I've never heard of lake kurwongbah , just googled and had no idea it was there. I live at the gold coast but my misses family live in Samford, might have to go check it out one day.
Atkinson is good, but is really open and gets choppy with any kind of wind. we generally get a wakeboarding in early in the morning when it's calm then when the wind picks up, throw people around on the tubes then wake again in the arv when the wind drops off again. the shape of lake kurwongbah looks like you'd be able to find some nice protected spots with flat water

Used to ski a fair bit and was just getting my wake to wake jumps sorted on the board when space and money forced me to sell my boat 1.5years ago. Used to go down to north pine river and out to summerset for weekends

It is a small lake and you have to be a member to ski on it.i think it is a 10 year plus waiting list,any more than 5 boats at once and it's pretty crowded.there is a rowing club as well and some of the lake is only for there use.i'm lucky my neighbour is a member and mad keen skier.

I have not been for a ski or board for 10 years or so, I used to teach blind and disable to ski aswell as first timers, was a sweet gig

Yep got a jet ski and mate and my uncle both have boats! Usually go to my uncles at lake eppalock (here in vic) or greenslake! Hoping to get up to echocardiogram this year. I only have a young family and the kids absolutely love it!

Yep, we'll I used to. I've had a couple of boats over the years but sold them when I expanded the business each time. I can't do it now with my back injury and it sucks. We used to ski at the hazel wood poundage during winter as the water is 30 degrees and would shi at lake eildon or waranga basin over summer. The good old days

Yeah the water is warm because it goes through the cooling system of one of the power stations. You come out glowing green but its all good. Lol

We have been skiing for over 20 years in my family and we try and get out as much as we can when its warm. Places to ski here in the West are getting few and far between, we go to a place call Lake Towerrinning. Its a great place to go, its about 3 hours for Perth and very hard to get in in peak seasons as they only let a limit of boats on the water..
Here is a pic of the boat hooked up to the Nav..

been around boats most my life, never owned one till last season, loving it! bought an American import Malibu flightcraft, bit long in the tooth n could use a good spruce up but I said right from the start, it was not gunna turn into another money pit lol. got an uncle in Dennie on the Edwards, sister in laws got a van in Tocumwal, and my sister lives in Mildura so a boat was always inevitable. BTW we make everyone else out on the water look good haha

Been skiing for a few years now. Just upgraded our boat to a 2006 Centurion T5 imported from the US. Was out in it today but no waterskiing in Jindabyne yet with the water temp of about 8 degrees!
