Here is the 2009 CWB Pure and CWB Torq bindings. Which come in a package on the cheap. I prefer to ride the Zeus’s and next year I will shred the lightest bindings on the planet. They are lighter than air so to put them on your board you actually have to hold them down. Ask Steve Bates. Get your learn on. I ride the Pure and it is awesome. It is the bottom shape from the 2003 Absolute with a different top shape. I rode this board back then and I still ride it now, for one reason. It is probably the best shape I have ever ridden or will ride. Sometimes gimmicks are just gimmicks. No one should ride a board with cut outs running the whole way down the board and named for how light it is. Or costs more than a normal boots and bindings combined. Ridiculous.

We at CWBTV recently picked up our new camera. For you still photographers out there it is like going from a point and shoot, to an SLR.
This frame grab is taken from 60 frames per second. 1/1000.
We’re stoked.

We have been busy on the water testing some of the first prototypes of the 2010 gear.
Save your unemployment checks. It’s going to be a good year.

It is not:
Bad Cramp Bony Cow
Bad Bowman Cop Cry
Amp Crowd By Bacon
We do enjoy bacon every now and then, however it won’t win you a wakeboard.

I have received several emails as of late offering bribes to divulge hints as to the location of hidden letters. For your information, I love cash.

I am road tripping right now. Driving from Orlando to Atlanta for two days then Knoxville for four then to my hometown in Michigan for my birthday. Then some clinics in Fargo then back to Wisconsin for the second stop of the Mastercraft Pro Tour. Should be a good couple weeks. Let me know if you in any of those cities. Better to be bus than bored right.

For two weeks, it’s safe to say that my skin had more contact with saltwater than fresh water, including shower time. Since I live four hours away from the Ocean, it’s rare for me to get to do things like surfing, snorkeling and wakeboarding in lagoons. Thanks to 2 recent weekends of epic grandeur (Epic hosted contests), I have been able to do that stuff! Collegiate Nationals was in Mission Bay (San Diego) and the next weekend was Boardup Miami in the end of April. The water was rough, but the atmosphere and company made both weekends spectacular! My team (Chico State) made it to the finals and is now ranked as the leading Western Region team. I also got to compete in the men’s individual finals. We got to surf and ride roller coasters right after competing! Miami was awesome because you could see all the buildings of downtown Miami while watching each rider. There was a skateboarding contest going on at the site at the site too. A lot of the girls were at wake games since it was the same weekend, but the competition at Boardup was still intense as girls threw down despite the chop.
This week, the Collegiate Wake Nationals is on CBS college sports. Also there is a new website called wakegirls.com every girl should check out! Shawna and I just had an interview on that website too.
Now my skin has poison oak from hiking, so I have been thinking about how I’d rather have saltwater on my skin again, and I decided to share why!

Whenever i travel, especially to the westcoast, i always wonder why the hell do i live in Orlando? Everything from the lakes, to the mountains, to the women and beautiful on the westcoast. Plus, if i were a wine drinker, i’d love that Cali wine. Everything seems perfect, untill i get back to Fl, and the reality of it hits. Everyday for the past month has been in the 90’s, and the lake is glass everyday. I may love everything else about the westcoast, but i love wakeboarding in Orlando. Its hard to beat perfect days everyday. Plus, the hot weather makes me feel like a teenager again! This post may seem like i’m rambling about a pointless topic because everyone else is sleeping while the lakes butter and i just drank a lot of coffee, which i would have to say is 100% true.

I spent 3 hours doing laps at TSR today after flying. This place never let’s me down. This is probably my 10th+ trip to TSR and I’m still just as excited as my 1st. I came to be a part of Cablestock and have a weekend full of water time. I’ll keep you posted on what’s going on but right now at 9:30 pm I’m heading to surf the river with Gabe Lucas and friends on the natural standing wave. This area has such a good vibe.

Today was supposed to be fun; planed on riding in the morning, and traveling to Sacramento Ca in the afternoon to CIE’s Spring Ride. I came into the day with an awesome double up set in my backyard with my roommates at 9 Am in 80-degree weather, so things started alright. I then proceeded to get to Orlando Intl airport, and check in. My flight was booked through expedia, and upon reaching the ticket counter I discovered I had a layover in Milwaukee. Not exactly on the way to Ca from Fl, but I didn’t let it get me down. The lady at the ticket counter told me to get my ticket from Milwaukee to Ca once I got to my layover. Kinda odd, but I went along with it. Once in Milwaukee, in order to get my second ticket, I had to exit the airport, get my bag from baggage claim, re-check in, and pay AGAIN for my bag! I was a little pissed, but wasn’t the end of the world. But then I discovered I had a “hidden layover”!! What’s a hidden layover you ask? Its like the small print at the bottom of a free coupon that says nothing is actually free, or like the cute little puppy that gives you flies. It basically is a layover that the airlines hide and claim is a direct flight. It goes something like this; lets say you have a flight from Milwaukee to Sacramento, the hidden layover could be the plane stopping in Phoenix for 2 hours before continuing on to Sac. But wait, if it stops, shouldn’t that be a layover? Nope, you have to switch planes to make in an official layover. So, here I am, grumpy about paying for my bag again, and then getting stabbed in the back with my hidden layover in Az. If anything comes out of this 12-hour flight, it’s that I can share my experience of the “hidden layover” with all of you. Don’t let it happen to you!
