Robert Sichel: Cover Shot

Wednesday, January 25th, 2012

Congratulations to The Wakeboard Camp’s own Robert Sichel for getting the prestigious cover shot on the 2012 Alliance Gear Guide!

Those of you who have come to the camp know Bob from being coached by him, seeing him spin and flip into the lofty atmosphere behind one of the camp Malibus, or even from dining and enjoying his delicious culinary creations. If you haven’t yet met the 2012 cover rider, you can easily fix that by visiting us at The Wakeboard Camp!

Learning How to Learn

Saturday, October 8th, 2011

LearningThis summer we had some great people, Tim and Kristin Mezel here for a week. In their line of work, they do a lot of analyzing and problem solving on many different levels of business and all aspects of life. They had a great week here, and after returning home, Kristin wrote up a great review of their week here.

Many people are too nervous to come here to the camp. Some people tend to think that everybody at the camp is at a pro level and that they will be laughed at for trying to do something new like ride outside of the wake. Kristin talks about how our system helps everybody learn at every level. Here is an excerpt:

I was nervous, like anyone can be, learning something new– especially along side the other campers who were there to learn tricks like the Backside 360, 540, Scarecrow, Tantrum… none of which I had a clue much less would I dream of learning. In spite of the butterflies in my stomach, I was determined to learn how to wakeboard more confidently.

We went out for our first ride, and our second, and third and in the blink of an eye the five days had passed and we had ridden a total of 15 sets (more than I’d typically ride in one summer)! Gone were the butterflies and my skills and confidence quadrupled.
It was on the trip home that I realized how much my experience mirrored elements of the ideal learning experience. Here are some thoughts on what made it ideal.

Thanks Kristin and Tim!

Bob Online

Monday, August 8th, 2011

Once again our own Bob Sichel has been showing up all over the internet. He scored the cover of issue 33 of Wake Journal, which is an online wakeboard publication.

But first we have a quick little video of Bob with all kinds of angles. He strapped a GoPro camera to himself and his handle and just about anything else they could think that could handle a mounted GoPro. Check out the video right here:

And now thumb through the issue of Wake Journal!
