Hey all, hope you're all doing good!
2010 Winter has been a little longer than expected, however I did just get back from the first event of the season.
It was the first stop of the WWA world series and it was in Abu Dhabi. There was actually a lot of riders from all over the world competing for 10,000 usd. It was a great event to kick off the season, congrats to Harley Clifford for taking the win behind the boat and JD Webb for his win on the rail jam. It was really nice to get away and into some warm weather for a once, thanks to the WWA and everyone who put on such a great event!

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.

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.

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!
Adam
