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. _________________ Sattelyte Wakeskates

| 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. |
