So other than leaving it on the trailer and in the parking lot, and parking it in the channel all day...where are the best places (most calm water) to run a jet? Or is it all pretty much the same?

ive always heard to go south by the dam. less people. plus all the people that wanna be seen go north. (copper canyon, sandbar) guaranteed to be more people up that way. i would stick to going south.

Yeah, I've been on havasu but never with my boat. Never been on the south part of the lake. Any idea of good spots to launch down there?

theres a free launch ramp next to havasu springs right by the dam.  go south from havasu until you cross the bridge and then come across a gas station, hang a right, then another right.  it'll look like you're going straight into the dam, but there will be a little road on the right that goes to the launch ramp.  over by havasu springs. 

its VERY calm in the mornings, but if the wind picks up it gets just as choppy as the rest of the lake.  if theres wind hug the california side next to the mountains or go back and forth across the buoy line near the refuge.

Thanks for the tips. Hopefully it's smooth sailing that day in more ways than one!
