Stu Shinn warms up with Rusty

January 26th, 2010

Now that Florida has warmed up, it’s back to business! Stu just had a photo shoot for Rusty and Wieland tagged along to film. The guys were out on the water early to get their shots and started throwing down hammers right away. After hitting their home dock on Lake Nan, they decided to head on over to a nearby winch spot. Stu has been shredding on his new CWB wakeskate – the 419.

Mixin it up

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.

the ultimate teamer

November 6th, 2009

Steve Bates my CWB team manager is becoming pretty much a media mogul. He shoots all the CWB_TV videos and edits them. As well as managing the team and shooting lifestyle of it all. The lifestyle is more for just us though. Every time I talk to him he is dealing with new stuff or new cameras. He had a small Sony and then a P2 and now he got this little gem. A Canon 7D I think. It’s a very high end picture camera and also shoots high definition video. Which is crazy. And the quality is unreal. Like this shot he took of me the other day just driving the boat. Yeah Anon. It’s really rad having Steve get into all this because I am also getting into it but he is far more advanced than me but he is able to show me things in a avery simple way. And explain things to me a lot easier than I could get from reading a book. He goes over the top a million times compared to any other team manager. And he’s funny as shit.

Injury Update

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!!!
