Default Biggest LOTO waves???

Whats the truth? I've heard WP has recorded 12ft swells coming out of PartyCove on holiday weekends. Any truth to that?
Whats your big wave story in the washing machine???

I punched one almost in front of toad two big Sea Rays went by on the same on each side on a rough weekend already. About a half a foot of water came over the windshield soaked us all that was the worst one. Don't want to do that with any speed I know.

I also heard Baja had the most warranty claims on the hull on LOTO than any other water too. Don't know if that one true too.

I have seen maybe up to 8 foot wakes caused by some of the really big cruisers. It was rumored that Prewitt's 65' Sea Ray could throw a 12-13 foot wake. All LOTO wakes are estimates though. I still say the biggest water I have ever been in is after a fireworks show.

waves after the fireworks and after the shootout when it was at Shooters were by far the biggest waves, I would say that 6 footers would be the biggest on those occassions, normal on a weekend is 3-4's multi direction waves

That's the scariest water I've seen.

We've spent more than a few late afternoons on the skis outside of party cove waiting for the BIG cruisers to leave. Great air, but you better d*mn well know what you're doing. Drunk people love watching jet skis fly.

Nova, you're Jamie Forbes' friend, aren't you? I think I met you near Dallas at another friend's house. I was on my way to a motorcycle race in Louisiana. You guys had a Supercross party weekend.

Garys Sea Ray is a 61' and nothing compared to the 65' Marquis called Our Country Club. I heard it flipped a dock over once.


The biggest water ever here was 2004 Shootout when the thunder storm came in fast right after the show was over. I had my 43' Flat deck it was fun.

Never seen a 12'
