How Did You Start Going to the Water?

I know a lot of people grew up there but I'm first generation........

For me, it was a Kamikaze trip with two fraternity brothers for Spring Break 2000. We loaded up a tent, some beer, some food, and drove out to Havasu not knowing anything about it. We found Crazy Horse and had one of the best times ever.

The following year, we had about twelve guys go out as the stories were so epic from the year before. Once again we stayed at Crazy Horse and had a blast. I ended up dating a girl who's parents had a place at the Isles, a ridiculous Eliminator Daytona(at the time it was one of the baddest MoFos on the water) and the addiction had fully taken effect. Picked up my first boat soon after, a Monterey 206 and I have been going ever since, buying a house there, a bigger boat and more.......

Have since curtailed the trips with kids but the story is still being written.

2nd Generation for me.
Started going out with my parents as a young kid to Riverland Resort, previously Kinders. We did not have a boat but the friends did. They were all flat bottom boats with big engines! Once parents got divorced the trips stopped. Then my BFF in high school her parents had a boat and we went to Park Moabi all the time and skiied behind their fishing boat. Then we would go without the parents to Crazy horse and that's where the WMC and Wendi show started.... WMC bought his Rogers and we used that for a few years. Friends of ours had a place at Riverland Resort so we started camping their in our 19' trailer aka "The Cube" for many years had our 21' Carrera. Happened to be their on a weeks vacation and bought our Mobilehome. Sold Carrera bought the HTM, sold that because I hated it and bought the Magic Deckboat in 2005. Been boating for a very long time.

1980, a couple friends and my brother all went to Crazy Horse for the weekend. Friends brother let us take his boat. The rest is history.

This thread is going to separate the old from the young. After reading frat bros in 2000, I'm defiantly feeling old.
Oh, and I learned to ski on the strip in the late 70's. That's all I'm gonna say about that.:wink2:

I followed a horse. He drank, so I drank :D

Started going in 1975 with my buddies family, they had a trailer at the old bluewater park, then started hanging out in havasu in 1980 at Crazy Horse with another buddy. Got married and started hanging at Parker again.

There seems to be one common thread here, Crazy Horse, lol.

In 1968 my parents bought a 15' Arkansas (open bow) Traveler tri-hull with a 40hp Johnson (yes, there was a boat named this back then) and they took me and my two brothers to the Mississippi River (by Alton, Ill.) every weekend and we learned to ski and that was it, I was hooked.

I bought my first boat when I was 21 and have had six others, just all getting a little bigger, until now and have had this 35' Formula for ten years now and LOVE it.

We need to start a thread tell us your "CRAZIEST" Crazy Horse story. This thread would be epic!!! LOL Alcohol, Jail, oh nevermind.

Went to Spring Splash at La Paz County park with our mini truck club the same weekend Kinnison died. Had no idea about the river even though we were camped right on it. About 4 years later, my parents made a trip to Laughlin, came home and said we should go. So the wife and I hopped in the car with them and made the trip the same day they returned. Been hooked since.
