Nautiques down under

[peteSki]

Thought I'd start up a thread and see how many other down under Nautique owners are also members of planetnautique.com.

I'm in Sydney and mainly use my boat on the Hawkesbury River near Windsor. Mostly my group rides hydrofoils, slalom and trick.

When we started looking for my mates we found quite a few of the older ones around I Know of 2 in Perth.

That's one huge tower you've got there... how do manage to get the rope connected to the top of it?

Pete :shock:

[Hollywood]

That's a TOWER alright.

[AbunDiga909]

Hah... Yeah I kinda figured that was coming...

An explanation... uhh... its an FCT Extension, I guess... lol...

My MC-Owning-Friend showed this to me a long time ago, so that's how it came to my attention... Kinda looks like windsurfboard-sail on top of a tower to me...

Here's a article about the stiffy tower: http://www.wakeworld.com/News/2002/StiffyTower1.asp

You do have to climb up the side rails on the tower but it is worth the effort for the amount of fun out the back.

I just posted my 210 in the SHOW US Forum. I live in South West Sydney (it's not all that bad) and have a place on the Hawkesbury River at Lower Portland. Gods country in my opinion, but I'm bias.


Happy to have joined the OZ-NAUT team.


Cheers.....

Got any pics? We've probably seen each other on the water from time to time as we often ski from Windsor quite a ways down river.

The pic attached is my boat, usually seen with a black bimini not shown in this photo.

Hey pete i have seen u guys at windsor before i have a 2001 model air nautique its green and cream. there is a few around now compared to a few years ago.

[DALTONHOUSE]

I can't say I've seen you on the river Pete and I would of definately remembered your Ski-Naut. I've had my place at Lower Portland for 12 years and pretty much head up there every 2nd weekend so I'm sure we will cross paths at some point. We usually load up the crew and ride all the way to Windsor a couple of times a year so I will keep an eye out.

I stuck some pictures of my 210 in the "show us your nautique" forum but here's another one.

Cheers

Hi everyone,

We have just joined planet nautique as we have a SAN 220 on order from Chris at Correct Craft Wisemans Ferry. We are usually out on the Hawkesbury around Wisemans or Cliftonville. We have a couple of cabins at Koveda and usually go down every second weekend or so.

Our current boat is a solid yellow 2005 Wakesetter VLX which I'm sure you guys from the Hawkesbury would have seen quite often.

Anyway, just thought I'd say hello.

Wonderful pictures from Down Under.........thanks for sharing.........some of these boats look top heavy, like they would flip over :) . Your summer will be winding down soon. Ours will beginning. I skied a bit throughout this winter only because it has been mild here this year. Great boats, Great people, Great sport. We need an exchange program........endless summer.....be skiing ya

heres mine at windsor ramp

I'm posting on behalf of an unknown.. I don't know this person but I have seen them on the Hawkesbury near Windsor now for the past 3 weeks. We both seem to love the early morning Saturdays. I'm posting on their behalf in hopes that they see this post, but mostly because they are driving a classic 76 (I think 76ish anyway) Ski Nautique, which is the oldest Nautique I have ever seen in Australia to date. He's got a Monster tower on it with some wakeboard racks, and I can say that he must be running some ballast as his wakes are quite big. From what I've seen it's in good shape as the interior looks good, at least from a distance anyway.

In any case she's a good looking Nautique that is very unique to the Hawkesbury region.

Let us know who you are!

Pete
