2012 Canadian WAKE Championships

2012 Rockstar Canadian Wake Championships presented by Nautiques from Jono Boysen on Vimeo.

While I was at the Canadian Cable Championships, all the talk was about what had all went down just the day before at the Wake Championships. In this video make sure to check out Oli and Raph Derome battle it out on their home lake in St-Zotique for the 2012 canadian wake crown. Ultimately it was Oli that took the title, but Raph ended up wining the rail contest and so I guess everything worked out just fine.

On the road.

Gearing up for a five-day road trip that's going to take me from the Derome's to Toronto. I've been looking forward to this trip ever since I got the invite from Guillaume Paré and crew. The purpose of the trip will be to film an episode for wake2wake.ca's own t.v. show that will be airing on RDS later this summer.

Coming along for the trip will be Joe Ferguson, Yan Roy, Yan Lecomte, Ben Leclair, and Guillaume Paré. We will be meeting up with our G.T.A. bros Jono Boysen, Jordan Lavery, Braden Loi, Drew Austin, and the rest of of the Ranch Wake Park team.

Luckily for me I'm going to be at the Derome's with Charlie Sirois and Kelsey Chiappa on Wednesday. We'll be driving there in style with Charlie's sweet monster van! After that I'll wait up for the wake2wake camper van and we'll take to the 401 west on route to Toronto.

After talking on the phone with Jono the other day, looks as though we have a sweet trip planned out for us. Thursday and Friday we'll be hitting the streets looking for some urban spots to winch. Then Saturday/Sunday we're gonna be camping out at the Ranch for some cable riding. Not before attending another Lipsmask premiere party that's going down in Bobcaygeon (wherein I saw the constellation) Friday night.

Stay tuned to www.wake2wake.ca for the whole story....

Lipsmack goes off!

On friday night my dudes at Half Cab Productions held it down at Babylon Nightclub in Ottawa, Ont., for the Canadian video release party of Slingshot's Lipsmack! The video was super well received with many partygoers eager get on the water and see what all the fun is about!! Special thanks to Craig McCallion, Babylon, Slingshot, Slaysh, and the Derome's for putting this thing together! For more photos, please visit www.halfcab.ca

New rails, new fun @ the Derome Cable!

Wow Plaza chez les Derome's is gearing up for a new season with some new rails. They modified the previous flat bar into a sick looking flat up down. The A-frame has been changed as well with the addition of a flat down/up flat section. If this weather keeps up, we will be able to hit these new beauties in no time!! Thanks to www.wake2wake.ca and Marc-André Besner for the update!

Oli Derome.

Oli Derome - Best Footy of 2010 from Wake2wake.ca on Vimeo.
Wake2wake made this edit available that features some of Oli's best stuff in 2010. Since then, Oli is now riding for Slingshot wakeboards and landed a wake to wake 1080 just a few months back. And that's whassup

Slingshotin' at Wow

First day at Wow/Pop Wake School in St. Zotique (a.k.a. the Derome compound) with Charlie Sirois and Craig McCallion. Great first day to get all the cobwebs out and try out some new Slingshot gear that Craig was able to score after showing them the teaser for What Up. I got to try the Slingshot Reflex 141, and was super stoked on it! Just might have to pick one up myself...

What Up! - teaser

What Up Tease I from Craig McCallion on Vimeo.

Check out this teaser for the new video Craig McCallion and Half Cab Productions have put together showcasing Ottawa's local wake scene. This is Craig's second full length release after producing Legit the movie in 2009. The production quality on this new video is crazy with everything being in full HD and then some. Justin and I are super stoked to be a part of this project with a chance to showcase some of the footage we got last year during our 4th stint at the CWC together. WHAT UP will be available for FREE download following it's official release party at Bablyon nightclub in Ottawa, ON on June 17th, 2011. Stay tuned to halfcab.ca for some fresh news, as well as THE BOOMBOX DREAM for some fresh BOOMBOX touched teasers as well...
