I went out and got a huge number of great shots on the Friday - I managed to score a spot in the boat and just loved it...

wake.co.nz haven't approved my membership yet so I'll post the links here and someone can repost there if they want...

Ive emailed one of the wakeboardingNZ ladies to add linkage to wake too. But they found us here anyways

Gav gave Neil the headsup, who inturn gave me the headsup.

Neither of us had shot Wakeboarding before, so I had no idea on how the 'in crowd' compose normally. So stabbed at them.

Big ups to the judges/organisers for letting us both on the back of the tow craft so willingly. I must say it was an awesome boat and certainly helped to get some nice shots

My not so flashy ones from a hard to expose Saturday..

The man himself..


This one nearly got taken out by the banner from the slide..
