Wake Boarding, it never gets old.

I can't get enough wakeboarding shots these days and I have been super lucky and stoked to be shooting as rad of a dude as Brenden Leib.  Recently taking second at the Fall Classic at Coppert Lake, Brenden called me up to take advantage of the killer sun we've been getting.  I'm excited to get out more and more every time we shoot, getting so many different light situations. And with some new gear on the way, I'm going to be able to mix it up alot more and get some better and different angles, but I've already said too much! You will just have to come back and look later to see what I mean.

Now go outside before the sun is gone until May. seriously.

Wakeboarding despite the weather..

Headed out to sunny, tropical warm Lake Whatcom yesterday to get some photos with Wakeboard ripper Brenden Leib and some friends killing it in the 59 degree murky water and what felt about 40 degree air temp after a nice crisp windchill...Bu that didn't stop these pond pillagers though, sending it all afternoon until it got dark.

Northwest Riders Wake Series, Part Deux

For the second year in a row the guys at Northwest Riders put down the Northwest Riders Wake Series, in which tons of local wakeboarders and wake-skaters, young and old, am and pro, threw down on some of the biggest sickest double-ups known to Washington, and mankind.  On beautiful (man-made) Lake Tye in magical Monroe, Washington, a perfect day with a PNW sunset finished off the Pro double up contest for friday night, and a mellow Saturday afternoon of several heats of riders followed for the competition.  

Kicking it (literally) in my fins and classy bright yellow mike's hard lemonade float chair, I was stoked to keep my gear dry, and land some shots I was pretty happy with.  

Don't let anyone tell you Wakeboarding is for wimps.  The vid below ought to show you.  These guys go big, and water doesn't feel good when you hit it going 40 or 50.

Whatcom Wakeboarding Round 2

Brenden Leib and the guys from Bow Lake Watersports continue to kill it, and somehow I continue to find myself in the boat.  It's a good thing I could I could watch these guys throw it down all day, especially when its warm and sunny.
