World Championships in Norway

I have been really enjoying the past couple of months with all my homies from Mackay riding really hard preparing for the World Titles in Norway. 

We are so spoilt with the GoWake Cable Park in Mackay.  The cable is so good as are the obstacles.  It makes you really appreciate when you travel and come back home to your local.

 

Shredding my Jobe at Thai Wake Park

I just spent a week at Thai Wake Park on my way to Norway.   I have had the time of my life in Thailand hanging out with all the locals and shredding with my homie Samon Victor who is killing it! TWP is awesome and I can't wait to get back there again.

After TWP I travelled to Amsterdam (the home of Jobe) and then to Oslo Norway on my way to the IWWF World Titles.  I am staying with the Australian Team getting ready to compete this week.  

It's really awesome to hang out with a few mates that I haven't seen in forever!

Wakeboard World Series in Mackay

Mackay I flew into Mackay for the 5th stop of the Wake Park World Series, which was the first time Australia has ever had a World Series Cable event. With big names like Tom Fooshee, Daniel Grant, San Im, Aaron Gunn and Matty Hasler, who is current world champion, the pressure was on. With everyone only getting one day to ride the brand new GoWake Cable Park, it was quite a fair playing field. 

With all the world’s best cable riders competing, it was great to watch the standard of competitive cable and to see what level all of these boys are at really helped me put things in perspective. I had solid rides in both Pro Men’s cable and Rail Jam divisions, having just been pipped by Matty Hasler and Aaron Gunn to make the finals, I wasn't disappointed, just became more focussed. 

There was live music and multiple stages where the entertainment never stopped, unfortunately mother nature didn't come to the party and the big event on Saturday night was rained out. All in all, was one of the best contests and best setups I have ever participated in, let alone in Australia. Kirk and Des from GoWake have really raised the bar on this one, and I'm more than excited to see what's in store for this contest next year.
