Spring Break ‘08
We had the long awaited USA vs. Canada hockey game last week. It was like old home week. It was a perfect mixture of water skiers and wakeboarders. I saw many friends that I have not seen in a long time. Some of the pro wakeboarders on the USA team were Shaun Murray, SeanWatson, Joe Laski, Anthony Monaco, Philip Soven, as well as my students Gillian Sien, Cheada Milovanovic (Cheada won a case of beer for fulfilling the bounty I had on Rusty’s head), and yours truly to name a few.
Team Canada had superstars such as Rusty Malinoski, Chad Sharpe – the Llewelyn brothers.
It was a close game with Canada making 2 more goals than the USA with a final score of 5-3. Nonetheless it was a great game with lots of contact and heart dumped on the ice.
A banquet followed as a much needed reunion with all of the pros that have been in the trenches together for years. The stories flying around were priceless as Alliance and Wakeboarding Magazines tried to capture the moment as much as they could. It was such a great event that it’s been decided that it will be an annual event. We will definitely start training earlier!
After hours I met up with all the wakeboarders in downtown Orlando. Everyone came out of the woodwork – Parks, Shane, Coby, Henshaw, Rusty, Chad, Watson, even Drew McGuckin showed up. It was tough trying to keep up with the kids but being the professional I am did the best I could!
Now we are winding down with spring breakers and are preparing to leave on tour for Briscoe’s Summer Sessions 2008. We hit the road April 30 – planning on 28 stops! We hope to see you there!
