Just wondering if there are any pictures or descriptions available of the new obstacles being put in this year. Sooooo stoked about it and my curiosity is killing me!

What is happening with the old ones? Being refactored and used as supplies for the new ones?

Also, will there be a big kicker for regular stance riders on the heel side? The wedge last year was ok, but it was tough on the knees and ankles.

We are almost done with an 80 ft A-frame with a moster wall rider down the left side of it. This obstacle will be on the far side of the lake on the right side. We took out the small transitional kicker (which was never very good). We built an up rail with Trex and we will probably put that in the water after May 1st. We are refloating the scions flat rail. The wedge is getting an overhaul. We are refloating it and extending the plastic so it will sit higher in the water and will be a lot easier on the knees. The transfer box is having a complete overall to fix all the dips and ripples in the plastic and we are resheeting the entire back side. Once we open (May 1st), we will begin construction of our new slider. We are toying with a couple designs but I do know it will be sick.

So this new A-Frame... It's going to have a wall rider, similar to the transition box? Sorry, I need a little clarification since I'm not completely in with the terms.

Also just to clarify, it will be out the ride side of the lake, so close to the shore and the wall will face the island, correct?

The wall ride will be similar to the transfer box but much longer and a different shape. Correct, the obstacle will be on the right side of the lake and the wall ride will be on the island side. So if you ride goofy, you will be hitting it on your heel side.

Is it hard to hit wall rides heel side?

You can always hit it switch on your toe side.
