the BOOMBOX wake park: coming soon?

The secret is out! Yes, I myself want to bring a wake park to my hometown of Timmins, Ontario. This past Monday I was given the opportunity to present to city council my plans to bring a cable park to Northern Ontario.
The project was very well received, although there remains some opposition for the proposed location at Gillies Lake. But with that said, I still believe we have taken a huge step forward in bringing this dream to fruition. 

Not sure where this will all lead to, but I remain very confident in my proposal enough to say be on the look out for Northern Ontario's first ever straight-line cable park set to open next summer!!

The National.


Tomorrow is the (drum roll please, trumpets sound) 2012 Canadian Cable championships, taking place at my adoptive home cable le Beach Club in Pointe-Calumet, QC. I will be there tomorrow, riding, and therefore "competing". 

Not sure if that's exactly what I'll be doing, but I'm cool with that. Instead I'm gonna focus on expressing the aesthetic significance of wakeboarding, a.k.a STYLE. I'm not going to lie though, having the opportunity to showcase your talent on the national stage is pretty fun and awe-inspiring.

The ultimate goal however is progression, you want wakeboarding to be that much better at the end of the contest than when it began. The 2012 Wake Championships going down right now at the Derome's in St-Zotique, QC, have already proven so. And so I truly believe that with the talent set to descend upon the Beach Club tomorrow, we will have witnessed the best, most complete, most progressive, and most styled Canadian Nationals ever. 

At this time I would like to commend the efforts of Wake Canada, Waterski and Wakeboard Canada, and all those involved for bringing together the 2012 Wake and Cable Championships in one amazing weekend of riding. Well done.
