Had an awesome time coming from Orlando to Fort Worth,
Texas, travelling with the girlfriend and my Aussie friend sports photographer Twiggy.

| About to shred on the Nautique 230 |
About
2 hours out from Texas, on the morning of the contest, Twiggy (photgrapher) was
driving and ran out of gas while Jillian and I were sleeping in the back seat,
and it caused me to miss my ride in Junior Mens, which is unfortunate because
I started the season strong with a 2nd place spot in the first stop at Acworth Georgia. In hindsight, it was one
of the best mistakes that has happened to me because now I then had the opportunity to ride Pro Mens at the stop as a once off and go back to Junior Pro's if I wanted to.
I made the decision that day to step up to
Pro Mens and I'm stoked on it. My rookie event on the Pro Tour, I had a pretty
tough heat, but still stood up a solid ride and was really stoked on it. I'm so pumped for the rest of the summer now,
it will be interesting to see what will unvale. I was stoked to get the chance
to ride Corey Bradleys big ass wake that his Nautique 230 pushes out, one of
the best wakes I've ridden in a while.

| Dyla Prideaux riding CTRL at Hydrous |
Boat wasn't the only thing i got to
enjoy in my stay in Texas, I was also lucky enough to be able to ride at
Hydrous Cable Park, free of charge thanks to the good people at CTRL Wake.
Coincidently my homie Justin Teich, a friend I lived with last summer in
Orlando, was there to join me for the week. I had a great time, got alot of
stuff on film and got some dirty photos, check them out!
