    2 Aussies heading to USA, July, Help to find a ride? LA, Vegas, Lake Powell, San Fran

    Hey Guys and Girls.


    First post for me, but regularly checking the forum and posts.


    My names Jacob Weal, 22, Also travelling with me is my girlfriend, Tori, 23,and were from Bathurst, NSW, Australia. Roughly 3 hours west of Sydney.

    In about 3 weeks, myself and my girlfriend, Tori, are heading over to America, in July, starting at LA, then on to Vegas, hire a car and head out to Lake Powell for a few days, then up to San Fran, Yosemite and then head back home.


    As most of you probably know, it is no winter over here, and had some first snow the last few days, which means limited boating here, what a bummer.


    Anyway, a bit more info, I own a 2013 Super Air Nautique 210, with NSS, and fly high ballast, and love the boat, awesome wake and the surf wave is unreal. Which myself, girlfriend and mates love to get out and have a good time.



    So, my particular question I have to the Planet Nautique Community is, and I'm asking a massive favour, is, would anyway be kind enough, if they are using there boats, to allow us 2 to jump in with you guys and see some of the waterways around the West Coast area?


    Some dates of were we will be are: LA from 30 June, Tuesday, to 8 July, Wednesday, then to Vegas, from 9 July, Thursday to Sunday the 12, July, which we then head on out to Lake Powell, from the Monday 13, July to the 16, Thursday, then up to San Fran from the 16 to the 20 of July.


    I guess the main 2 spots that maybe could work for someone would be at Vegas, head out to Lake Mead? But the main one is Lake Powell, Monday the 13 to Thursday 16? If we could find someone to jump in with while we are at America, you would probably be the best part of our trip, that would be awesome, and to experience what looks to be a magical spot to use a boat!!



    If anyway can help us out that would be absolutely awesome, as we are both keen wake boarders and surfers, and love the Nautique Boats. And as I know, I don't want any of it for free. So if anyone could help us out that would be awesome, and yes there will be money for fuel, beers and whatever else you want. We just want to get out and have a good time, and see what its like to go boating in America compared to here in Australia.



    Again Guys and Girls, if anyone can help us out or knows someone who can that would be greatly appreciated. We are also interested, in just getting the locals experience of the locations.



    Cheers Guys

        Cheers S Kelly 2000, and haha Quinner, guess if anyone is willing to take us for a spin and show us around the sights, they will get beer, fuel money, but not sure how the girlfriend will like about pictures? haha


        Back on track, like I said if anyone knows of someone or are willing to take us, yes you will make our holiday. Otherwise looks like I'll be wondering around the shore of Lake Powell with a cartoon of beer, or spirits haha on my shoulder, with a pocket fuel of cash!


        Cheers Guys

                I'm in Encinitas, 90 miles south of LA. I'm on vacation until July 5. Small chance of going out in local salt water lagoon in Carlsbad on Tuesday July 7. It'd just be for a few hours in the early morning. Probably won't decide until July 6, either if I can swing it. Glad to take you, if stars align and not too far for you.
                I was treated royally when I lived in Perth 20 years ago.

                Best I can offer for now.

                  Hey DW SD, Ill have a look at what we have got planned around that date, if the dates line up, and I get a rental car, it could be a possibility.

                  Will let you know ASAP

                          So we have made it to America,



                          Currently in LA and head out to Vegas on Thursday.


                          I appreciate everyone that has left a message back so far, but seems it is now closer I can now be a lot more specific for when we can get out, if anyone is willing to help us out with a ride?

                          For Vegas, guessing we could head out the Lake Mead, Friday is out, but either Saturday or Sunday is good for us?? Can anyone help out there? I also think we are picking up a car either Saturday or Sunday as well.


                          After that we will then drive the car out to Lake Powell on Monday until Thursday. This is the main time a boat to jump in would be awesome. So if anyone can help out and don't mind us tagging along that would be absolutely awesome?? And hopefully show us the Local spots of what looks like to be an unreal lake.

                          Unfortunately, I don't think we will have enough time in San Fran to get to the Delta this trip.


                          But like I have always said, if anyone can take us out, we are more then happy to help out in anyway, and will give you some cash for fuel and whatever else, so if you don't mind, please let me know?



                          Cheers Guys,


                          Jacob and Tori

                              You might have some luck posting on the Find a Third thread on Wakeworld as well. Good luck and enjoy your trip.
