Been working on my photo shop skills. Just made a lil viral poster of some funny pictures from the contest

This year Made it out to the floatilla!! 8hrs of party and bronzing and i wish it would never have ended. The floatilla was massive at least 100 boats probably more. Some guy even had a G23 out there tied up.
I made up 3 safety tips for floatilla’s.
1. When the contest rollers are coming in. Stop make a friend/ bum a cig. Falling from boat to boat can be especially hurtful on the feet and ankles which are pretty key for wakeboarding the next day.
2. Water proof floating box to keep everything in!!! Cause when boats leave they leave holes in the floatilla and you can find your self going for quite a swim with your phone,cigs,wallet,etc. in one hand held above the water.
3. Water balloons are only fun before people get drunk. When a drunk person is hit with a water balloon they act as if it is filled with piss rather than water. so weird
Also after any trick was landed everyone would Native American call like at the ATL Braves games. Pretty unique I joined in.

So excited it’s that travel time of the year!! Aj Racinelli flew in from texas last week to ride shotgun. First stop Gravity Research Center.

Gravity Research is owned by the most hospitable Wes Bearden. I have been going to Gravity for a couple years now. Such chill vibes and progressive ideas are being thrown around there all the time. The setup right now is a lot like a skate park a ton of smaller but super diverse hits. You can land several new tricks in a simple down and back.

After Riding we went to the warehouse to pump some transition and setup our hammocks for the night. I haven’t spent much time in a hammock but defiantly considering spending more.

The Next day just back to pressing buttons and swatting knats! Riding all day with a good crew!! So much fun guys!! Wes, Chris, Barrett, Cross, Cody, Blake, Kyle, Etc.

Lunch at the Hot Diggity Dog. And we are off to My Uncles House in Ackworth for the First PWT stop!!!

The second qualifier for O’Neill Wake The Line 2012. Daniel Grant, Brian Reeder, Bob Sichel and Cody Johnson are headed to the main event on June 2nd in Cologne/Germany.

Progress…
To learn you have to grow. To grow you have to learn. To do both you have to keep an open mind and an open ear. Another year older thanks to the support of great friends, family members, riders, customers, retailers and distributors. Sometimes it takes two steps back to move one step forward. We listened to your feedback and implemented as much of it as we could it into our growing line of products. We had one goal in mind, to help you enjoy more what you love to do most – ride. We hope you love the 2012 product line and website as much as we loved creating it.

This is the final installment of our first permacation series. When we all talked about how we would release each location edit, we all knew and agreed that the Henshaw Hotel would be last because it best represents our main focus and goal, which is to bring fun back into riding. Anyone who has stayed at Kevin’s before has witnessed what happens when riders from all over the world come to stay. It’s always fun and it’s always interesting. Huge thanks for the support given by Slingshot, Active Water Sports, and Kevin Henshaw for hosting the project. Big thanks to all the riders Zach Schneider, Kevin Henshaw, Keith Lidberg, Mikey Ennen, Raph Derome, Clayton Underwood, JD Webb, Bob Sichel.
THIS IS ONLY THE BEGINNING OF PERMACATION.

Warm up trick: Inside out HS FS 360 landing heelside blind off of the startup roller.
Favorite trick: The one that I’ve most recently learned. I love that feeling. Old tricks tend to get
stale after a while.
App you can’t live without: Probably the Alarm Clock app, cuz otherwise I would not wake up till
noon every day… or Spotify… Yeah, Spotify.
Favorite website: LearnWake.com!
Cable, boat, or winch?: They’re all favorites, so either one is good, but if you have all of them, I’ll
get boat, because boat is a little more favorite. But if they don’t have boat it’s like alright its fine,
cause cable is favorite anyway. It’s like another favorite, but not as much. Not as much favorite.
But they’re both good.
Way to blow some cash: Sushi and the giant human slingshot thing in Orlando… but not in the
same night.
Home lake: Lake Minneola – Clermont, FL

work.

they had not exploded yet… bad idea.

When filming: I forget how to wakeboard… Don’t judge me
Don’t: Run with scissors. Unless you were cutting paper and then a serial killer started chasing
you with a knife, because you would probably need the scissors for when he corners you so that
you can break them apart and they would be like two knives and you could out knife him.
