I’m back in Dallas after a great trip to Colorado for the WWS Shred Fest put on by the Endless Wave Tour and Tige Boats.  We went last year and immediately planned on going back this year because of the good times, beautiful weather, fun people and, of course, Squid!

The Outlaw division was combined to include both surf and skim competitors.  And it was one of those days where everything seemed to click and I hit just about every trick I know during my run  – – including a Big Spin!  First time to land a surf style Big Spin in a competition!  It was awesome.  An Air Reverse, Ollie 720, Shuv In to Shuv Out were examples of some of the others.  I’m super stoked to have won First Place!

But like all these events, half the fun is hanging out with my buds and goofing off!  Good times for sure!  Eager to do that mountain wake surfing again next year!  Thanks to everyone and congratulations to all the riders.

Enjoy this picture of me right in the middle of the Big Spin!  Thanks to Tim Walker for the killer shot!

Josh Sleigh, an ocean surf master, board shaping legacy and editor of Alliancewakesurf.com, contacted me asking if I would shoot a “line” of surfing.  Must admit that I haven’t done one before but was stoked to take a shot of putting a decent run on film.  We ran out to the lake to give it a shot and the link below is what I threw down.  I’m pissed that I missed the Big Spin at the end but otherwise it is 3:15 of non-stop, surf-style tricks with no edits, no cuts, etc.  I’m motivated now to go out and lay an even better one down!

This past weekend took us up to Virginia to compete in the 2014 Lake Anna Wake Surf Open.  We had a great time and enjoyed hanging with all my buds and meeting some new friends too!  Weather and water conditions were perfect for a weekend of wake surfing!  I am happy to wrap up the weekend with a First Place in Men’s Outlaw Surf!  Now I’m off to the beaches of North Carolina with my great buddy Zane Montgomery!  Time to do some skimming on the beach!!
