1. Remote Board
Getting my first real pro model board with a company that I couldn’t be more stoked on was a great way to start 2011 for me. I was really pumped on the graphic and had a great time filming my going pro commercial. First day I rode it I got my ender trick in More then Machines. I love that board!

2. Anenberg Apocalyptic Tour
This was the ultimate winch trip. We started in Orlando and winched our way out to California and back stopping everywhere in between. We winched everyday for 32 days straight hitting a new spot just about everyday. I made this journey with the whole Anenberg crew, Ben Horan and Roland Lugo. I had such a great time on this trip! Check out the video!

3. RETENTION
I think if you ask any wakeskater this question they will say Retention. This was the most fun contest I have ever been to. I got to camp out at Ben’s house for about two weeks or so you kinda loose track of time out there. It was so awesome to shred and party with everyone that came out. It was also really cool to see all the new wakeskaters that are absolutely killing it.

4. Toe Jam
Toe Jam is always a great time I look forward to it every year. It’s was great to see everyone from Retention again in one place wakeskating together. This year was the first time I made it threw the first round in a long time. I got to ride in the winch finals with all my best friends and session the pool gap. Still so stoked I won the winch contest, the after party that was epic.

5. Remote Road Trip
The Remote road trip was so much fun we had the whole team plus Tad Matthews and Garett Cortese in Silas new van for a week. We started in Orlando then winched our way up to Woodward in Pennsylvania where we had the whole place petty much all to our selves to skate as much as we wanted. We got to hit some new spots on the east coast. Riding around checking spots and shredding them with your good buddies is always a great time.
