How Did You Start Going to the Water?

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.

So what year are you talking here? I was at Crazy Horse pretty much every spring break and big weekend from 85 thru 87 (I graduated HS in 87). My buddy had a Lifted Grey Toyota truck on 40's with a couple thousand watt stereo system in it. We would go to North Beach (I think that's what they called it) before it was developed and start the party. It was absolutely insane (girls dancing & flashing in truck beds, Palm trees set on fire, hand guns firing in the air and just about everyone was under age). I have so many stories I could tell. It got so bad that Crazy Horse started charging to just to come into the campground and party. The local Havasu girls would come down to party and they wouldn't bring anything to drink...just cups. When we weren't staying at Crazy Horse another friend of mine had a place at the Isle condos so we would just sneak in from there. I am sure our paths crossed back then.

You better get William to throw up some of pictures of Old School Crazy Horse. I only have a couple pictures from those days. Here's a couple at my buddy's condo a friend of mine took.

This is the start of the party at the condo. Shorty after this picture we went over to Crazy Horse to party. I am the goofy one with the Cig in my mouth (what a dumb ass I thought I was so cool).

This pictures is of the morning after. You might think to yourself where's 78Southwind? Well let's just say he didn't make it back to the condo that night and on his way home from someones house in the morning he was still drunk. He didn't want to wake anyone up by ringing the phone to have someone open the gate so he tried to find what he thought was a better idea. This better idea was to make his own entrance through the next door property. Well that didn't work very well and Havasu's finest gave me the break of my life.
