Canada Summer 09 Trip of pure awesomeness

Mid-august saw me up in Canada for adventures after adventures. I headed up to Camp Biesenthal for a day, then we headed off to Collingwood for the first day of Wakestock to see good old buddy Erik Biesenthal ride. He shredded up his heat, and came in 4th overall in intermediate. Then it was off to Blue Mountain on Saturday to get some DH biking in. Wow! So intense. After being shaken to death and getting in a wedding photo, it was back off to Camp Biesenthal to work on their cottage and shenaningness and a lot of hammock time. The following weekend was the water circus. Tandem wakeboard, tandem 2 ski, tandem slalom ski, tandem wakesurfing, 7 person ski sesh, airchairs, etc. Fun times are always had up at Lake Papineau and was definitely a great way to start winding down for the summer. Next stop...Orlando for Surf Expo 09. Pics soon to come...
