Let the season begin!

All the ways to take to the water

A global pandemic, the ensuing shutdowns and the resulting economic struggles set up 2020 to be bad from stem to stern.

And yet, it was a banner year in some respects, particularly with a reawakening to the great outdoors and all things nautical. Boating caught a big wave of popularity.

“Boat-buying is through the roof,” Katie Grell, sales manager at Buck’s Island in Southside said. Demand has been so great that it is outpacing the ability of manufacturers to keep up. “…

It has been like this for a solid year.”

The same goes for personal watercraft, and even the trailers on which to haul them, said Chris Dobbins, general sales

manager of Speed Zone Motorsports in Gadsden.

“Last year, we were sold out for the summer before

Memorial Day even hit,” Dobbins said.

Fishing fun

The National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA), based in Chicago, Ill., notes this marked increase in boating in its January report, “U.S. Boat Sales Reached 13-year High in 2020, Recreational Boating Boom to Continue through 2021,” (posted on Business Wire, businesswire.com). The NMMA, “representing North American recreational boat, engine and accessory manufacturers, reports that retail unit sales of new powerboats in the U.S. increased last year by an estimated 12 percent over 2019. More than 310,000 new powerboats were sold in 2020, The National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA), based in Chicago, Ill., notes this marked increase in boating in its January report, “U.S. Boat Sales Reached 13-year High in 2020, Recreational Boating Boom to Continue through 2021,” (posted on Business Wire, businesswire.com). The NMMA, “representing North American

recreational boat, engine and accessory manufacturers, reports that retail unit sales of new powerboats in the U.S. increased last year by an estimated 12 percent over 2019. More than 310,000 new

powerboats were sold in 2020, levels the recreational boating industry has not seen since before the Great Recession in 2008.”

John-Michael Donahue, NMMA’s vice president of North American public affairs, told LakeLife 24/7 that figures so far in 2021 indicate the trend is continuing.

“Boat sales are expected to remain at historic levels in 2021 as manufacturers continue to fill a backlog of orders from 2020,” the NMMA report states.

Mark Hildebrant, a family owner of Woods Surfside Marina in Cropwell, said,“The lakes were crowded last year. And they are going to be as crowded or more this year.”

The pandemic shutdown in March and April of 2020 sent

uncertainty through the industry, Donahue said. But people quickly recognized that boating was a safe way to escape isolation and to enjoy family time.

Grell, too, thought 2020 was certain to be a bad sales year. “Boy, did I get it wrong. … We’ve never had a year so good!”

At the three-day Alabama Boat Show and Expo at Barber Motorsports in Leeds in March 2021, Hildebrant got a glimpse of what this year holds for boat dealers: He took 13 units to the show and sold 22. “It was crazy.”

Pontoons and Tritoons

Eddie Rush of Poor House Branch Marina in Lincoln said customers are particularly interested in pontoons and tritoons. And they want lots and lots of horsepower.

According to the NMMA report, purchases of pontoons and freshwater

Manitou tritoon

fishing boats constituted about 50 percent of new powerboat sales in 2020.

The sales are estimated to have been up 12 percent in 2020. The industry’s pre-pandemic expectations were only for a 2-percent increase.

Way back when, pontoons were just for cruising. But now, Rush said, they are built to be powerful and multipurpose.

While some people may have, in the past, had a pontoon for cruising and a separate boat for skiing or tubing, pontoons and tritoons with large engines now combine the purposes, said John Coffman, manager and mechanic with

University Marine at Pine Harbor in Pell City.

Jeff Morris, operations manager of Rodney’s Marine in Cropwell, said the versatility of tritoons is driving sales. Tritoons, he explained, can now accommodate a wide range of horsepower. “They’re not your grandpa’s pontoon anymore.” They seat 10-14 people and pull

towables, wakeboards and skiers. The innovations in toon design, motor technology, electronics, navigation system and lights add to the popularity of pontoons and tritoons. Many models also have transformable seating arrangements, such as a lounging area that folds to make a table.

The vessels are available in entry-level models to high-end products with myriad features,

Morris said. “We carefully listen and evaluate the customer needs to recommend a tritoon that is right for their style of boating.”

Coffman said pontoons and tritoons, in general, require less maintenance and are cheaper to operate than runabouts.

