Hyperlite Northeast Tour Stops by Pittsburgh

admin — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 13:54:10 +0000

Of all of the wakeboard brands out there, Hyperlite gives our area the most attention. This past summer the Hyperlite rep and some pro riders made stops at Lake Milton, Conneaut Lake, Erie & Pittsburgh. There goal was to show everyone the new Hyperlite product and to introduce riders to the System Bindings. I got a chance to ride the Systems in Columbus this summer and they were awesome.

Here is the video from the whole tour.

Private Wakeboard Lake in Ohio

admin — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 23:03:54 +0000

I finally got a chance to head over to Ohio this Sunday to check out my buddy’s private man made wakeboard lake. Fully stocked with two docks, hot tub, up rail, super air nautique and two turn-around islands. Long enough to throw about 4-5 tricks in a pass, but small enough to keep it glassy all of the time. Check out the pictures below.

When Life Gives You Lemons We Baywatch

admin — Thu, 11 Aug 2011 00:10:00 +0000

Another lazy day on the Mon River near downtown Pittsburgh. Unfortunately, there were 30 mph wind gusts that made wakeboarding not much fun and we left the surf board on the dock. Our Solution: Baywatching (jumping off the boat at high speeds), Jet Ski Sinking, Diving to the bottom of the Mon River to see who could pick up the biggest rock, Water balloon fights and pier jumping. All in all one of the better days I have had this summer. Enjoy the video.

Wakeboard Pictures 7-17-11

Had a great time riding down near Castaway Keys on the Monongahela River with BJ, Gabriel & crew. BJ had his X-Star slammed with weight and the wake was awesome. Bj is really close to roll to reverts and it is always fun to teach raleys. Check out the pictures:

A Wakeboard Weekend

admin — Tue, 28 Jun 2011 13:11:29 +0000

Went down to Ten Mile to do some single wide camping, pimped out golf cart riding, campfire grilling and a little bit of wakeboarding. Did I mention we burned through 48 gallons of gas in a little under four hours in the X-Star. I guess that is what happens when you weight the shit out of it…

Enjoy the random GoPro videos.

New X-Star in Town

Paul bought a Red X-Star. They took it out on the Mon last night and had a Jet Ski trail the rider to take photos. This is what turned out:

Hopefully we will see more from Paul in the future.

Wakeboarding 6-4-11

Wakeboarding in Pittsburgh, PA on the Monongahela River on June 4th, 2011.

Random thoughts: The SAN 210 wake is like hitting a brick wall. The new R7 sub in the boat sounds killer. Matt is killing his stalefishes and toesided w2w. We tought Leslie how to get up. Ryan is finally over his broken ribs. Murt is still bending over like he is taking it in the butt. Kyle can’t do a decent batwing to save his life.

Enjoy the pics.
