Back in my old College Town... What can I say its always fun going back and seeing old friends!  I first have to give a bit thanks to Nanci Smith and Sarah Schlatter of Blue Turns Water Sports! I met Nanci after my last year of playing Basketball for the University of Oregon. I knew I wanted to get back into wakeboarding, and I was put in touch with Nanci though a friend knowing that she ran a ski and wakeboard school.  Ever since then I have stayed in contact with her and has become a good friend.  When she found out I became involved in WakeKite she was one of the first people that I contacted to try it, she immediately accepted the kite and is now offering lessons on the kite as part of her program.  

When coming down to Eugene this time, Nanci and Sarah were gracious enough to contact the local paper and TV news station to have them come out and do feature stories.  It was quite refreshing when the TV guys showed up and I knew him, he was the guy who did all of my interviews while playing ball! All-and-all I had a great time and all though the wind was whipping pretty good, we were able to make the best of it and allow them to get some good shots.  

Again Thank You Nanci and Sarah it is always a pleasure to come down and work with you both! 

If you are near the Eugene, OR area I highly recommend looking these guys up at www.blueturns.com for any type of water sports lessons! (including the kite!)
