waking & surfing

….. wakesurfing!  A couple of Saturdays ago, for the first time ever, a leg of the European Wakesurf Tour was held in the UK down at JB Waterski.  Did I compete – of course I did. I hadn’t actually wake surfed for over a year; I sucked, and came 6th (last) but I didn’t care because I just wanted to have fun.  And fun I did as Georgie Boyers put on a stella event which meant that as a baby-free mum for the day, I got to enjoy lakeside yoga, a bit of wake surfing followed by a back massage, smooch round the trade stands and some yummy food!  Thanks for a great event, can’t wait till next years!

(I might actually get to practice next time around as there are no more babies to be had. None. No more. Done. Factory closed. Finito).

I’m loving my yoga at the moment!  I try and get 15 / 20 mins done a few times a week in the mornings to set me up for the day.  I find I’m super stiff and cold at the beginning and then as I warm up I get really into it and more flexible which is great for motivating me to deal with the kids.  And it just feels great to get my blood pumping which then makes me more active for the rest of the day!  I’m one of those annoying people that believe the busier you are – the more you get done.  I’m far from decent at the yoga poses but every time I go through the routine I manage to go a little bit deeper into the stretch, or hold the pose for that little bit longer, and I can feel myself getting stronger day by day! 

Wakeboard World Record

Last Friday, James Gray took on the challenge to break the world record for the longest wakeboard – which he smashed – with a total of seven hours, four minutes and 27 seconds!  He has done this to raise money and awareness for Cancer Research UK which is a great cause and to which many of us can relate to.  But James can explain it far better than I can so click on the edit below…
