Day off and asian dinner

The whole team took a day off and we went touristing in Cordoba. Walked around a lot til our flip flops were burning and then had dinner at a sick asian restaurant. Body feels soo much better now!

If I didn’t wakeboard


Sometimes I start thinking about what my life would be like if I didn’t wakeboard. If my dad hadn’t made me try it when I was 14 and made us enter that wakeboard camp. Usually these thought come up whenever my friends asks me if I can do something with them during the summer. Like go on a weeks party-trip to Ibiza or just come to their graduation. I almost always have to turn down these kind of things, cause I’ve got wake-events to attend instead. Don’t get me wrong, I love those events but it’s just interesting to think about what I would’ve done if I didn’t ride. I prob wouldn’t have visited these many awesome places, maybe I’d have a “normal” job or start studying this year or maybe I’d be a professional frisbee golfer.

I mean, almost everything I do, I do because of wakeboarding, I can’t imagine what life would be without it. Random saturday thoughts.. Now lets go ride again! (:

 
I probably wouldn’t be hanging out in only O’Neill stuff either…

Yes!!

Looks like my Moby Dick week had a small stepback today. Last week I thought I sprained my ankle when I landed a bit weird after a tootsie attempt. Today one of the campers, who happened to be a foot doctor, took a look at it and told me she thinks it’s cracked. Since it’s been several days there is not much to do about it but she recommended that I take at least one month of boarding(!?!!) well thats not going to happen, I’ve been riding ever since it got injured but I did take today off. Oh and she just shook her head when she saw that I was wearing flipflops. Now im in trainers and resting all day and tomorrow the hunt for my moby continues (: had a bunch of people land new tricks in the boat today though, makes me happy (:

The only thing I miss here is the ocean and surfing



The last pic is of Briony from when we went surfing at Wilsons Prom back in Aussie (:

Backside 3s

So my goal this week is my Moby dick right? And to land it I decided to learn backside 3s yesterday (yes I know you should do back 3s before attempting an invert with the same rotation) only to realize that the rotatione feels absolute impossible for me. I think I took the same nose edge about 15 times in a row no matter what I tried to change. I can feel it in my neck today and yesterday was the first time in a long time I got really frustrated with wakeboarding. After having some dinner though I went to my favorite website learnwake.com and found a video which explained exactly what I was doing wrong. Stoked to try it again I went up before 8 this morning for a morning shredd, only to notice the lake all blown out. So it became a morning yoga-sesh instead and hopefully we can go out soon so that I can try it. I want this trick before the week is up!

The Zink is back!

Sunny again so we’re fighting to not get fried when we’re in the boats. The mornings are starting to warm up so myself and DC woke up early this morning for a “mobydick monday” set each. I feel pretty cool working on the same trick as he is ;). I’m sick of not landing my stuff so this week I set a goal, one goal, to land a moby dick. I dont care if I have to go out and do 1000 of them, it is happening this week. My attempts felt good this morning so I have a good feeling about it, I’ll let you know how I do. About to go out with a bunch of wakeskaters (cause yeah, I know so much about wakeskating) and then ride again later on. Water is glasss as usual (:
