On the 27th of July I headed out to the European’s in
Finland, Ukkohalla with the British Cable Wakeboard Team where I would also enter the CWWC tour stop.
The first day we went to the cable to check it out, the obstacles and the cable looked sick. Our accommodation were amazing log cabins which I shared with Nick Davies, James Young, CK, Freddy Carter, Connor Jones, Kerry Gospel, Will Mann’s and Ralph Young the Team Captain.
After no sleep at all due to there being no darkness in Finland I was told to get up at 7am for team training... good times lol. I got on well with the cable and was happy with my days riding.
On the friday I qualified 3rd in my group, taking me to the semi-finals which I was very happy with.
The next morning I was up nice and early again for the semi finals. I was first of the dock and landed my run which put me into top spot. I was sitting in 3rd position but knew I had to step up my game. Next run saw me landing the same as before but just going down on a back side 540, so I was not going thought to the finals.
The next day there was the CWWC (Cable Wakeboarding World Championships) tour stop where I came 4th. Shy of 3rd place by only 1 point. But I was still happy as I’d had a sick time and was looking forward to getting back to the UK.
I would just like to say a big thanks to all the British Team all my sponsors
Alpinestars,
Jobe,
Box End Park,
Trap 5 and
Justoffbase and also a big thanks to my mummy for making it all possible.
