Hey I got to ride with Amber Wing and Barrett Perlman this weekend and they were tellin me all bout the Wakeboard Camp in Florida. It sounds so fun and wish I could go sometime. But college softball takes us a lot of time. Just wondering if anyone has been to one and if it's as fun as they say it is.

Thanks!
Jamie

Where did you ride?

I went to florida for a grad present and went to the projects with Pat Panakos, then Ride the Spot with Darin Shapiro and Jon Nadalski. I went back to the projects because I had so much fun there.
Camps are really chill, but you progress really fast because there is absolutely nothing holding you back and the coaches are really helpful.
If I could go back to FL, I would definitely hit up the boarding school with Murray. He is an awesome guy and a lot of fun!!
I definitely won't forget my camp experience

The Boarding School with Travis, Murray and Kyle sounds like a lot of fun, but I have no personal experience there.

I was at O'Town about 2 months ago, and I had an awesome time. Glen is the best wakeboard coach out there. Look it up, it's worth it.

O'Town Watersports, Glen Fletcher, Brad and the other coaches and staff, the best,

Agreed... Sean O'Brien is one of the coolest guys in the sport. I have never been coached by him or attented his camp, but I have hung out with him a couple times and with time permitting, I would have LOVED to go for a ride with him.
