Wakeboard Victoria Coaching Camp

This weekend we got all the groms for the official AWWF coaching camp in Echuca on the beautiful Murray River which i grew up on.  We stayed at Paul Bell's pad at Merool which was a great base for the weekend.

I was the official coach for the weekend and was so pumped to see so many kids going so hard at the sport!  I had recently completed the online coaching component of the AWWF Level 1 Coaching Course and was keen to commence.

There were so many shredders and everyone progressed insanely! Everyone went home with new tricks and something to work on which is great to see, the only thing I enjoy almost as much as learning these tricks myself, is getting pumped watching other people learn them, and getting pumped on wakeboarding.

Wakeboard Victoria Round 3

I was sorry to miss Round 2 of the Vic Series at Melton due to sponsor comittments that week interstate.

For me it was the second event for the year.  I had a great time back up at Twin Lakes and the conditions were perfect! I had two solid rides in the heats and finals and scored myself a first place.  It was great to see the progression of everyone from Round 1, all the grooms are absolutely killing it.  I can see good things with Wakeboard Victoria happening around Nationals time.  It's crazy what a little coaching and a few pointers can do for people.

The comp was behind the Mills Family Super Air Nautique 230.  I love Wakeboard Victoria because everyone is so nice and welcoming and there's no politics at all which there should never be anyway, especially at a grass roots contest!  It's so great, and I can't wait to see what the rest of the season has to unfold.
