I never made it to the podium my first year riding in Pro Women’s Wakeskate (2007). I only made it to finals one time, because I got really lucky and slid the whole flat bar 1st try. I used to do crazy things like one footed butter slides in my run. That year I was competing in wakeboarding too, that was my focus and the skating was just for laughs. I put the wakeboard down shortly after that and everything else escalated from there. This last weekend marks my 3rd World Champ title in a row…

Kiyoka came all the way from Japan to compete. Stoked to know girls are ripping all over the world! Congrats to all the girls that rode! My dad flew out for the weekend and we celebrated Sunday night with fireworks. Somehow the night ended in the kitchen, with the lights off, 3 flashlights and everyone going crazy of some serious bongo drumming. Like a full on indian tribe drum circle. Wild.

Thanks for the special trophy Brandon! Just another day at the FCTN headquarters…
