Funny I write this as snow is falling outside my window, slowly collecting on the ground. As much as I love snow and wish winter was a year round season my subconscious seems to be yelling at me; ‘you idiot this winter crap goes against every evolutionary instinct of survival! its cold, food can’t grow, skin can grow pasty from lack of vitamin D…’
When you are out with friends, doing the sports and activities you love, enjoying nature, its all great. But I will admit that summer an wakesports does have a leg up in one respect; the heat.

Maybe i’ll have to move to the French Rivera where you could wake up in the mountains, lay fresh tracks in the snow, drive two or three hours and lay on the beaches in Nice.. but thats a budget and language away at this point.

I got to spend time on lake Shawnigan 3 times, each was a great time and a big learning curve for me to shoot. Any photographer would agree that shooting a sport or genre of photography that you don’t participate in is very difficult to do well. Wake sports are pretty new to me, so shooting it was probably one of the biggest genre challenges i have faced recently in photography.

I really hope my knee is in better shape next time I get in a boat. It has been a bit too ruined to ride, or risk re-injury. Although i still can’t complain, just riding along, and enjoying lake is great.

Ps. I really want to learn how to wakesurf
