there's a small reward. The camera was a Nikon D50 with an 18-70mm lens, an 8gb card with pics of my kid, and a $400 Canon video camera. It was all in the same bag. Everyone please watch out on the other forums too, maybe it'll show up.

[haugy]

Oh damn man, that sucks!!!! If I see any pics show up like the one you sent me, I'll on them like white on rice.

[KG's Supra24]

Hank, hope yall got it all figured out!

The place we were tied up this year was definitely less kid friendly than last year but they still had a good time. Also a couple more boats this year, coming in and out where we were wasn't really an option.

Jonyb, it sounds like we have the same camera bag. Well had. That sucks man. I made mention to a couple people on my boat that I felt we needed to put stuff away. At one point we had one of the riders come on board and he was doing a lot of looking around and moving of life jackets. I believe the wife "politely" asked him to swim on.

[Okie Boarder]

jony...sorry to here that man! Glad you had fun. Sounds like my friend really had a blast. Anyone get some good pics? Post 'em up.

[jonyb]

Man you're friends were pretty cool. We hung out Saturday night for a while. Whitney's wife actually got in my boat at the hotel and tried to help clean it out and get everything situated when she saw a couple of my friends weren't doing much. I wish I would've known their situation, they could've rode out with us on Saturday.

I know what you mean, there were so many stragglers around on all the boats it got hard keeping an eye on stuff. The only time I ever left my boat was when I came to see you guys (it was already gone at that point), so I'm not really sure if it was lost on the dock or someone took it out of the boat. Great meeting you and Dusty this weekend. Nice to put a face to the name on here. That's how Haugy and I met, and everytime we get down in his neck of the woods we'll all go hang out. Forums are great for things like this.


Oh damn man, that sucks!!!! If I see any pics show up like the one you sent me, I'll on them like white on rice.
Unfortunately the only pics on the camera were of my kid from last Christmas, so they probably won't be posted up. The pic I sent you was taken on my phone. Here are the only 3 pictures I made it home with.

Did you say......."excuse me rusty.... do you mind taking your shoes off in my boat?" ha ha... that might be a hard one to actually execute...

[jonyb]

Did you say......."excuse me rusty.... do you mind taking your shoes off in my boat?" ha ha... that might be a hard one to actually execute...

When they were getting in, I noticed Ricky tell Randall to take his off. I wasn't gonna say anything either way, it was an honor having those guys with us. They rode back from the barling alley Friday night in my truck too, so it was cool just hanging out with everybody.

[dusty2221]

We have over 600 pics to dig through that span from Wednesday morning to Saturday night. It's gonna take me a bit to go thru all of them. Here are the few we snapped when we met up with JonyB and a shot or 2 of the tie up.

jonyb-Man it was great to met ya and thanks for giving David an I a pull! Wish we had met up earlier in the week for sure!

[dusty2221]

The mega tie up. The boats linked together on one end and went all the way around one side of the comp area. Insane. We just happened to end up 5 boats away from jonyb.

I wish I would've known their situation, they could've rode out with us on Saturday.

They are good people, that's for sure! We feel really blessed to have met them and become friends.

[haugy]

Wow, that looks very familiar. 2 more weeks till Board Bonanza!!

Can't believe yall had to worry that much about people on your boat. At our tie ups, I'll make sure stuff is hidden, but never really worry about leaving my boat. The only thing that's of value at our events is the beer.

[jonyb]

Eric I wanna come down for BB, but not sure if I will or not. Our shift is on midnights that weekend. I've got plenty of vacation, but my homies and wife are all on the same shift and they probably won't vacate for it. I'll let you know. May need a couch if you've got an extra one.

[haugy]

If you can't make BB, wake fest is the last weekend of July. I know Britt will be more apt to party then seeing as she's still getting back into shape, and the little one is still only 4 wks old now.

We've got a spare bedroom if you need it. You'll just have to fight Whiskey for it, it's his now. :D

[jonyb]

I saw a guy fight with whiskey last weekend. The whiskey bottle lost, quickly.....

[Chunnetter]

A buddy of mine from OKC area is headed up there. I'll tell him to keep an eye out for y'all.

[haugy]

Ummmmmm......Brostock already happened. If he goes up there, he'll be alone.

[rdlangston13]

So I am trying to convince my girl friend to go to brostock next year. She keeps saying "I dont see why we have to drive 500 miles to go wake boarding". Give me a good counter argument you used on your wives or girl friends!

[KG's Supra24]

Some of these might help ....

What is up with the Supra with the tower platform? Was that a permanent structure?

The tuna tower on the blue Supra is awesome, they should offer that as an option :p

Looks like a blast, wish it wasnt so far for me

So I am trying to convince my girl friend to go to brostock next year. She keeps saying "I dont see why we have to drive 500 miles to go wake boarding". Give me a good counter argument you used on your wives or girl friends!

I feel like these pics should do that for you....

Not to mention, add in a group of close friends and stretch it into a vacation like we did (got there Wednesday) and you have nearly a week of awesome water with great friends!
