whats up, i live in lantana which is like 5 mintues north of delray, the best places around you is lake ida, lake osbourne, or the boyton canal right off of boyton beach blvd. also i work at the local wake store so if you need anything wake/surf related i can hook you up

I am just staring to want to find somewhere easy to learn. I thought Ida would be too cray during weekends? Whats the best weekend spot? Is the boynton canal dirty water ?

depends on what your used to, plus it all looks dirtier then it is, cause the bottom is brown muck. i go in it alot it seems fine to me. the boyton canal is amazing long, wide, always glass, and no one ever in there to bother you, plus theres a ramp right in front of where you ride. also all the lakes and canals are connected so its all the same. jupiter/tequesta has very clean saltwater and okheelee is the cleanest fresh water

So what are some good shops to buy gear from local?

The boynton canal is a great place to ride, like already mentioned its long and usually glassy. Not many people know that its not a no-wake zone so most people avoid it. Its protected by high banks, so unless the wind is blowing straight east or west, it will be calm. Osbourne is alright, but is being overtaken by weeds. I am always on either osbourne or the canal.

When I'm in Miami, I ride behind my house on the "private" lake. There I have a few rails set up, a Super Air, and Sea Doo to pull with as well as all my friends that live on the lake with their stuff too.

Sometimes I ride on the lake where "Miami Wakeboard" is/was.
