Baller scuppers Posted January 23, 2014 Baller Share Posted January 23, 2014 Naples to Miami is a fairly easy drive . Check that out, you may have more opportunities there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller fu_man Posted January 23, 2014 Baller Share Posted January 23, 2014 There isn't anything down there. About 6 years ago when I didn't know any better I set up a "lesson" with a guy who advertized water ski and wakeboard lessons. Although I was very specific as to what I wanted/needed when I showed up it was clear that he was not a skier and it was all about wake boarding. You are going to have to make the drive to Miami or up north to Orlando area. Lucky Lowes place was about a 2.5 hour trip from Naples if I remember right.

Baller Brewski Posted January 23, 2014 Baller Share Posted January 23, 2014 Ultimate Ski Lake is in the area. You might look them up and throw some money at someone to pull you a few sets. Try Ruth McBride she pretty well owns the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller chris_logan Posted January 23, 2014 Baller Share Posted January 23, 2014 @willski1990 There is The Ultimate Ski Lake in Estero, 25 minutes from Naples. Not sure who to get in touch with, but if you search for this address you will find it: 20600 Slalom Course Ct Estero, FL 33928 It is a really sweet site.

Baller_ MISkier Posted January 25, 2014 Baller_ Share Posted January 25, 2014 Some of the guys in my ski club rented part of Ruth Ann's house for a year and I went to stay and ski with them last January. I didn't know she passed away and I'm not sure if they do. She built the lake and the development, I believe, and it turned out very well. I was just thinking today about how cool it would be to have a place there. The worst slalom equipment I own is between my ears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller BRY Posted March 7, 2014 Baller Share Posted March 7, 2014 Its a little less than 2 hrs from Naples to Chet Raley's place in Boca Raton. http://www.pbtcenter.com 90% of the drive is on the straightest, flattest highway you will ever see. HWY 75 is a straight shot across the state right there. If Chet looks full, just call Sherry. Usually she can work you in with cancellations. Great site and one of the best coaches ever.

Baller Morgan Posted March 9, 2015 Baller Share Posted March 9, 2015 A new waterski club just opened in Fort Myers : www.edenskilake.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Edbrazil Posted March 9, 2015 Baller Share Posted March 9, 2015 Eden Ski Lake near Ft. Myers is for real. Lucky Lowe and I did the installation of their SL course. The place is still somewhat still under construction, but the on-water situation should be good. Eventually it is going to be something like a 5-star ski academy, best as I can tell.
