Tired of the cold yet? Dreaming of warmer days back out on the water?
Then now is the time to make summer plans for the best vacation you'll ever have with people you've never met. Guaranteed.

For the newbies...thanks to forum member TitanTN and his desire to not only see old boats on a website but to touch them in person, he had the brilliant idea to see if a group of strangers from the internet would meet in Chattanooga, TN back in 2012 and show off their beloved Supras. Amazingly, the weekend was a success and now we announce the 7th edition of this gathering.

With past attendee feedback and the ever longing search for smoother water on weekends with less crowded boat ramps, this year's event will be held in the mountains of North Georgia at Lake Nottely in Blairsville, GA.
Lake Nottely was where the "After Party" was held the last two years in which days were added for our out-of-state guests that traveled long distances and most of the reunion attendees coming over for extended water time. We hope the pristine water and clean mountain air will make up for the 1.5 hour drive our guests from Chattanooga will have to endure. We extend our thanks to those that welcomed us there with open arms for the past six years. We may be back sooner than later.

Lake Nottely is a 4,180-acre lake with 106 miles of shoreline nestled in the mountains just northwest of Blairsville. Full pool is at 1,776 feet above M.S.L. The Nottely River was dammed in 1942 to form the lake. The Tennessee Valley Authority manages the dam and it stretches almost 20 miles!
The United States Forest Service protects about 70 percent of Lake Nottely’s shoreline and almost half of the county land in which it resides. That means beautiful views from the lake especially during the fall. Lake Nottely is well known by locals for it’s incredible fishing, especially bass, and the state stocks the water to give anglers more opportunities. Here’s a link to a Lake Nottely map. http://nottely.uslakes.info/Maps/

In addition to the new location, this year the event will cover an entire week. The 2018 Southern Supra Reunion XLE (Extra Long Edition) will start Friday July 13th and conclude on Thursday, July 19th. With our faithful Ohio delegate once again attending the event and spending the week down south, he hopes to inspire others to drive the long distance as well. By dragging this out a full week, this will let our weekenders attend, those that would like to stay a week attend or those that can just do a day trip if need be. This should also eliminate any excuse as to why you cannot attend.
If you want to surf on Monday, slalom on Tuesday, and wakeboard on Wednesday, then start planning your trip now to bring the entire family.
We welcome all Supra Forum members and Supra owners.
