If you type 'wakeskate' into Google Earth's search bar, it will actually zoom in on Electricsnow's room where she keeps her collection.

I just pick a river or stream, etc... and follow it until I see whitewater somewhere. You can also type in "grist mills" and things like that and it comes up with places, but not all of them are relevant.

unfortunately southern california doesn't have water everywhere like some other parts of the country so it's gonna be a little harder looking for spots. Other than looking for blue spots, you can look for areas that are really green or low spots where water might collect when it rains. I saw a flooded racetrack when driving up the 101 that looked like winching paradise.
