NORTH-SOUTH ” GARDEN STATE WAKE-OFF” PRESENTED BY “LAKE HOPATCONG MARINE”â€by LFâ€s Jeff Barton…
IT STARTED OUT AS A NJ, NORTH VS. SOUTH. THEN RYAN SORENSON FROM LK. HOPATCONG MARINE A FIRST YEAR DEALER EMAILED ME AND ASKED ME FOR SOME ASSISTANCE IN RECRUITING SOME REAL QUALIFIED JUDGES FOR THE EVENT AND TOLD ME HE ALREADY HAD TALKED TO J.B. ABOUT COMMENTATING. SO ALL I DID WAS SOUND OUT A LITTLE EMAIL BLAST ONE TO THE TEAM AND ONE TO THE SHOPS. DUDE IN 48 HRS. HE HAD TO SHUT DOWN REGISTRATION, IT WAS A LITTLE CRAZY. HE WANTED 60 AT MOST AND STOPPED AT 70…. WHOOOOOH! IT WAS AN UNREAL EVENT WHERE ALL THE WAKE FAMILIES FROM NEW ENGLAND GOT TO MEET ALL THE WAKE FAMILIES FROM THE MID-LANTIC. WHAT A REALLY COOL DOWN HOME EVENT. THE MARINE POLICE SHUT OFF THE WHOLE END OF THE HUGE LAKE HOPATCONG JUST FOR THE EVENT. MR. SORENSON “RON”, RYAN’S DAD MANNED THIS FRIGGIN’ WATER SKI BOAT CHASE BOAT THAT HAD TO BE THE FASTEST BOAT I EVER SAW ON THE WATER DISGUISED AS A SKI BOAT, WHOLLY CRAP TALK ABOUT FAST, HE HAD FALLEN RIDERS PICKED UP QUICKER THAN ANY PWC I’VE EVER SEEN, AND IT WAS TRICKED OUT WITH NO WAKE, WHEN HE BOLTED FROM THE DOCK. SO HE DIDN’T INTERUPT THE PLAYING FIELD, PRETTY SICK.
