Murray and Ruck on way to Kelowna PWT

So we are sitting in the Seattle airport on our 5 and half hour layover watching the end of Apocolypto and having a turkey sandwich. Murray just landed and had to re-check bags to get into Canada. So please keep us company while we have to wait for the next flight at 5pm. Ruck is on the phone checking out pics of his new puppy at home. WE ARE BORED!

Get a beer for christ sakes! I kicked Ike's ass the other night in pool!

Ohhh... The Vandall rides dopeness!

Almost forgot to mention, in Wilmington N.C. right now, at the beach all day...96*, how's it up there??

Murray here and i am thinking of renting another movie from InMotion. any ideas of some good flix? I've seen a lot this summer since i have been traveling a lot.
on another note, you guys gettin your subscription to The Standerd? you should.

"Friday" would be a good movie to rent for today.

Shaun, any plans for an updated wakeboarding video game? We really liked Unleashed!

Gotta make sure you make it to the philippines sometime soon and hit up Cam Sur, then make sure you go to Boracay for a few days to relax.

Be back on in a few going to another restraunt to get some burgers.....Chilis sounds good. Keep posting so we have something to do when we sign back on.
Murray

Shaun,
We'd love to have you at the NJ wakefest next year. Get in touch with Alex Kinon and make it happen! Randall and Ike killed it this year...was a grand old time!

And yes I did witness J2 and Ike play pool a few games...Ike has got a wicked break!

Movie suggestion:
"Thank you for Smoking"

Hey Shaun, have you seen Alpha Dog?? You and Ruck please ride safely in Kelowna! You will be seeing the boys soon if you are going to Seattle but if not, you will be spending some quality time with them at Shasta. (note: Eddie is a good cook) I will see you in Portland! hugs, robyn

I'll take bocce's #

Hey Shaun, layovers suck. Alex just called and he justed crossed the boarder, should be in Kelowna by 3:00 at the end of his 10 hour drive. Good luck this weekend.

Shaun, Dave here from the NJ crew..........ditto on what KG said about Wakefest........we'd love to have you next time. No worries hosting you for a few days if needed too!
(we are definitely putting NJ on the wakeboard map)

"Four Rooms" or "The House of Yes"

When you coming back to Texas??? Your wife's family misses her (I think?? Isn't she from FM)

5 hour layover in Seattle? Should have called Vertigo for some bridge poachin'!

Oh, Eric of course you're more than welcome to join the NJ crew next year as well! Didn't mean to not include you!

Minneosta is a place to be today! 94 out and zero wind.

Shaun,

Didnt know if you or Paul heard - but Brendan from back home - LSL (pilot) just had a really bad accident over the 4th. Broke both legs - shoulder, wrist, shattered some bones in the face, and a couple of other scraps and bruises.
I dropped my phone in the lake - and lost all my numbers so hopefully this gets to you guys.

I am on my up to the hospital to see him- Please keep him in your prayers.

also a good movie - "fightclub"


Thanks and keep up on the great riding this year!

R-

Enjoy your burgers guys...
I've got to chill w/ mom and step-dad for the rest of the evening, leaving back to MA in the morning PEACE

how about Rusty's number lol.

Hey Shaun, how do you like the new Nelson shapes?

Isnt this ironic Shaun, because we are also on our way to Kelowna. But not in the airport. We are stuck in traffic making the multi multi hour long drive from Seattle to Kelowna. Its me( Trevor), Derek Grasman, and Scotty Broome. We have been in the car for about an hour and only managed to make it about 10 miles so far. And Derek says he met your neighbor this morning at the airport, and we just ate chipotle and panda express and are about to explode!

Well my kid is finally really in Canada now, seems there was some delay at the boarder, something to do with trying to take fireworks into Canada , BRILLIANT!!!

haha niice, i think i met Alex last weekdn, at WWA

Trevor .... Its lamos here....glad we didn't leave with you. sounds like we are gonna beat you there.

I did hear about Brendan...he is in our prayers for sure.

Yea Lamos but you know how airports work... Even though its sunny and awesome outside a magical weather occasion will delays you guys for like nine hours

Trevor, hopefully you have the windows down!

Nope windows up and locked with heat blasting

Shaun, since you mention Radar as one of your top 5 places to ride, just curious if you get to ride it still?

Trevor, I hate to tell you, but you are in for the worst car ride of your life! The traffic heading north at this time of day can take you two hours to go about 40miles.

Good luck up north to everyone, I'm heading east to Lake Roosevelt to swelter in the triple digit temps!

Well everyone we are about to head to the gate...couple burgers, fries and we are off to Kelowna. Since we are staying together maybe we will keep this post going. Check in later tonight. Dave you should have a wakeworld.com tent at the pro tour stops for us to chime in from time to time.

Shaun and Trevor--

What up boys?! Good luck to the both of you. Me and Chuck say hey, and give ups to Jeff, Travis, and Kyle Rattray.

Come see us in CA!!

Shaun
Tell Ruck to get off his ass and get himself registered for Wakestock.

Cheers
Adam

Oh yeah, kick Rattray in the butt for me. He's been slackin as well.

Good luck to everyone. See you guys in a couple weeks for the Portland stop.

Trevor: Can't wait to get my hands on a new Marius. What sets it apart from the 2007 model?

