Last week I had the pleasure of working with Mike from MacMac Photography again. The last time we shot together it was raining, grey and generally miserable, (he still got some amazing photos though!) This time we lucked out, we had sunny weather and warm waters. Here are some of the shot from our shoot…
After the Nationals (and the big air comp on Saturday), I headed over to Liquid on Sunday morning for my first heat in the Plastic Playground Qualifier. This was an open event so I had to ride with the boys. I had absolutely no chance of going through to the main event which is being held later on this month, as I was riding against all of the UK’s finest riders – but it was a rail comp and I wanted to ride. As it turned out, I was nearly sick with nerves! It was a much quieter event than the one I’d competed in just the day before and coupled with going up against the boys made me feel nauseous! But I did it anyway. I had my second heat eight hours later on that same day. Both laps were ok, not my best and definitely not my worst. I’m glad I rode in the end so happy days!
Thanks I Love Wake for the photos x
This week is pretty intense for me with so much going on…
On Thursday I have my final assessment for my Level 3 Wakeboard Coaching Course (that I’ve been working on for a year and a half!). So I’m spending my week frantically tidying up my coursework.
Friday and Saturday are the British Cable Wakeboard Nationals down at JB Ski which are always nerve-racking but fun all rolled into one.
Sunday is the Plastic Playground qualifier comp (no ladies category here, riding with the guys!)
I’m going to need a large glass of red wine by Sunday evening… wish me luck!
