In March Kyle Schmidt and Chad Lowe went down to Lake Santa Maria Mexico for a 5 day clinic for Wakeclinics.com. Thanks to German for bringing down some of The Wakeboard Camp coaches to Mexico to help promote wakeboarding south of the border.

Obscura Demo Day January 17
It’s a new year and we’re starting things off right with a winter wakeskate demo day. Obscura wakeskates will be hosting a big old day of riding and eating free stuff right here at The Wakeboard Camp this coming Sunday, January 17, 2010.
The event will run from 10am to 4pm. Come ride all the 2010 Obscura gear with the guys whose names are on the boards! Aaron Reed, Danny Hampson, James Balzer, Travis Doran, and Kyle Hyams will be here to show you the way. We don’t want you going hungry while you’re here, so Monster energy drinks and Chipotlé burritos will be handed out free of charge to all who are here. That’s right, free food, drinks, and all the pro wakeskaters you can handle!
Check it out on Obscura’s site here. Plan your weekend around coming out to Clermont! See ya here!
Video of Girls Week
Hey ladies! That’s right, more ladies wakeboarding! This time WakeGirls.com brings us a video they worked on to show the world what it’s like at the Wakeboard Camp when the ladies take over. Thanks to the WakeGirls crew for all the time they put into this video and a special thanks to the girls who came to ride on that week! We did have a limited number of spots, so if you didn’t make it in 2009, be on the lookout for our next all ladies week.
Amber’s Visit to China
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.
Amber’s Trick of the Year
In case you missed it, at the Wake Awards, Amber Wing took home the 2009 Women’s Trick of the Year with her heelside 720. This was the first time any female rider has landed the move, and it was done right out in front of The Wakeboard Camp! Congratulations again Amber!
