The Girls Ride Day this year was amazing!!  It was the first year I was involved and I loved it!  Jules Haley put the day together at Quayside Wakeboard where girls could come hang out for the day.  There was loads going on.  The girls could ride the boat and / or the system 2, eat yummy hot dogs, load up on Relentless, get involved with the Nalu Beads workshop, have a massage from KURUP FIT, learn how to hoola hoop and all while basking in the sun!

Girls came from all over to be involved with the day.  We had girls trying wakeboarding for the first time, girls learning a new wake jump or a new invert, hitting the slider and some progressing with their big tricks.  Everyone was really pushing it!  Lilly from Wake Up Brighton was styling it on the box and Kat from WakeMK was trying backrolls.  Big ups go to Sharm and Lottie from WakeMK… Sharm tried her first backrolls on the system 2, and landed her fourth attempt, and Lottie landed her first blind judge!!  Well done girls! 🙂

Jules, Sarah and I had the chance to get on the water at the end of the day as well…

Massive thanks to Jules for putting the day together, Quayside for hosting, Phil for coaching, Abby for driving the System 2, Ollie for hot-dogging, Relentless for hydrating, Sharm for massaging, Sarah for helping out with the coaching, O’Neill for prizes, Nalu Beads for the workshop/goodies and all the girls who got involved!! 🙂

I’ve just had a training session with Sharm of KURUP FIT with kettlebells.  We use these most sessions, but maybe only once or twice.  This time however, I did nearly everything with either an 8kg bell or a 12kg bell.

As usual, we started with a warm up, jogging, jumping and lots of stretches.  I then went through two different circuits during the session.  The hardest thing I had to do was to pick up the 12kg kettlebell, do a deep squat and then use my squat power and momentum to push the bell above my head – you try doing that with ball that nearly weighs a quarter of your body weight!

As always, Sharm kept it fun for me while working me hard.  Every session I can feel I’m getting fitter and stronger!  Its always good to hear Sharms feedback after every session as she can see the changes as well, which is always a positive and great to know your workouts are paying off! 🙂

It was Ladies Morning at WakeMK on Sunday morning.  The weather was rubbish, I’m not going to lie about it.  It was drizzling, grey and freezing, but the water was flat and the brave women who came out to play were greeted with an intimate wedge / kicker session right in front of the dock. 🙂

After a warm up from KURUP FIT to get us all amped up, we got on the water.  We had endless fun on the new wedge that WakeMK had just put in, its really mellow and friendly so its easy to learn something new, even I learnt a couple of new tricks on it!

We had some goodies to give away as usual.. Delphine won the Wide-A-Wake goodie bag as she nailed getting around the cable for the first time, well done for all the hard work! Olena won the KURUP FIT voucher for trying raleys off the kicker and taking a few stacks.  Sharm won the Nalu Beads prize for learning to nose press the box, yew!  And finally, Emsey won the Two Seasons goodies for learning a toe blind one, and a toe blind 3 on the wedge!  Sick riding girls!!
