2011 a year full of..... Injuries, fun and firsts!

As You can see 2011 started off great on the floor of a bathroom by what it looks like a slightly heavy night. Or it was for the release of CTRL Wakeboards and when your slightly behind on posting something in the easier ideas seem to get taken first. This is what my friends and I came up with...

Or they just caught me on an off night out ;)

Apart from that I started off the season working hard on getting my shoulder moving and strong again. During my recovery I got frozen shoulder which prevented me from moving on so I had to go back in to get a fluid injected into my joint. Felt like someone was blowing me up like a balloon, very weird.


Not a great time being injured whilst everyone is out there riding and having fun, but a friends tattoo always makes me smile. As it is slightly embarrassing having this on your body I can't mention no names....ASHLEY TEMPLEMAN 


Having all my hair over the winter started to get a little too much and slightly annoying soo I decided I'm having short hair from now on!

 

A pre season warm up is always good at the LDB Wake School, this is where I got back onto the water for my first time, felt soo good. Cold! but good :)

After riding a bit more in the UK I took a trip to Holland to meet the Guys at Protest, my newest sign. Such an awesome company!

Protest had actually organised a trip to Florida for us where the whole International team came. 
We got to ride heaps at McCormick's in Tampa. Lefty cable but was actually amazing once you get past the first couple of days and start relaxing with it.

Always good to meet some of my yankee friends, Donald and I went for a few hours and many miles shredding our long boards. Now thats Cardio!


Wakeboarding is not always as glamorous as Florida, Trust me I've done a few rough nights.
In the back of Matt Crowhurst's Relentless (literally), big red bus!

Ok it's a lie it's Glamorous! We get to meet women like this!
Shotgun!

This was over a weekend I manage to be at home and have free. The Horse races, full of getting up early having beers, shots and what not from 7 ish. These are the messiest guys you will ever meet!

My first Wedding!
Matt and Sophie got married I had the privilege to be invited, it was the most romantic day ever!!!


Serbia, Europeans 

There was more that went on but I couldn't wait to explain how good yoga is!
In America I went for my first class with Marc and Mumma Shuster, it was Bikram Yoga and I tell you, it is NOT easy at all me and Marc walked out 3 times and Ros stayed in for the whole session!
Props Ros

Last and not least I think I could solidly say it's also been the year for Reach films