They are stable and give a relaxing ride, even in a wake, Rush said. “They don’t porpoise on the waves. They don’t dead-rise at takeoff (like a ski boat). It just goes straight. When you hit waves, they don’t bounce you all over the place.”

When it comes to horsepower on a pontoon or tritoon, more is better, it seems.

Ten years ago, pontoons commonly had 150hp engines. Now, they tend to have 200hp or more, said Coffman.

“We are seeing pontoons with 425hp,”

Hildebrant said.

First-Time Buyers

Coffman and Hildebrant said another

surprising trend in 2020 was the number of individuals who became first-time boat owners and lake fans.

“The uptick in sales of first-time boat owners is a big trend,” Hildebrant said.

Coffman said he saw “more people who aren’t lake people becoming lake people.”

Ryan Tyler, vice president of Skier’s Marine in Westover estimated that the number of people new to boating who came to his business was probably the largest in 10 years.

Grell said interest rates and finance terms currently available also are attracting more young buyers.

Donahue said tips on buying and enjoying boats and being safe on the water can be found

at discoverboating.com.

Wake Boats

Wake boats are getting quite a bit of attention now.

“(Wake boats) really hit the market hard in 2013,” Tyler said.

According to the NMMA report, “Sales of wake boats – popular for wakesurfing, skiing and wakeboarding and attractive to new and active boaters – are estimated to be up 20 percent to 13,000 units in 2020.”

Bennett Rambo, general manager of Rambo Marine in Westover, described wake surfing as “a low-impact sport.” He said surfing is done at slower speeds and with less intensity than other watersports.

Because the surfer rides the wake close behind the boat, the prop must be safely positioned completely away from the surfer. Rambo also said the vessels have a combination of features – such as ballast, cruise control and surf gate – to create wake.

It is all automated, Tyler said. He added that the boats are intuitive to use and drive like a sports car. He calls them “all-around, family fun boat(s).”

To create wake, the boats “have to have a lot of power and torque,” Tyler continued. Nonetheless, the wake size can be tailored to the surfer’s weight and skill level. “It’s not a one-size-fits-all wave.”

Rambo said the wide variety of wake boats fit most any skill level.

The boats range in length from 20 to 26 feet, with engines from 373 to 522hp, Tyler said.

Personal watercraft

Personal watercraft are hot commodities right now, too.

In fact, their shortage during last summer fueled a surprise buying spree in December 2020 and January 2021 when the units were

available again, Dobbins said.

SeaDoo personal watercraft

Plus, more individuals are purchasing multiple units than in the past, Dobbins said. Recently, a customer from Florida bought four.

“They are going fast,” Dobbins said.

The NMMA’s report states that “sales of personal watercraft … are estimated to be up 8 percent to 11,000 units in 2020.”

Dobbins has seen more out-of-state buyers during this time. In one day, he assisted customers from Florida and Illinois, who came to get what they were having trouble finding in their own area.

Manufacturers, he continued, are producing personal watercraft at various prices to give financial choices. “That definitely helps.”

Lenders have also established special promotions for buyers  purchasing multiple units, he said.

Dobbins’ advice for those planning to enjoy the water this summer is to get the necessary equipment early.

Incidentally, the NMMA report states that buying personal watercraft may be the first step toward becoming a boat owner.

“Personal watercraft are often considered a gateway to boat ownership.”

Young boaters

In recent years, high schools and colleges have begun offering fishing as a sports option, said Grell.

This has gained traction of late, with many more high schools creating teams, she said.

As a result, the demand for new and used fishing boats has risen, as parents seek to purchase a vessel for their student.

Grell said one of her customers began fishing in high school two years ago and now is on Auburn University’s fishing team.

Father-and-son duos are buying boats as well, she said.

LakeLife 24/7

A lifelong state of mind

Carol Pappas, editor and publisher

I remember the first time I held a fishing pole in my hands. My daddy had loaded us up in our old 1957 Chevrolet, and we headed to nearby Lake Purdy on the outskirts of Birmingham. We all sat along the bank, Daddy baited our hooks with wiggly little worms and patiently taught us how to cast.

I remember how it felt to grip a cane pole tightly in my tiny little fingers and gently toss the line – hook, worm and bobber a few feet from my bankside perch. I must have been four or five at the time.

