Worlds Results

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009

Congratulations to all friends and staff of The Wakeboard Camp at both Worlds competitions this past weekend! The WWA Worlds went down in Orlando at OWC and IWSF had theirs on the very same weekend on the other side of the world in Chuncheon, Korea. Here are some results for ya:

WWA Worlds in Orlando

  • Michaela de Waern – 2nd Pro Women Wakeskate
  • Amber Wing – 3rd Pro Women
  • Kurt Robertson – 6th Masters
  • Matt Doke – 4th Jr. Boys
  • Bryan Kryzda – 5th Jr. Men
  • Paulie Koch – 4th Boys

Those are just a handful of competitors who have helped make The Wakeboard Camp a fun place to be. Other riders that made good showings were Hayley Smith, Marcos Torres, Darren Bishop, and Kaesen Suyderhoud. There are many more as well, so great job to everybody! It was sweltering hot in Orlando, and everybody put up some real impressive stuff.

Now, here are some results from the other side of the world:

IWSF Worlds in Korea

  • Raequel Hoffman – 1st Pro Women
  • Shawna Hoffman – 5th Pro Women
  • Bec Gange – 6th Pro Women

Great job to the Hoffman sisters and Bec for making the finals in her first pro event. Chris Dunn also made it past the first round with his buttery smooth style. Word is that the wind was pretty fierce over there, so great job toughing it out everybody.

2009 Girls Week

2009 Girls Week Jumping

Girls week 2009 was a great success! We had a boat full of female wakeboarders shredding up Lake Minneola all week. Emily, Katie, Joy, Joe, Allegra, and The Wakeboard Camp’s own Cassie Sichel filled up the roster while Amber Wing, Hayley Smith, and Bec Gange provided instruction.

I was but a humble male looking on from another boat, but every time the feminine boat rode by, we could feel the girl power beaming from the Malibu. At one point throughout the week, the girls boat even had a dance-off on the water with four of Egypt’s up and coming movers and shakers.

All in all, the ladies arrived, rode, and brightened up the week for all of us guys here at TWC. Thanks for joining us for this first time, but sure to be repeated, Girls Week!

Liquid Force Bro Down a Success

Friday, June 5th, 2009

2009-brodown-19.jpg Well it’s been a few weeks since the Liquid Force team came to The Wakeboard Camp for the BBQ Bro Down. The day went great success! Plenty of rail riding went down, many burgers and hot dogs were consumed, and most importantly, a whole bunch of fun was had by all.

Some riders who attended the event were Danny Harf, Phil and Bob Soven, Shane Bonifay, Kevin Henshaw, Collin Harrington, Harley Clifford, Ben Greenwood, Adam Fields, Dustin O’Ferrall, Bob Sichel, Kaesen Suyderhoud, Daniel Powers, Amber Wing, Haley Smith, Cathy Williams and pretty much the rest of the Liquid Force team.

The Wakeboard Camp would like to give a big thank you to Liquid Force, Monster, Sports On Tap, and especially all those who showed up for helping throw down such a great event!
