Amber’s Visit to China

Billy Park — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 21:17:48 +0000

Amber contacted us recently about her current trip to China. Here’s what she had to say about it:

Hey Everyone!!!

I arrived in China on Wednesday night. I flew from Orlando – New York – Beijing – Hangzhou then caught a bus for an hour to my hotel. My bags never made it out of New York (thank you Air China).

I had practice on Thursday and semi finals on Friday wearing Harley Clifford’s clothes as he rides for Oakley and riding his spare board 134 Watson with a pair of bindings and vest I borrowed from another girl rider, and Jeff Weatherall’s rope and handle. I made it through to finals.

Finally at 430am on Saturday morning my bags arrived at the hotel, just in time for finals!!!!

I rode well and won the competition. I am heading to Shanghai for 3 days where we are touring the city, going to a Water park and visiting Oakley China. Sunday – Wednesday.

On Wednesday I fly to Liuzhou for the World Cup stop.

China is a very interesting country with Culture. I am really enjoying my trip and documenting on video, which wakegirls.com will be editing and posting my traveling experience.

I will keep you updated.

Thanks for the support.

Amber

So congratulations to Amber on making it to the finals on borrowed equipment and then taking the title! She sent some pics as well.
