2016 Season – Here We Go!

Friday, April 1st, 2016

The weather finally is turning up here in Texas and I’ve been on the lake a few days during this last month to practice.  The official wake surf competitive season kicks off for me in just two weeks in Florida.  I’ll be headed to the Orlando area to compete in my first event for 2016.  However, tomorrow I’ll be up in the Boston area to compete in a unique event.  It’s an indoor wake surf competition at a very cool place called Surf’ sUp New Hampshire.  I’ve had the pleasure of surfing their indoor wave a few times and it’s really sick.  It’s a 32 foot wide indoor wave that is configurable in many different waves.  A smaller river wave and a 6′ barrel are two examples!  It’s awesome!  This weekend they are having a competition and a handful of pros will be there to compete for the $5000 in total prize money.  Laurie, the owner, and her team are super cool folks.  Should be epic!

I’ll be back in Dallas on Sunday night and plan to get on the lake a few days before heading out to Florida.  I’m super excited about this season.  We’ll be all over the place, just like last year.  As always, if you’re going to be in Dallas or have some time while I’m out traveling it would be great to surf with some new folks!

2016 – Here we go!