Lamos and Shaun: Have a good flight. See you guys in Portland.

Randy: Not making the driver up north? Is Alex going to be at Round Butte for the Northwest Riders Clinic the end of this month.

What up Spencer, taking a break this weekend, Alex went with his sister and Robby Carter. He wants to come hang out with the northwest riders crew but has a chance to coach down in Cali and make a little money, well see...

Randy: Does he coach out at Shasta?

Hey Shaun hope you start one of these for Wakestock in Toronto as im a big fan, but for some reason last year i completely missed your pass, i was try to hit on the redbull girls. So i think that sort of gets me off the hook. Anyways hope to see you riding here at the other side of Canada. Jason

Good luck on the wave rampies this weekend!!



Grab the board!

In the lobby at the hotel and using their computer now. we don't start riding until 1:30 today, so we have some time to kill.
Rich, I will be in texas next weekend for a family reunion, the wife's side.
Robyn, haven't seen alpha dog but kerri did and she said it wasn't too good.
Rental car blew a fuse this morning. we couldn't get the windows to go down, found the fuse and then ryan realized the alternator wasn't spinning from the belt every so often. going back to the rental place to exchange.
got one of the first runs of my new board the other day. holy guacamole is it light?!!!
that wasn't a question, but a statement.
new boots have the option to be stiff or softer in the flex. just have to wait and see.

Murray Pumps!??!!?

Shaun,
im supposed to be going to The Wakeboard Camp sometime soon. any chance you could stop by and let me see you ride? that would be killer.

I miss the Kelowna stop. Always a bunch of fun. Have a good set today Shaun. Don't gamble.

Hahn

I only read the top few posts and stopped at a mentioning of the standerd (sorry bros, but I'm on my way for some fresh egg rolls so my time is limited). My copy just arrived this morning and it was a blast to flip through. it was even better than the first...so obviously these guys are all about pushing for something better.

But I think the most relevant bit is the fact that shaun was the was the subject of the second issue's "profile" column. I just want to say that I thorougly enjoyed reading it and the pictures were a blast and gave a nice peek into the past (both shaun's and wakeboarding's). I remember seeing some of that stuff on TV, so to get a different angle of the action and a memory or two behind it is very cool. A few of those pictures are nice and you can feel the emotion, and if you have a memory associated with it...well, it resonates in your soul. (is that too emotional? WHATEVER!)

Direct addresses are strange to me, but nice work on your profile, shaun. Seeing and reading about history like that is always a treat, and is most definitely treasured.

Anyway, heck yes, good luck to everyone in kelowna.

Yea, Alpha Dog is not a feel good movie for sure but we all thought it was a pretty well acted and directed movie. (even J.T.did a pretty good job)Also based on a true story.

Hey Shaun, say Hi to Jeff Heer for me while you are there, You might actually find him in his tent working, nah doubt it, only tent he will be in will be the liquid, "beer", tent! Kick his butt and send him east as he is comin to visit us Albertans next week!
Hope you have a great ride and weekend here in Canada!

the standerd quarterly does rock! I got a complimentary copy from sidewayz when I ordered a bunch of vids for the shop. I have flipped through this publication over and over and everytime find something new. I will def. be a longtime subscriber. it really portrays the sport in a way that I like to see it.

Jeff Heer...Now that's a name from the past!

Hahn, I didn't gamble in the casino, but did on the water. I took a bummer of a fall yesterday. For those of you who don't know, Kelowna has the craziest conditions. The contest is on a huge lake with rollers that make it hard to just stand behind the boat. Add in some strong wind and it's go time. The starting dock is at the beginning of the course, so the boat gets going straight and as soon as it is up to speed, you start. First trick is somewhat decent, land and go into the flat bar, then then funbox, then it's a gamble if you hit the wake when a roller stacks on top of it to give you the double up, rather than the double down. Boat turns around while you do your best just to hang on right behind the boat. Two wake tricks, most likely stock and then the funbox, flat bar, and then I had time to get two tricks in at the end, which were the important ones because of the only good water at the end. The boat shuts down as it gets super close to the dock, you need to keep things going to get two tricks in at the finish. So I came off the flatbar and cut in to do a raley backside 180(raley to blind) from 5 feet out cause i wanted to get a crow 5 in before the boat shut down. Bad move. Should have taken the time to cut out and risk getting one trick. fell...woops.
No worries. heading back home late tonight on the red eye, shooting tues and wed to get some final shots for Detention The DoOver. shameless plug, but thought you might want to know.
Will be in Texas on Granbury next weekend and Portland is the next stop.
P.S.
did I mention the event is completely sold out at 35$ a pop. crazy amounts of people here. thousands.

shaun, when will the new detention be coming out?

Shaun- Sorry to hear you went down on the raley to blind. Good luck in Portland though.

Shaun....did you ride your new board in the contest? I gottsta know about your new board bro! Gerry is coming up to my place latter this month...26th and 27th to do a private clinic....totally geeked. Booked solid both days. Might have to have you both come up next year like the BYT....I had to turn a lot of riders away and a thrid day was outta the question for scheduling.

Damn it. I missed the prepro tour sean murray thread again. Oh yeah I was at the lake riding. Oh well.
