WakeCarro

Stupid stupid headache! Wont go to cable after all, hope I feel better tomorrow!

When I was feeling sorry for myself and whining to the campers I got offered an advil by the young ripper Sofia who’s at the camp right now. I love that when she gave it to me she also told me “you can’t wakeboard without advil close by!”. Love that she already has that attitude when she’s only 14! (Btw, she also landed her first tantrum today so I bet we’ll see lots more of her in the future!)

Another day in sunny Florida with perfect conditions. I learned how to ride wrapped on my second set! (yup haven’t done it before) and straight after I landed a wrapped sw ts bs 180 one wake. Super stoked on that really weird trick which was no more than a couple of inches high!  I also hung out in the boat while the campers rode and I’m pretty impressed by these guys. Specially with JJ’s raley crashes! While tanning in the front I accidentally fell asleep so now I’m toasted by the sun. Got a pretty sweet raccoon tan from my sunglasses…

I love that it’s so warm out here that you don’t even have to wear a wetsuit when you ride in the sunset, it’s even better than we ever get during the swedish summer!

Tomorrow is cable day and Trudi’s birthday! Yay day! (:

I’m getting pretty good at these pose pictures.. (Think that’s a bad thing?) haha anyways, had an off day today where I felt kind of low and missed home. Will try to blame it on hormones, lack of nutritions or something else but who knows. Anyways, things got a lot better after a sunset ride with Bob! Thanks a million dude!

Oh yeah, today I got totally eaten up by a dog while tanning on the beach.. It came out of nowhere and were SO happy to see me that it jumped and started licking my face. Trying to protect myself from claws, sand and drool I got tangled up in it’s leach. I lost my bikini top in the process and the owner (an old man) did nothing to help me besides saying “No, bad dog” in a not too enthusiastic voice.

Thank you Froggy and Gatorboards for sending me this little beauty to try out (: I also backed up a boat trailer (with a boat on) for the first time ever! (yey me and awesome coaching on doing it by Brandon).

(I got some weird reflections on the boards since it so shiiiny)

Time to lye out in the sun and wait for the campers to finish riding and then hit it up! I’ve been trying some stuff on the trampoline today which I’m stoked on taking out to the water!!

Riding today was crazy! Flat water, sunny, hot boat driver, what more can you ask? So I decided to show you guys some of the shooting I did.. Let’s just say it didn’t hurt…

So, this saturday right: Got off work at like 1 and went to Katies house to chill in the sun and drive around in her golf truck. Then we went to OWC to watch the step down contest just to get there and see that they are still building the set up. So, instead of waiting we decided to go on a food hunt so, me and Trudi went to the mall (where we ended up spending like 2 hours). So we went to Mochies to get frozen yoghurt (such great wakeboarding food). 

Went for a run again and super stoked to see that I run 3 WHOLE MINUTES faster on the track I started with when i first got here! Sweet! Then I also just wanted to add that anyone who might want anything from VS (hint, someone who’s about to get married) should send me some sizes… (:

The wind is terrible today so the whole lake is white capping but maybe some brave coaches would like to ride anyways… I hope so! Guess I should start kiteboarding as well so that I would always have something to do no matter how windy it is. Ah well, maybe this summer!

Just came home after some shedd at the cable. Finally I feel like I’m getting back into it! I had so much fun but I didn’t wear a wetsuit so after spendning a couple of hours trying new tricks I showered for like 2 hours trying to get warm. After all the riding we went to Florida mall and Victorias Secret before going home and eating some pizza and now: SLEEP.

Just thought that Brandon’s outfit of the day should get some space in here to.

So just finishing up with some lunch before we head out to OWC (Orlando watersport complex) to play! Too bad Nudie Trudie hurt her knee again, it would’ve been fun to ride with her but see you soon anyways buddy!
