Baller Luv2Ski Posted July 30, 2019 Baller Share Posted July 30, 2019 This will be our first time traveling by air to a tournament and bringing all our gear. This will also be our first time to Florida and Okeeheelee Park. I hear that the site is quite spread out and there is really a lot of walking involved to get from one event to another, so we need to plan accordingly. If you've been to the site before, I'd like to hear any tips or recommendations you have for us as newbies. We will be traveling with 2 kids (ages 13 & 7), so if there are things we should plan to check out or do in the area (on or off site), we would like to hear those recommendations as well.

Baller skierjp Posted July 30, 2019 Baller Share Posted July 30, 2019 You can drive to all the lakes.They all have plenty of parking. The practice lake has the least amount of parking. All the vendors are centered around the Main Lake. The Main lake and the East-West trick lake are close. They actually use the same dock but on separate ends.

Baller liquid d Posted July 30, 2019 Baller Share Posted July 30, 2019 Nice to have your bike/skateboard to go up and down main lake/trick lake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Iski61 Posted July 30, 2019 Baller Share Posted July 30, 2019 Try to make it Key Largo to swim with the dolphins and lunch at the shrimp shack in Islamorada then key west for diving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller TEL Posted July 30, 2019 Baller Share Posted July 30, 2019 Were on the main lake are the vendors setting up? Is the main lake were Slalom takes place or is it scattered? Do the vendors have demo rides for their skies? I was at a Pro-Am a few years back and they did that. I am going to watch and check out the vendors, most likely will part with some cash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ lpskier Posted July 30, 2019 Baller_ Share Posted July 30, 2019 Best advice: Ski your lights out when it’s your turn to go. The lakes ski great and are plenty long. No excuse for not PBing at WPB. On the other hand, you may want a chair, a big hat, sun shirt, sunscreen, rain gear and a bike. I’m sure you can rent bikes somewhere. There isn’t a lot of shade. There are plenty of bleachers but they tend to be in the sun. Drink plenty of water. Bring your wallet. There will be lots of stuff you want to buy. Don’t bother bringing a lot of Tee shirts. You’ll get plenty free ones. Lpskier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller IGski Posted July 30, 2019 Baller Share Posted July 30, 2019 Anyone have access for a practice pull near by on Weds or Thursday? A friend of mine, @Doug0404 is looking for practice pulls for his daughter. PM him if anyone can hook him up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller santangelo Posted July 30, 2019 Baller Share Posted July 30, 2019 Okeeheelee now has a cable park which would be a blast for the kids. Always fun to go to CityPlace (now called Rosemary Square) or Clematis Street in the evening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdetray Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Pentalago is 35-45 minutes North in Palm City, if people want to come up and take a tour of the site we will give them a pull. We have 42 lots on 5 interconnected lakes, starting in the low 200's. Contact Greg at 772 678 8148 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