I remember my dad helping this squealing little girl land a bream. I, of course, thought it was a whopper. In reality it probably wasn’t much bigger than the tiny little hand that still held a vise-like grip on that cane pole, fish dangling from the end of the line.

It was on that bank – more years ago than I care to admit – that I first fell in love with lakelife. It’s a passion I thankfully never outgrew.

I suppose I came by it naturally. My father was born in a town in northern Greece with a lake as its centerpiece, its heart – Kastoria. I saw photos of it over the years, heard his stories of growing up there and dreamed of one day seeing it for myself. I did, and it was even more breathtaking in person than the well-worn photos I saw as a child.

Through high school and college, I joined friends who were lucky enough to have “weekenders” on Logan Martin Lake, and I dreamed of having a place of my own on a lake one day.

My first journalism job out of college brought me a step closer to that dream. It was in Pell City … returning me to Logan Martin Lake, where I

spent a handful of spring weekends and summer days as a teenager boating or working on a tan on someone’s pier.

A couple of jobs later and still in the same area, I moved up through the ranks at my newspaper and was finally able to afford my dream – my own full-time lakelife.

Today, marks the realization of another dream, creating a lakelife experience in the form of a magazine to be shared with others. It’s called LakeLife 24/7® for a reason. It’s really a state of mind, a lifestyle, an experience you never want to let go of – much like that white-knuckled grip on that cane pole decades ago.

My father’s view in Kastoria, Greece

Once you experience lakelife, you know what I mean. You don’t want to let go. You don’t want to leave. You ask yourself, what’s better than lakelife? And the answer comes without hesitation: LakeLife 24/7, of course!

That’s our aim with this new magazine and its multimedia components – to create a comprehensive lakelife experience you’ll want to savor and share. In the pages that follow, online at lakelife247magazine.com, in electronic newsletters, in video and on social media, we hope to create a community of Logan Martin and Neely Henry ‘lakelifers’ on this stretch of the Coosa River.

It may be two different lakes, but we are inextricably tied together by a common bond,
a shared love affair with the water.

Welcome to LakeLife 24/7®! It’s how you want to live – a day, a weekend, all the time. Jump in.
The water’s perfect!

Gadsden Reels In The Bassmaster Elite Series

The Bassmaster Elite Series continues its season in Sweet Home Alabama when Gadsden hosts the Whataburger Bassmaster Elite at Neely Henry Lake May 6-9, 2021. Daily launches and weigh-ins will take place at the Gadsden City Boat Docks, also known as Coosa Landing. The tournament is hosted by The City of Gadsden and Greater Gadsden Area Tourism.

The tournament pits 99 of the top bass anglers in the world against big bass and one another as they battle for the coveted championship trophy, $100,000 first-place prize, and a total purse of more than $760,000.

The Yellowhammer State will be well-represented by the 12 Elite Series pros who call Alabama home, including 2019 Bassmaster Angler of the Year Scott Canterbury of Odenville. Other Alabama anglers competing include Justin Atkins, Clent Davis, Justin Hamner, Matt Herren, Kelley Jaye, Steve Kennedy, Wes Logan, Josh Stracner, Gerald Swindle, Bill Weidler and Kyle Welcher.

Launch each morning will be at safe daylight, about 545 a.m. with weigh-in each day at 2 p.m. Both are free and the public is encouraged to attend. Coosa Landing will be closed for the event and parking will be available at The Venue at Coosa Landing.

Beyond the tournament action taking place on this Coosa River fishery, sports fans can experience the thrill of skimming across the river during a demo boat rides from Nitro, Ranger and Mercury, enjoy two days of family-friendly activities and sample local food while strolling along the Riverwalk and Coosa Landing at the free Bassmaster Outdoors Expo on Saturday and Sunday from noon until 4 pm.

While the pro anglers will compete to bring in the heaviest weights during the four-day fishing tournament, it is truly Gadsden that has landed “a big one.” When the Basspro.com Bassmaster Opens visited Neely Henry last October, officials estimated that — even with pandemic-associated restrictions on crowd sizes and gatherings — the event generated an economic impact of $1 million for the greater Gadsden area.

Live coverage for all four days of the Bassmaster Elite at Neely Henry Lake can be streamed on Bassmaster.com and the FOX Sports digital platforms. FS1 will also broadcast live with the tournament leaders beginning at 7 a.m. CT on Saturday and Sunday.

