Results: Ultimate Wake Championship

Tuesday, January 25th, 2011

The boys from the CWB team are on their way back to the States from Camsur Watersports Complex (CWC) in the Philippines.

CWC is the ultimate place to host a competition of this caliber because they not only have a lake designed for boats but they also have a winch park and a cable park all within walking distance from each other.  No matter what your forte is, CWC has it.

It was a popular event with riders from all over the world.  CWB had several riders including Andrew Adkison, Trevor Hansen, Kaesen Suyderhoud, Gabe Lucas and Nick Jones who all competed.

In the Pro Men’s Wakeboard (Boat) division, Trevor Hansen took second place, Andrew Adkison took 3rd and Nick Jones took fourth place.

In the Pro Men’s Wakeboard (Winch Park) division, CWB’s newest team rider, Keasen Suyderhoud took first place, winning the title with a 10 point spread.

The Ultimate Wake Championship was a great event with both wakeboarding and wake skating, the riding was unreal.





To see more photos and scores, definitely check out CWC online.

Video: Nick Jones Tames the Amazon!

Monday, April 26th, 2010


Wow, I’ve finally recovered from the craziness of the Maresia King of Wake in Manaus, Brazil.  Never in my life have I partied harder, rode harder, and meet so many rad people as this last weekend in Manaus. The first thing you must know, is the clubs in Manaus don’t close until early in the morning, like 8 am, and, somehow I found myself there until 8 every night/morning. The next thing is that the local riders, the Black River wake crew, can party all night, and ride their faces off all day.  At the ripe age of 23, I am definitely not able to do all that they do, but I managed for the last two days I was in town.  Manaus was probably the closest to wakeboarding perfection possible. Everyone there had massive wakes, so much so that when I went back to Orlando the wakes felt small.  Also, the Amazon is always calm, and the scenery is amazing! All that, plus the most stoked crew I’ve been with, made my week the best trip I’ve been on.  There were some gnarly times, like when a local shot mortars at our boat because we sunk his canoe, but luckily no ones hand/foot got blown off. Although, one of the mortars did hit our bimini and bounced off to explode in the water about 5 feet from the boat! After that, the crazy local wasn’t as funny anymore.  Even crazier than the local shooting the mortar was the driving! In Manaus, lanes are simply a suggestion.  Andre, the guy who brought us in, would periodically cut between two cars going about 50 mph, in middle of two lanes!! Seriously, it was like Fast and Furious driving! I think the picture of the flipped car explains it all. Another point that stood out in the trip was the crazy freshwater dolphins that swam in the river.  I have no idea what they were, but they looked just like dolphins and played around in the water in the same way.  Overall, I am stoked on Manaus, and am looking at an excuse to go back. Thanks to Andre, Hugo, Felipe, Angelina,Diana and everyone else that helped us out on our trip. Also, thanks to Austin Hair for getting me involved, you’re the man bro! Look for the vids to be popping up soon on NickJonesWake.com

Finally getting my wakeboard blog up! Less than a week before I head to Abu Dhabi for the first World Tour stop. Been riding everyday getting ready. Stoked to travel outside North America for the first time in my life, figured Abu Dhabi would be a good place to start. Planning on updating photos and videos before the trip so the site will be looking good. Also, Nascar Daytona 500 vid coming soon!

Nick Jones and Kirby Liesman session the Daytona 500

Thursday, February 18th, 2010

Centurion has their sponsorship hand in the NASCAR cookie jar, so every year you can find them entertaining the crowd on the infield lake with a small group of riders behind Centurion boats. This year’s rider line up included CWB’s Kirby Leisman and Nick Jones. It’s not the same as being there, but we captured some riding and some of the Daytona 500 experience on video for you.

Mixin it up

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

I’m back to riding, and really kicked it off this weekend. On friday, my good friend from Nebraska, Ben Bazis, came into town to ride for abit. Ben was featured in Ronnie Ramaro’s video SNAFU, and definitely kills it….especially on rails. I’d recently received a new vide (CWB’s new press board) and was wanting to try it out, so we headed out to Tampa cable in the morning. After spending all day on it, we were beat, and started heading back to orlando. Once there, and after an amazing meal at Chic fila, we decided to head to OWC. It was awesome, completely empty. By the end of the day i think my rail riding skills doubled, and had to be one of the most fun days i’ve had riding. Pretty crazy considering i didn’t ride boat or do any airtricks. I guess its all about the friends your with, and the flex board probably helped.

Injury Update

Wednesday, October 14th, 2009

About a month ago i had the pleasure to go to TSR and shred cable for acouple days. TSR is on my top 5 places to ride in the world, behind boat or cable! I’m totally stoked on everything about that place, so was super excited about going out there. On my second day of riding I was having one of the best times on a board i’d had in a long time. I finally stomped a switch S-Bend to blind, straight into a regular S-Bend to blind, so was feeling pretty good. Then, on my next pass, i popped alittle low on an air front to fakie, and hyperflexed my knee. Long story short, a week later i was under the knife getting a piece of pinched off cartilage in my knee scoped out. I was on crutches for about a week after, and now have been walking for about a week. Although my injury was minimal compared to many, the time off the water has definitely made me realize one thing…. life sucks without wakeboarding! Seriously i think about it all day everyday, like a girlfriend that just dumped me that i can’t get over. I think i have one more week of recovery then its back on the water!! Luckily, the location of the pinched cartilage is in the back of my knee so it’s the only thing that can happen to my knee with no long term damage. During my time off my roommates created a dirtbike track around our house, so i’ve been able to hit it on the john deere. Check out the pic, pretty fun. Anyways, i’m counting down the days till i’m back on the water!!!

Another Week in Texas

Thursday, September 24th, 2009

On Monday, the 14th, the iwake team flew to Texas to begin shooting our team video. We were all stoked to get out there, and to find out what the plan for the vid was. Meeting us out there was Spencer Norris and Adam Burwell, the guys picked to film and edit the video. I’ve worked with Spencer Norris before, so was stoked to have the chance to work with him again on this project. He definitely has the creative eye it takes to make a wake vid different than the norm. Meeting us also was Spencer Smith, with the job of documenting the trip and future trips for WBM. Unfortunately for everyone, the weather was anything but perfect all week, ruining any chances of getting some shooting done. It did give everyone a chance to coordinate the upcoming filming trips and get stoked on the chance to travel the world. Some of the locations will be New Zealand, Mexico, and others with amazing backdrops and perfect lakes. After the week in Dallas, I took off to TSR for the weekend for some cable riding. TSR is one of my favorite cable parks, and did not disappoint this trip. Finally I conquered my fear of a switch s-bend to blind, so that pretty much made the trip for me. But then the unthinkable happened, I took a gnarly fall, and all I could feel was the pain in my knee! That was last weekend, and still I’m having trouble walking. Went to a doctor, and luckily no ligament damage, but not sure about the meniscus. He put me on some anti-inflammatory pills and wished me luck. I’ll keep you updated on any occurrences, hopefully it’ll go smoothly and I can find myself back at TSR in no time.
