SABI ISLAND 2008
45th year of River Beaver Fun!
June 7,8,9, 2008
Rain or Shine/Water or Sand!

Be there or consider yourself a Jackass!  Whatever you do, Theme this year is Get Your Fuckin Pants Off!  Sabi Island Goes on Rain or Shine; Water or Sand - another chapter to be written into the Sabi scrolls!  
After all Jet skis were made to be all terrain vehicles!

Call to the rain gods for high water!  Check out the satellite photos of the Island and several miles in each direction.  The Island is the darker on in the middle of the page approximately 4.5 miles from the Hwy 14 launch and 3.4 miles from the Arena Launch.  Remember the days of high water!  I believe these photos were taken approximately 4-5 years ago when you could almost ride the back waters to and from the Arena launch.  With the earlier dates we should have some of the best water in years.  Pack a sweatshirt and your best James Bond wet suit.    
STAY TUNED FOR MORE PROPAGANDA TO GET YOU READY FOR THIS YEARS PARTY!  STILL WITHOUT EVEN TRYING; THE LARGEST JET SKI GATHERING/PARTY IN THE MID-WEST - UNCONTESTED!

Remember Team Sabotage is dedicated to a clean environment!  On an annual basis we remove a minimum of 15-20 large garbage bags full of rubbish from the Wisconsin river way.  As long as nobody asks who put the garbage there to begin with that sounds really good doesn't it?

WATER LEVEL UPDATES!!!
Thanks to VooDO Joe for the Lowdown!

Can you believe it is memorial day already?  That means one thing.  The weather should be getting warmer damn it.  Your battery should already be charged and your ski should have already hit the water.  The Fox is overflowing and the Wisconsin river is getting ready for Sabi Island June ???,  www.team-sabotage.com/sabiisland/sabiisland.htm .

If your ski is still in storage then get your sad ass off your couch and get moving Sabi Island is only 11 days away.  We've seen lots of action on the sabi chat already in preparation for the big gig.  With all the rain we're expecting to explore some backyards and streams that are typically non-pwc friendly.  Watch out for the flying RAPALA.  During high water conditions they are known to fly right at your head.  This years Island Theme has been voted on and the results are: super heros and evil villans.  Guys should not even think about tights.  Sabi Queens should think in lines of naughty villians.  I have two blow up......................chairs for the winners.  What?....what did you think I was going to say when I said blow-up?  

Thanks to the donations that have already rolled in, the fireworks show is working its way up to being the best yet.  Donations will still be matched $1:$1 up until until Noon on June 1.  Making a donation is simple.  Just visit the Sabi Chat page and click the "Donate" button or simply click here:  http://www.team-sabotage.com/sabichat/default.asp  then click donate.

Where the hell has the Sabi King been all year?  Unless he shows up at the Island in some unprecidented manner, it apears that this may be the most underrepresented year for Sabi.  Rumor has it the King and Sabi 'd Clown have been on a rendezvous over the last year and they have build some kind of strange love relationship that we can't even write about without attaching a x rating to this letter.  Let's just say his lips aren't red as part of his costume (Sabi 'd Clown's are however).  Sabi King and Queen will come down to a vote again this year Survivor Style.  We may make it a Sabi All-stars event if there are no new contenders.  It's all about Style points.  Biggest camp (420 or Joe & Sue?), smallest camp, has anybody ever lived on nothing at Sabi Island?  What kind of silly question is that?  Of course.  Herkert came back last year!

Start thinking about two long distance trips.  First one to the North to the Damn.  Should be great seeing that water blasting over it with all the rain we've had.  The second you'll need to 6-pack a lunch because we'll be gone for a while.  Bring a credit card and a small gas can (strap it on if you stand, pack it if you sit).

Somebody needs to bring horse shoes!  Gerloff re-introduced us to that game last year and it would make a great island game.  Add it to Sabi Chat if you can bring a set of horse shoes with stakes.  I will be bringing a 3 foot soccer ball for an official round of Sabi Soccer.  The current should be plenty strong for a good game.    The long awaited Super Sabi Scavenger Saturday will happen this year as long as water levels are higher than sand like last year.   Several 3 foot soccer balls have been purchased this year for Sabi Soccer.  Sabi Island Page

Well strap on your feed bag and start packing your bags...Sabi Island is almost here....5 MINUTES!!!!!!     SEE YOU THERE!!! SPREAD THE WORD!  IF YOU KNOW OF A DEALER THAT WOULD BRING SOME DEMO JETSKIS BRING THEM ALONG TOO.  LEAVE THE ORANGE TENT AT HOME!

Sincerely,

The Sabi Island Planning Committee
