The one thing that struck me about this years series starter was the improvement in skills over last year. It was great to see such an increase in participation from last year also. First and foremost I want to personally thank my judges. Dennis Horton of the Walker Project, Jerry Price of Shred Stixx, Mike Armstrong of Calibrated Wakesurfers and Marlin Clegg of Cybershapes. Thank you gentlemen for your time and commitment to the sport AND for your support of the INT League and the American Wakesurf Association. Jerry Price and his brand spanking new Stixxmobile. Sweet ride Jerry! <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/messages/559019/453779.jpg" alt="Upload">

Isn't that sweet? Jerry was saying this was the first event he's taken the truck too. He has a slightly massaged 350 in it.

Thanx Guys. We for sure, produced the best wake yesterday of all the contest we have had at Villa Lagos. It is a shallow man made pond which makes wake quality difficult. Thanx to Jeff Walker and his Tige' all went well. We had height and steepness but could not quite get enough length for us noseriders to test the new board well. Let us know how it goes Mon. on a deep lake Jeff. Took 2 hours to wash all the "Bug Juice" off my new panel after driving thru the rice pattys on HWY 5 last night!!!!!! I'm sure your boat looked the same. Stupid bugs!!

I've heard of hanging heels but it was over the nose. Jeff should have got "Most Creative"

A few pictures and thank you's I forgot. Billy Basset went home with the BFH <IMG SRC="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":-)" BORDER=0> Billy was taking the photos after the contest and we didn't get him receiving the XBC Fish.

05-27-2007 8:46 PM

You mean to tell me that you don't hang heel's over the rail?! <IMG SRC="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":-)" BORDER=0> All these years I've been doing it wrong. <IMG SRC="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":-)" BORDER=0> You're right Jerry about the venue, it's a tough one to get a "great" wake, but we had surfable wakes the entire event. I know we've come away from a few, in the past, feeling bad for some of the kids, but this event was adequate for all of the riders. I think we have learned that 8 foot deep lakes can be used for surf contests. I know it's fun for everyone, but we are also charting some fairly new territory - the 'out of the box' thinking we are using to throw a sucessful surf contest in shallow water is something I am proud of us in achieving. You, Dennis and Mike are truly pioneers in the sport. Just a little over a year ago most of the pundits were saying we couldn't even do it...that we couldn't even develop a surfable wake at that depth and THIS year, we are holding a longboard division in that shallow water. <IMG SRC="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":-)" BORDER=0> On to the forgotten thank you's. A big THANK YOU to Bunny Horton for all of her organizing skills with the riders coming off the boat. Also Annie Clegg for her assistance with getting the prize drawing in order! Welcome to the community. <IMG SRC="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/happy.gif" ALT=":-)" BORDER=0> Also to Haley and Holly for their help with drawing the names!

Bre Horton was our offical photographer and, as usual, did a marvelous job of picture taking. She was also kind enough to resize all of the pictures for me.
