I seemed to have missed it... what are the midwest rippers?

BKH. It is all good, I'll probably run across a few of our shirts in my travels. I didn't mean it in a negative way.

surround, MidWest Rippers is a self given name to our group of buddies that tear it up on the water, the mother club, the PLBC (powers lake boat club) was formed as a bit of an "up yours" to the local yacht club (if you call a bunch of rich pr*cks with pontoons and inboards a yacht club). It seems that they have a problem with younger people that aren't their children enjoying the lake, listening to music, having a few beers, and actually using our nautique for something other than tubing. On occasion we ski around in costumes, wigs, suits, etc. just to change it up and grap some attention, sometimes the wrong kind of attention, but none the less. We have come to the conclusion that their wakeboards and surfboard are bolted into the racks on their towers. So we formed out club to somewhat make them feel like their club is no more important than ours. I honestly cannot believe the exposure the website has gotten and the number of random people that have seen the hats (and soon to be shirts) and the website.

Bottom line, we are just a bunch of guys and girls that love hanging out at the lake and on the water and a handful of gentlemen than can tear up the water behind a boat, not driving our new SANTEs or X whatevers full out across the lake and racking up 10 hours a season.

But it is all good, we keep doing what we do, I think they understand we are a decent group and have learned to tolerate us. We are helpful to other boaters and quite polite. So there will be many more pics of showing off coming, most likely every weekend.

Wow, that got out of hand.
Yo Hollywood, anything to add?

RE: mwr

Hollywood and OTW are about the only ones on this site with any sack and attitude and that is why I've had 15 or so of their shirts on lockdown for months now and am now waiting for delivery. I want to see PLBC ink on them, though, and not just on the 50/50 t's before taking this ballhang to the next level.

:mrgreen: Hangin' low.

OTW pretty much covered it all. The PLYC was around first. We've been frequenting the same lake for just as long, and have been shunned the last few years. Money can't buy happiness...or us off a public lake.

Duece, cute kid, I got the same glasses.

I was fortunate enough to ski with Hollywood and OTW plus a few of the "Pretty Long Ball Club members last weekend, good time and good guy's, hope to hook up with them again soon.

Looks like I am going to need a couple of those shirts, probably will hold off on the Tatoo for a while yet though.

I've been skateboarding pools and ramps three or four times a week since the beginning of the year and will just be getting my boat in the water this weekend. It's been too long since getting some water time and I am looking forward to it immensely.
