BACK ON THE WATER

So almost a year ago as many of you know I broke my leg pretty bad. After many operations (some failed) I finally was able to hit the rehab hard at the beginning of this year, with the goal in mind that I would ride by Spring Ride in May, Well I am happy to say that last night, in the company of some of my best freinds and my biggest supporters, I TOOK MY FRIST REAL SET!!!!! I did ride last summer but I was in pain and it wasn't really my style. Last night I rode and felt I like I was back on track. Did a few easy rolls, and grabs I am holding back on going deap into the flats for another month or so.

I couldn't wipe the grin off my face, (still can't) just wanted to share with the WW family. That I AM ON THE WATER AGAIN.

Joel thanks for the pull last night buddy!!!

Super cool to see you back on the water bro. Over a year off and still stickin' the rolls and R2R on the first try's. You'll be wreckin' shop in no time. I can't wait to see some huge S-bends this summer.

Joel....Thanks for the pull. The water was money last night. Can't wait for summer.

Congrats on the re-hab thing, thats a tough ordeal to go through, and definitely trying on the wakeboard stoke.

Again, Congrats.

Al, Glad to see your back in action. Tony and I were kind of worried because we decided after seeing the pics from the weekend that you were not going to make it as a Wakeboard Photographer.
