New Forest Water Park, Ride and camp

This weekend we went for a play at our new local cable This was a great laugh with every one riding well and learning new tricks, after a few hours riding we made camp and set up the BBq's cooked a feast of sausages burgers, duck, lobster, crab, kebabs and much more. NFWP had a great vibe on the dock and were very good and looked after us really well.  Photos By Will Evans.

The JamBo

The JamBo was a great event, my first time in Italy (Bologna) and i would well recommend a trip out there for next year, The JamBo is a massive extreme sports festival mixed in with a mass of music from accordions to rock guitars, There really is something there for every one from Nismo drift cars, FMX, freerunning, fs football, surfing and much much more. The wakeboard poolgap had a chips for tricks comp with ten top riders from round the world, The 3 Breddas, Manu Rupp, Steffen Vollert, Sawe Oualiti, Massimiliano Piffaretti, Dan Nott, Nick Davies and Jonty Green. Wakeboard was Judged by Keith Lidberg.

Keith Lidberg had a ride after judging all day. Deciding in the end to clear a safety fence balanced on a rail. Above all it was a great event the main Night time music was Chase and status, zeds dead, Dizzy Rasscle, Major Lazer, To Many Djs, plus much more. One of my Favorite bits from this was riding a flood light cable at 2 in the morn after a hard day taking a pool gap down it was much needed.

Surfs Up !!!

By Martin Hawks

After all the rain last week and reports of Bournemouth being flooded, we thought it would be the perfect time to find a nice stairset and have an inner city wakeskate. However by the time we arrived all the water was gone, so we hit the Bournemouth Surf Reef, which had no surf as per normal as the tide dropped we managed to find a few small shore waves with the odd bigger one thrown in. This was also the weekend of the Airshow and the unfortunate Red Arrow indecent. Rest In Peace Red 4.

The RFA Largs Bay in the distance as Oli Woods comes back throu a nice set.

Nothing like Bournemouth pier to keep the rain off.

Will Evans loving the skate and surf mix.

A really great little evening sesh, even the rain couldn't dampen our spirits, all the surfers may have had a bit of envy as we rode wave after wave, while they sat watching waiting for that perfect set.

Corn Fields & Cable Q's

By Matt Burns

After a crazy week in London due to the rioting, Sarah and I felt we were overdue for a few days abroad, I had heard a lot about this cable park in Germany so there it was. To be honest not a lot of prep work went into this little excursion but it was well worth the experience. It's a 13 hour drive from door to door, which I was good for about the first 3, so big up's to Sarah for not only filming but driving most of the way... there and back...

Emotional night - It's coming soon

New Weir

By Martin Hawks

This weekend we found a new weir, its possibly one of the best we have ever hit mostly due to the amount of ways to hit it across, up, down. it even has a concrete ledge that if waxed up would be very nice.

Oli Woods using the weir as a natural kicker.

Matt Burns sliding concrete.

Luckily Matt had done some homework and also brought a makeshift rail that worked perfectly on this spot.

Shove across the weir uing it as a kinda flat bank, carnage on the elbows knees and hips thou.
