Wakeboarding Camps!

Lately we have been tweeting a lot about some camps you can attend to dial in your tricks and jumps. After we did some research we found one camp that we really liked so we would like to highlight it this week in our blog! Only one problem with this camp is that you will have to wait until next summer... this nationally recognized camp in located in WISCONSIN!

The Gordy Bubolz Wakeboarding Camp is located in Fremont Wisconsin. This will be their 19th season in the wakeboarding camp business. They are the nations premier all-inclusive camp which usually run 6 days and 5 nights. There are two main cabins on the property, both with a log cabin finish. Campers will wake up at 7:30 each morning where they are served home-cooked breakfast before heading out out to the waters. During the morning runs each camper will get the chance to take two runs behind Gordy's brand new wakeboarding boat. After the morning runs each day will be filled with a fun event including learning new tricks on the trampoline and cliff jumping! Each meal is made right there at the camp by Gordys wife and other camp leaders. All of the campers rave about the wonderful home-cooked meals!

Wakeboarding Social Networks!

When asked to find social networking sites for class I truly thought I would struggle finding them. To my surprise I was able to find them in no time! The bigger of the two I found was http://www.hookit.com/ This site is an awesome social media networking app which you can download via phone or tablet. Hookit is not only for wakeboarders, it is for all action sports athletes. I do not have the app downloaded quiet yet so i searched around to find reviews for hookit.

After reading a ton of reviews most of the feedback is positive! I see that hookit sends out tons of coupons to its cosumers, including 25% off GoPro and 40% off at Hayes. When providing coupons to your users you are almost guaranteed to see them again. In better cases they would refer you to their friends. Hookit is an awesome site to connect, compare tips and tricks! Check it out today!

Cold Water Ahead!

With fall season straight ahead, and the water getting colder and colder its finally wetsuit season! Many boarders do not wear wetsuits during the summer due to the high temperatures but during the later boarding months I would strongly recommend buying a flotation, and insulated wetsuit. Where do you buy wetsuits? Many online wakeboarding stores have a decent selection but I highly recommend Evo.com They have a large selection of almost 30 wetsuits for guys and over 20 for women. Not interested in the full suit? They carry half suits and boots or even hoods to keep your head warm! Check out the full selection here!

People often ask me which one is the best? The answer is not the same for everyone as each and every wetsuit has different features and styles. For the average seasonal wakeboarder looking for a good wetsuit I would recommend the O'Neil 3/2 Hammer suit. This suit has good style and the boarder has complete mobility when wearing it. Seamless design and a double superseal neck to keep cold water out! Check it out here!

WINTER WAKEBOARDING, YOU'VE GOT TO BE CRAZY!

In this area we are very unfortunate to have the winter season (according to all wakeboarders). Many people looking at wakeboarders from the outside in, think that we are crazy. Why? That is a very good question...But these people are taking crazy to new levels. Check out these boarding giving it all for one last board session in the frigid cold of a UK winter! http://throwitdown.com/video/winter-wakeboarding.html

Crazy huh? Well a couple of the Redbull boarders kicked it up a notch and did the same thing in the middle of a US winter (beware: viewing these pictures may cause hypothermia) http://www.wakeworld.com/news/feature/winter-wakeboard-winchfest-01-08-10-15-21-42-416.html

I give you all permission to call those folks crazy!
