Taking a short break from the series of articles on wakesurf board design with this post. It’s funny, I get some nasty comments on the blog from certain folks that I mostly delete. I’m glad that the competitors aren’t the same haters that the corporate Jerk-O’s or the star struck fans are, or Chase would be SOL in Oroville.
Long story short: the folks at Wakeshredder.com are towing back from the Washington contest, filming along the way, Chase is trekking along with them. At the Shasta stop, Chase went to do a huge ocean style air reverse and his foot slipped off his board, giving him a nasty cut on his shin and also breaking his wakesurf board. This is the picture from Sean of Wake Shredder.
Chase needed some help and trying to find epoxy and 6 oz up in no man’s land, without a car or transportation is pretty tough, so he gave me a call, knowing that my dad and I have a ton of stuff for just such work. Chase and I compete hard against each other, but neither FlyBoy Wakesurf nor I want to see Chase or Shred Stixx participation in the filming or podcasts reduced, so…
My dad packed up a care package so that I can help Chase fix his board, at least long enough to complete the filming and road trip. The sport is big enough for all pro riders and we don’t have personal differences, nor would we want to see anyone lose riding time so that some shameless corporate type could make another buck.
We’re on it for Chase or anyone that rides at this level and will always be there to support a brother in need. The care package I took to make sure that Chase was riding today for the filming. Sandpaper, two different epoxies, 6 oz e-glass, mixing stick and bucket, scissors…everything needed to get a board back into action!
Be sure to look for Chase and myself in the upcoming video footage by both Wake9 and Wake Shredder…and if you’re one of those hater folks, just shut up, this sport doesn’t need you.
Back from Oroville and my 5 min epoxy didn’t hold through the day, but luckily Chase had some suncure that he sealed up the patch with. The new Tige had an exceptionally steep wake, not good for surface tricks, but killer for airs. As Robert was saying, we were catching “yards” and the boat indicated we were boosting 3 feet up. I’m looking forward to the video and pictures.

I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)

Thanks for your posting. I also think that laptop computers are becoming more and more popular today, and now are usually the only type of computer included in a household. This is due to the fact that at the same time potentially they are becoming more and more cost-effective, their working power is growing to the point where they can be as powerful as personal computers from just a few in years past.

The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
