SA Boat Pro Wakeboard Tour- Stop 1


The first boat pro tour stop took place at the beginning of Febuary. The event was held at Emerald Resort and Casino on the Vaal River in JHB. I had so much fun riding and chilling with the coolest people. This was the first time I had ridden behind boat since nationals last year so I was pretty nervous.

I flew to JHB on Thursday night with Marius Labuschagne and spent the night at his moms place. The next morning we headed off early for the Vaal. We got to ride behind his dads boat on the Vaal and then later we went to where the comp was being held at Emerald Resort for our practice ride.

The first night a bunch of us went for pizza. I have never ever in my life eaten a pizza with so much cheese and toppings on it. After pizza we went to play ten pin bowling. I came stone last- definitely the worst ten pin bowler around.
