Ride for Relief- Support Haiti

With over 200,000 people dead, another 1.2 million homeless, and Port-au-Prince in ruins, Haitians are suffering in ways that we can’t fathom. Personally, I feel a strong moral obligation to help these people who literally have lost everything except maybe hope. With the wakeboard industry being such a tightly knit and privileged community composed of companies, riders, families, and fans, I feel like it is time for us to come together and provide some relief to the suffering occurring in Haiti. Of course there are ways for us to help those in need and still have a great time while doing it.


With that being said, OWC will be open to everybody from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. on February 20th. You all can come out and ride the cable, hang out with the pros, enjoy some music, and help us raise money for a worthy cause. Make sure you bring everyone you know. The more people the better.

For those of you who are 21 and up, there will also be an after party downtown at “The Other Bar” on Wall Street. With Ryan Davis and Kevin Little from Step Up Productions hosting the party and Bong Vodka contributing to the festivities, this will be an evening that you won’t want to miss.

100% of the money that is raised will go towards disaster relief in Haiti. To make this fundraiser successful, we are asking for a minimum donation of $20 per person for the entire evening. This will include your riding and entertainment at OWC as well as your opportunity to attend the after party at “The Other Bar” (assuming you are 21 and up). However, this will not cover your bar tab at the end of the night, but with Bong Vodka’s assistance it should be somewhat reduced.

I hope you all can make it.

(There are several other things that I'm working hard to organize for this event, so I will keep adding to this description as they come into fruition)
