The Wakeboard Camp would like to congratulate everybody who rode at the 2010 Wake Games! The Wakeboard Camp’s own had a strong showing. Hayley Smith came in 5th, Amber Wing got 3rd, Ben Greenwood made it past 2 rounds of action and into the semifinals, and Kurt Robertson pulled a Phil Mickelson and became the new Masters Champion!

All of us at TWC really enjoyed bumping into many of our friends at the games. It’s always fun to see our water slashing friends come back to support the sport we all love. Thanks for making it a fun weekend everybody!

TWC Girls

The ladies of The Wakeboard Camp have been hard at work during the US off season. Things down under have been nice and hot, and Amber Wing, Hayley Smith, and Bec Gange have all been riding well.

Amber took top honors at the Australian Pro Am with Hayley finishing second and Bec rounding off the podium in third. The girls are doing a lot of free riding this year so look for them to be bringing some new wake maneuvers back to the US for the 2010 summer season!

Here are a few photos of Amber and the girls.

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.

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

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

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.

It’s time for another video with The Wakeboard Camp’s own Amber Wing! This time Oakley brings us footy from Amber’s trip to the largest river in the world, the Amazon. She managed to stay in the air long enough to avoid getting eaten alive by piranhas and all the other critters swimming around in the water. Enjoy!
