Just starting the 36 hour trek to Naga in the Phillipines for the kick off to the 09 WWA World Series. At this point I’m flying solo but I will be meeting Spencer Smith and JD in Manilla. I’ll be at Camsur Watersports Complex for 10 days of free riding, competing, and watching riders from over 30 different countrys shred. I’ll be updating my blog with photos and stories through all of the action. Right now all I have for ya is a photo of the two fresh set ups I’m bringing with me and also the view out of the window in first class. JK that’s from the Crown Room at the airport.
To make my blog much easier to add to while on the road I’m attempting to do it from my iPhone. So if your reading this I made it work.?! We’ll see.
It recently came together that myself, Trevor Hansen, and Corey Bradley will be heading to Australia for the Aussie Pro Tour in late January and early February. Trev and I will be there for 18 days starting January 21st and Corey will pretty much be there the entire winter. I’m pretty psyched on this trip!!! Competing in the Aussie Pro Tour is just the start of it. We’re making tons of time to free ride some incredible spots, do some tow ins on the gold coast with Jeff Weatherall at snappers, and we’re going to be stopping in to many of the CWB dealers along the way.
I’m planning on documenting the entire trip right here on my website with daily blogs and photos. You’ll get to see all the stuff that usually falls through the cracks on these trips. I’ll get the entire schedule for the trip up soon. Big thanks to Justin Abbott, Kris Bowers and everyone else involved for making this trip happen.
If you’ve made it this far in this blog the next part is for you. I decided recently that coming into 09 I’m going to keep my website and blog updated through all of my travels. There were so many great experiences in the last few seasons where myself and a few friends ended up in truly unique places to ride. Beyond the usual press release and photo of the podium so much more happens on these trips.
It is on a very regular basis that I am amazed with the places and the events that I’m fortunate enough to see through wakeboarding. And I hope you will be too. From some of the most scenic places that could possibly be ridden to staying in a haunted hostel( that’s a crazy story). I’m going to keep you posted. Wait, that sounded about like a tag line for this blog. You know like a, “stay classy San Diego”. I can do better than, “Keeping you Posted”
I’ve also been shooting photos of my travels for the past 4 years and plan on having photos to go along with a majority of the blogs and as well.
much to come, Andrew
