We are going to hit my Delta rail one more time this Saturday. If you have the day free and want to come check it out, or even give it a go, you are welcome to roll down.
On weekdays, we ride in the late afternoon so there's no avoiding the Northbound traffic. We usually only ride early on Sunday mornings. I'm not a morning person, so I try to sleep in when I can :o)
'Downward pull' on the winch really depends on how the feature is made. As long as the unit is higher than the tallest part of the rail, your in pretty good shape. It doesn't actually matter too much where the rope is. The rope is simply there to keep your balance, help you spin, and get you to the end of the rail. Once your on the slider there is no need to be pulled 'up'. The rail will surely tell you where it wants you to go.
Plus, most rails are hit behind waverunners, so the rope is dang near touching the water. The only potential problem is being pulled off the side of the rail before your done with it. If you hit it right, then it's no big deal.
Winch riding, and rails is all good. No worries. Winches have a different pull, but you get used to it real quick. - The differences are like jibbing stuff winter riding, your still snowboarding, but it's different. I'm sure you know what I'm saying.
I have a mellow, ride on, flat bar type thing in the works. I'll keep you in the loop of when that goes down. That would be a good place to give rails a go.
Dang, long comment, my bad. I just get so excited. I could go on forever. You'll just have to come check out a session. Feel free to give me a call anytime.
Thanks for joining! I think I met you at the Drive premier, I was one of those dude throwing out all the words on the mic.
I know a bunch of great guys and girls in the area that would be more than happy to give you a pull behind a boat, or winch, including myself. Let me know when you have some free time, and I'll have no problem setting you up with a ride.

Welcome to Wakeutah! Keep in touch here and you can find people to meet and ride with. Just last night they had M&M Watersports bring down a Centurion to UT Lake for a session for Wakeutah members. Keep an eye out for the next meet up or demo. See ya on the water.

At this point in the game, a simple stylish 180 will do it for me. Actually don't get too excited yet. My names is Nicole and I'm an above-the-knee amputee rider. I crashed into wakeboarding in '07 as an alternative to snowboarding and now I'm a little confused as to which one I like more. I didn't really grow up around boats so its kind of an issue to find water time. So if you need gas money, let me know.
