Breddas

I've said it before and I'll say it again... our O'Brien riders from Sweden are incredible at wakeboarding. They just keep pushing themselves more and more and it's a lot of fun to watch. Check out their most recent video to see what I'm talking about.

Day 2 of clinics in Japan

Yuki and I wake up at 6am to hop in the car and head to our next clinic, which starts at 8am. It was about an hour drive out to the countryside. It was gorgeous out there. We drove past all of these little farms and saw more of the traditional side of Japan. We could also see the mountains in the background. What a setting for our day of riding.

Everything about the day was going great. Perfect weather and talented riders that were landing new tricks. Then at the end of the day I was blown away. We had two kids come out who were 9 and 11 y.o. and had only been riding for 11 months. These kids were charging it. The 9 y.o. was getting booted off the wake was was going just as high as everyone else. He then decided to start trying backrolls and ended up getting really close. The 11 y.o. was pulling of some big grabs and 180s and ended up trying some 360s. There is something in the water over here. Everyone kills it.

At the end of the day, everyone met at the local wakeboard shop and then we all went out for a big group dinner. We must have had 15-20 people and we fully took over an entire restaurant. They served us a ton of great food and it was a really nice relaxing end to a fun day on the water.
