Preparing for the Wakeboarding and Wakesurfing season is critical to avoid early season injuries and mishaps. Check out this video where I talk about a few different exercises to get you prepared for the season. For some of us the summer only lasts a few months, so if you prepare early, you will be able to enjoy the water for the whole summer.
For more about flexibility check out this video. If the pros do it, don’t you think you should too?
Snowboarding can happen anywhere at anytime with the tool I describe in this video. Nothing more needs to be said, just go out and get it!

A new wakesurfing community has erupted! Ragboy and the folks over at wake9.com have started a community where wakesurfers around the world can come together and post events, blog, share ideas, or figure out the next best wakesurfing idea. Wake9.com started in 2009 and has had a huge impact in the wakesurfing community. Through hosting events, participating in other wakesurf communities, and posting great information, Wake9.com will continue to impact the wakesurfing industry. Click the snapshot of Wake9′s new website (shown below), and you will be able to join the community and explore some of the most up to date information in the wakesurfing world.
It is great to see people like this who are pushing the sport of wakesurfing, and I can’t wait to see what they have up their sleeve for the 2010 season! Go to the wake9 community, sign up, add me as a friend, and enjoy the ride. I have a feeling this one is not going to end unless you fall off the wave. Keep it fresh, keep it clean, and come with us as we watch this sport grow into the masses.
To start off the 2010 snowboarding season, it was my goal to pick up a Banshee Bungee; so I did! In the middle of January I received the Bungee in the mail, and my snowboarding life immediately changed. The hits that I thought were never hittable, now are. I can’t stop looking and thinking of different ways to use the this thing. It seems like the possibilities are endless, and I can’t wait to try it out on the water this summer.
The Banshee Bungee comes in three different bungee packages.
1. Urban Assault – Which consists of a 10ft bungee with a handle and 30ft lead line. ($149.00)
2. Outlaw Slinger – Which consists of a 20ft bungee with a handle and 30ft lead line. ($215.00)
3. Federal Offense – Which consists of two 20ft bungees, two handles, and a 30ft lead line. ($425.00)
It is easy to see the difference in the three packages, and I would recommend the Outlaw Slinger for newbies to the bungee phenomenon. If you want a shorter bungee you can tie the Outlaw Slinger off at a shorter distance. This will allow you to still be able to ride the areas where 180ft of stretched out bungee is not attainable. If you are looking to skim water and hit your secret water spots, I would recommend the Federal Offense. I do not believe that you will be able to get enough speed to hit the water with the other two packages.
In the end, if you can see at least one spot where you can use the Banshee Bungee, I would pick one up. As soon as you get the bungee you will be amazed how your eyes and imagination open up and you will start to see the many different uses for the bungee. It has been one of the best purchases I have made, and I will continue to use the Banshee Bungee for a long time!
This VIDEO is just one of the great ways to use the bungee; at least I thought it was!!
In the midst of 50 degree weather, torrential downpours, and every local trash mound in Michigan shutting down. It is looking like our snowboarding season is over. I hoped our local hills could make it another week, and I am sad to say that they did not last. We are done, and need to move on with our lives, right?? Wrong! All it takes is that overdue grocery trip you have been meaning to accomplish for the last three short months you have been snowboarding. Wouldn’t you know it, Meijer, was the only place that was left to snowboard. If all of your local hills, mountains, or watering holes are closed due to poor weather and a short season, look to your nearest shopping center for left over piles of snow and your snowboarding season may live on. Watch this video as this is exactly what my boy Andrew and I have done. We made the best out of what we had and we won’t quit until the snow is gone. Enjoy the show and get it while the gettin’s good!