Wake Surfing Logan Martin

Rock & Rolling, high flying, surfer judge hits the waves

Story by Carol Pappas
Photos by Graham Hadley

Most weekdays, you’ll find him donning a black robe, gavel in hand, poised to rule in a court case. In those somber surroundings, it’s difficult to imagine what the judge might do for a little R&R.

But after the day’s work is complete, it’s as if Superman has just stepped into that iconic phone booth. He transforms into one rockin’ and rollin,’ high flyin,’ lake surfin,’ incredibly cool dude.

Pick your passion. St. Clair County District Judge Alan Furr does, although you’re never quite sure which one it will be.

Electric guitar in hand, that’s him on a Saturday night, a natural at leading the band, The Wingnuts. The band got its start in an airplane hangar in 2010, its members mostly pilots, including Furr. Since then, they’ve built quite a following, playing oldies and Rock & Roll for audiences across the region.

That might be enough to keep most busy, but not Furr. He’s made the cockpit selfie with wife Sandra locally famous on Facebook. It’s not uncommon to see the Furr’s take to the skies for short hops and long treks.

His newest past-time adventure puts him and Sandra out on their beloved Logan Martin Lake, a stone’s throw from their home on Cropwell Creek. They’re not quite hanging 10, they admit, but to them, it’s close. At 60-something, they’re nothing short of inspiring with their wake surfing prowess.

“Sandra and I bought our first board and started learning to wake surf around 2010, but we didn’t have a good surf boat, so the learning was difficult,” Furr said. “Consequently, we both primarily stayed with slalom skiing, and I also rode a wakeboard. Now that we are in our mid-60s, we figured we needed to concentrate on a ‘milder’ form of water sport.”

In 2015, they bought a MasterCraft NXT20, which is designed for wake surfing.  “So, for the past couple of years we’ve been surfing on Logan Martin,” he said. It requires a boat that is set up with a “surf system” and ballast, a wake-surf board, and “the willingness to give it a try.”

How it works

So what does it take to wake surf? When a boat moves through the water, it creates a wake. When the hull of the boat displaces the water, it goes back to where it previously was.

That constant flow of water creates a constant wave, and the surfer trails behind the boat on its wake without actually being pulled by the boat.

You get up on the wake with a special board and tow rope, similar to skiing, but that’s where the similarity stops. When the rope gives some slack, it’s time to drop the rope and go wake surfin’ with the Furrs.

Let’s go surFin’ now…

Sandra goes first. With the board parallel, and her heels atop the side, she waits for the start. He throttles the boat, and up she pops, giving a twist and allowing the board to get perpendicular with the back of the boat.

Once the driver tightens the rope and gives it a little bit of throttle, the water behind the board pushes the board up, and you just stand up.

Only a few feet behind the boat, she concentrates on the wake, her balance and finding the “sweet spot.”

“You’re trying to get a speed on the board that matches the speed of the boat,” Furr explains. “You find that sweet spot that matches the speed with the boat.”

“And when you can feel it,” Sandra adds, “you can actually feel the wave pushing you. It’s the coolest feeling, and when you feel it, you know it.”

She hits the sweet spot, and she drops the rope. Then, it’s like watching the old Beach Boys tune, Surfin’ Safari, in motion.

Everybody’s learning how…

Before getting a special boat, “we fooled around for a year or two,” learning what to do, Furr said. “We could get up and hold the rope, but we couldn’t get slack. This boat is what really made the difference, and also that board.”

They transitioned to the new boat, and that’s when it all started coming together for them. “I always thought I’d like to surf, but this is as close as I’ll ever get to it,” he said.

He went a step further, pointing out the benefits of his brand of surfing. “First, there are no sharks.” In ocean surfing, you must swim out on your board. “With this one, you just start the motor.”

The Furrs haven’t tried those fancy moves yet, like the Fire Hydrant and 360s, but there are plenty on Logan Martin who do, he said.

To which, Sandra quickly retorted, “Yeah, but they’re not 63 and 64.”  For the time being the Furr’s will stick to “carving” the wake, although conquering the 360 is on their bucket list.

“A lot of people are getting into it. We just chose it because we’re getting older and wanted something to do – a little more low impact,” Furr said.

“There are several wake surfers here in Cropwell Creek,” he added, “and I’m sure there are many all over the lake. We are by no means the best…but we’re probably the oldest.”
