2008 St. Croix Sortie

About the St. Croix Sortie

July 11th-13th, 2008. 50+ riders from around the country. Competition wake board boats. Riding, camping, food, music, and sun.

Although you will find a big group of us on any weekend riding together on one of our favorite lakes, or on the Saint Croix River - the Sortie is our big group ride. 2008 will be our 2nd official year for the event. Last year, with minimal preparation and only word of mouth advertising, we had about 20+ riders and another 20 non-riding guests over the course of the 3 day weekend. We expect to double those numbers this year and have added many sponsors and participants who will shower us with t-shirts, hats, decals, food, and beverages. It is going to be an amazing weekend and hope you can make it.

There will not be any structured events or competitions, but we will have a small buoy course set up in a flat water cove off of the main channel. We are working on getting items donated for a free raffle and everyone attending will be entered regardless of whether you have a ski or not.
