Record snow fall is likely to result in above-average Deep Creek Lake water levels as warmer temperatures melt the snow pack. In an effort to mitigate the impacts of a rapid snow melt, Deep Creek Hydroelectric, in collaboration with state agencies, is lowering the level of Deep Creek Lake by two feet between March 1 and March 4.
Hazards always exist when recreating on naturally-formed ice. Residents and recreational users should USE EXTRA CAUTION when on or near Deep Creek Lake for the remainder of winter. Lower water levels and warmer temperatures may result in the following dangers:
Ice that cracks or suddenly shifts as additional weight is applied
Ice that shifts, lifts, and/or settles creating unexpected ridges
Ice slabs that break off near the shoreline, creating open water between stable interior ice and the shore

Deep Creek Marina recently received Five Star Certification from Yamaha Outboards. Just back from Kennesaw, GA, having just completed master technician courses in early December, our delaership receives it latest award.
The 5 Star achievement indicates that our dealership has actively engaged in and passed all the Marine training opportunities that Yamaha offers. This would include technical training at a Marine training center, business management training, and service management training. This dealership’s technicians have attended and completed many of the technical training courses offered by Yamaha. We will have master technician certification by May 1st, something fewer than five percent of dealers have attained.

Even if demand for new boats is slow to recover, Edward Aaron, analyst for RBC Capital Markets Corp., suggests that there is reason to be optimistic about Brunswick’s stock performance moving forward.
“With liquidity risks now behind it and dealer inventories coming in line,” he explained in a report released this morning, “we view [Brunswick] as a compelling three-year earnings recovery story. We believe the rate of improvement in profitability and inventory metrics beginning in 2010 will provide reason for optimism, even if demand is slow to recover.”
RBC’s report outlines, through a survey of nearly 150 dealers, that consumer confidence and the availability of financing are the leading concerns among marine dealers. In response to a question that asked dealers what they though were the biggest challenges they currently faced, nearly 75 percent of dealers said, “low consumer confidence,” and 60 percent of dealers noted “tighter lending standards.” After that, “competitor discounting” (40-plus percent) and “poor showroom traffic” (35-plus percent) followed as the largest challenges.

Despite these challenges, however, Aaron suggests that Brunswick’s production should be significantly higher in 2010-2011, even if demand does not improve.
“With flat demand, we estimate that Brunswick’s boat segment revenue will grow 65 percent and 35 percent, respectively, over the next two years,” he wrote in his report. “As production ramps back up, Brunswick should experience dramatic margin improvement in 2010. At the same time, we believe dealer inventory levels will fall to unprecedented low levels in 2010 (13 weeks by 3Q-10 by our math).”
In RBC’s survey, 35 percent of all dealers surveyed suggested their new boat inventory level was “about right,” and only about 6 percent suggested that it was way too high. Of the Brunswick dealers in the survey, 29 percent suggested that their inventory was “about right” and an equal number reported that their inventory was “low,” giving it a 2 on a scale of 1-5 with 1 being “way too low” and 5 being “way too high.” And only about 3 percent of the Brunswick dealers suggested their new boat inventory was “way too high,” whereas 7 percent of non-Brunswick dealers said their inventory was “way too high.”
“In 2009, we estimate that Brunswick will under-ship retail by nearly 50 percent,” Aaron added in his report. “By year-end, this should put dealer inventory at much healthier levels. Assuming flat retail demand and 1:1 inventory replenishment, Brunswick would need to roughly double production to meet demand.”
RBC Capital Markets balanced its view and report with the acknowledgement that a number of unique factors create an uncertainty about the future. They note an unusual level of recent discounting and a future that may cause Brunswick dealers to have further trouble competing with inventory liquidation by their competitors. “Moreover, if we are correct in our view that Brunswick's pipeline inventory levels could fall as low as 13 weeks next year, we believe it is highly probable that the company will leave some sales on the table,” Aaron added.

Big wheels Surf Wave Recipe given to pass along from anonymous Malibu Surfer
Water Depth -
is the most important factor. 30 feet is a good start. The deeper the better and the shallower the less powerful the wave becomes.
Smooth Water - is always a pleasant factor
Speed -
faster creates a longer wave and slower creates a shorter steeper wave. Minimum speed
is 10.4 mph max speed well I have been up to 15.8 and was able to keep up but felt like I
was running a marathon and typically ride between 12.6 and 13.0.
Faster = Advanced
Slower = Beginner
Board -some boards are slower than others,
therefore some boards can handle a faster wave than others - nuff said.
Cruise Control - helpful but I don’t always use it
Wedge - half wedge will result in slower speeds and a steeper wave (beginner) full wedge
allows for a longer wave (intermediate) and no wedge seems to create the cleanest wave
(advanced)
Factory Ballast - all full except rear right
Fat Sacs - 750 in rear locker (will result in about 550 lbs.) 550 under seat in front of rear
locker (will result in about 400 lbs.) 350 under seat nearest your batteries and largest seat
cushion (will result in about 300 lbs.) 750 on top of seat in front of rear locker, 750 on
floor length wise and next to seat in front of rear locker, 400 in walk through
You may take some water on from time to time. If the rider falls stop the boat, allow all
waves to pass and then gently retrieve your rider
Use a surf rope or you will jack yourself up
Wear a vest it makes it easier to get up
Yes a good wave can be achieved with less weight
it just will not be as powerful.
