Checking In

We have enjoyed a lot of time behind the boat this summer and now travel is picking up. Yesterday we drove to Kansas City and hit the cable at KC Watersports. We grabbed as many pulls as we possibly could and had a ton of fun. The sliders, kickers, and rails are a blast. The crew there is super friendly and helpful so make it a priority to check it out. You can find our pics here.

Thursday we head to Oklahoma City for the WWA Nationals and on Saturday morning it is off to Kansas again for the INT comps on Saturday and Sunday.

If you have not yet picked up your copy of Global Warning, do. It is super funny and has some of the best wakeboarding and video production you may ever see. Insane stuff that will make you want to ride.

Been diggin the toe side front lately.

National Championships (Bakersfield CA) -- 3rd

An ultra fun year of wakeboarding comps came to an end for the 08 season with the INT National Championships in Bakersfield California October 1-4. I was happy to take 3rd in my division and therefore enjoy being ranked 3rd in the nation for my division (READ—“I am thankful to have podiumed, but am kicking myself that I didn’t pull off the win”).

Day one was all out for me and things felt big and stylish, but I fell on the last trick of my first and second pass. Day two was about getting all of my tricks and two stand-up passes, but amplitude and aggressiveness were lacking. No excuses though. Congrats to 1st and 2nd.

California was tons of fun. Earlier in the week I rode at Carlsbad Lagoon (the famed birthplace of wakeboarding!) and enjoyed a few other fine points of living like the surf at Huntington Beach, In and Out Burger, and cruising in the convertible. Thanks everyone for a great season! We plan to ride into November and will see you on the dock again in late March!

Enjoyed some press recently. Something in the Fremont Tribune, Omaha World Herald, and Elkhorn Sports. Click on the text picture to read the article.
