Does anyone know when the heelside kicker is going to be fixed? I assume it will be in full repair for championship week???

Was at the park last week and was disappointed that I couldn't hit it. I think it rocks that Wake Nation has both a heelside and a toeside option, whereas OWC only has a good toeside kicker (the heelside kicker is nick named "the knee breaker" and for some reason i don't want to hit it). Will be stoked when Wakenation's is fixed!

What happened to the kicker? I was there Monday of last weekend the after someone hit it, the right float looked like it was loose. They would only have to tighten up the float, so I guess something else happened.

It's only tilted, I'm pretty sure I've seen/heard people hit that....

Try it, see what happen's. :)

it sits a little crooked in the water, but it is still hittable

they fixed it for the most part. its tilted a little bit still but u can hit it

and t-bird, pete told me he thinks that some water got into a few of the floats on the right side, thats why its tilted. they put some new ones on and it seemed to be ok today. not perfect but good enough

At one point it was almost one-side under water, but they tried to fix it. It's still a little crooked, but not by much. I'd be surprised if they fixed it before nationals, honestly, seeing as how long it's been like that. I've learned to live with it and enjoy the angle, it's still definitely hittable - cut in and exit off the high corner

they ended up fixing it perfectly for nationals. Now it's a bit crooked again, but not nearly as much as before.

Come down and check out the new kicker. It's toeside, but it's so long and angled you can pretty much hit it heelside and exit halfway up off the inside if you wanted to.
