Hello everyone, hope you all had a great Christmas and new year!

I can't believe that 2010 is already here, I feel as if it will be mid summer before I know it.
Not much has really been going on here during the cold winter months, other than some abnormally cold weather in florida.
For the past week it has been freezing every night, with lows reaching the mid 20�s!
So for us florida boys there really hasn�t been much wakeboarding going on the past few weeks.

Wrapping up the season

First of all, I�d like to apologize for the lack of blog updates. Things have been crazy this season! It�s just starting to slow down and ease into the winter off-season, which is nice because this season has been my busiest yet. I have done tons of traveling, contests and demos. Regardless, I am not looking forward to the water cooling down.

It's Adam, here's my latest and greatest blog!

So, it's been quite some time since�I last wrote in. Let me just catch you up on what I've been up to.

During the winter months, Team Nike 6.0 decided to take the whole team (plus various photographers and videographers) to Camsur Watersports in the Philippines. We were there for almost 2 weeks filming and shooting photos. Despite the long flight, we all had an awesome time! It's really great to see the cable industry growing!

After the Philippines, I headed to New York with fellow Red Bull athlete Brian Grubb to compete in a celebrity soccer match. We played a mini game right before the main MLS game, it was pretty cool being down on the field in that huge stadium. Grubb and I got put on different teams. In the end, my team came out victorious with the winning goal assisted off my head.... hahaha I'm not kidding!

I flew home from NYC, and then headed west to the California Delta with my good friend Jimmy La Riche for a Fox photo shoot. I was there for three days shooting on the water and indoors for the upcoming Fox catalogue.

After our California trip, Jimmy and I headed straight to Tempe, Arizona for the 2nd Red Bull Wake Lab. Now if you didn�t see the first one, it was on Lake Eola in the middle of downtown Orlando at night. The 2nd stop was a daytime event combined with a big music festival. Red Bull definitely knows how to throw an event!

This time around, there were some new rails so everyone was dying to get out there and test them. All the top riders were there so the qualifying rounds were really intense. The finals came down to J.D. Webb, Parks Bonifay, Aaron Rathy and I. We all walked away with an award which was awesome!

Overall Winner - JD Webb
Most Progressive - Aaron Rathy
Best Trick - Adam Errington - backside lip slide, backside 270 out on the quarter pipe.
Best Line - Parks Bonifay - Switch board slide backside 450 to front board, 90 out on the M gap, backside lip slide over nose slide on the angled hubba ledge.

That�s all for now - Just at home getting ready for the Wake Games, which is at OWC this week!

Crazy how fast things come up.

See ya on the water!

Crazy Few Months!

So what�s up everyone?

Things have been really crazy over the past few months. I�ve been super busy with contests and photo shoots and more.
First of all I want to say congrats to Rusty for taking first at worlds, also Aaron Rathy who was a close second. I had a great time at worlds unfortunately I was a little burned out as it was the end of the year and didn�t do as well as I hoped. Not to worry there is always next year.

After worlds we were all getting ready for surf expo and Redbull�s wakelab. Surf expo went well I spent most of my time there in the Ronix booth, helping talk shop with all the dealers about our new line of boards. Things are looking great for 2009 and if you haven�t seen our new line of boards be sure to check out ronixwake.com for more info. Then came wakelab, an incredible truly awesome event put on by Redbull. I can�t express how glad I was to be apart of this event.� If you haven�t heard about it by now we basically built a floating skate park for wakeboarding, picked the top 15 wakeboarders in the world and had the biggest blow out rail jam/contest that has ever been done. Thank you so much to Redbull for supporting this because we truly changed the sport of wakeboarding and took it to a level that will help our spot grow and grow.

Now I can take a little break from the hectic life we as wakeboarders live, its coming into winter and much is slowing down. The water is cooling and the days spent on the lake are getting shorter. All I can say is grab a full suit or even a dry suit and spend as much time as possible doing what you love.

Hope you all have a great winter and I will be in touch soon.

As always
-Adam-
