Man, a lot has happened since the last time I blogged!  Since the last time I wrote in Wakestock has happened, Surf Expo happened, and the WWA Worlds went on in Orlando. I sort of got overwhelmed near the end of the summer and it all felt like it blurred into one big busy week!

Wakestock was fun this year.  I’m from just outside Toronto so going to Wakestock means I get to see my family during the weekend, and Katie came up with me to hang out.  This year was the new site; it was cool to be in Blue Mountain village at night, the site though was pretty rough water.  Hopefully next year the wind gods takes a break for us, the water conditions ended my weekend pretty fast this year at Wakestock, sucks, oh well.

Next was Expo.  Expo is fun because you get to show the industry your new product, see what everyone else has come up with, go to the Wake Awards, and this year the Parks Doc came out. That movie was insane. It’s so cool everyone should see it. They did such a good job of it; you don’t even have to be a huge fan of wakeboarding to really enjoy the film.

Right after expo was WWA Worlds in Orlando. This weekend was fun. Being in Orlando always feel like a little less pressure. Maybe it is because you’re not hoping to win some money to pay back your plane ticket.  The sun was blaring, the water was calm and they had the wake really dialed.  Everyone rode really well that weekend. I made it through 2 rounds and ended up out in the semis.

Lately I’ve been finally spending some time at home.  Expo has passed so I now have my 2010 product from Gator.  I’ve been testing out my new stuff making sure it’s all dialed in before they go into full-blown production. I’ve been shooting a little bit, but mainly trying to learn some new ticks.  Everyone is getting so good these days and I feel like I need a few new spins in my arsenal.  So I’ve been riding a lot trying to figure some new things out.  I’m actually in the ATL airport right now flying home from a clinic I did this weekend for a student who is a regular at The Boarding School. Tomorrow morning I’m getting back on a plane and heading to China for the IWWF World Cup. I’m flying with Trevor and Rusty so I wont be alone on those long flights. Hopefully I can sleep on the plane or something.

I’ll check back in After China, I wont let near as much time pass in between these from now on, promise!
