Default Awesome week

I've probably just had one of the most fun weeks ever wakeboarding!!!

I rode up at the quays last night for 45 mins, 1 1/2 hr and a 15 minute set!!!

James was driving the awesome X2 and I feel like I've improved so much!!

Makes a massive difference when you're being towed by 1.) A wicked boat and more importantly 2.) a good coach!

I got my first stalefish, tailgrab and tindy last night so have more to put to the indy grab I've only been doing so far!

Worked on my toeside wake to wakes, and also got my first bit of huge air out of the wake, thought I was off to the moon hehe!!!

Cheers to everyone up at Quayside, love that place!

Still laughing about my small black eye I've got, and stoked with the 180 to blind, going to try many many more of those this weekend!

Hope everyone else has had fun out on the water this week, and hope you all have an awesome weekend!

Super stoked

Kirky

Apologies I misread your original post. I find 45 mins is about my limit before I start to get very ragged.

It is amazing I find how much a boat set in a lake with a good driver/instructor can improve your driving. I have never had a set at the Quays but hope to soon. When I have used the boats at JB in Thorpe even for just a 15 mins session I have found that the good drivers (Terry etc) there really improve my riding compared to when I go out in Langstore Harbour with my mates.

Talking of which how much is a set at Quayside? Can you book online like JB or do you just call them?
