Extracurricular-Wake Surfing

IMG_0759

This is one of my favourite sports wake surfing.  Wake surfing is when you are surfing behind a boat with or without a rope.  If you are not using a rope then you have to push forward and backwards on the board to stay in the wake.  In this video I complete one of the hardest tricks, the 360 twice and then horribly fail the third one.  I first completed it in the summer of 2018 but this video is this past summer in 2019.  I was on Pitt River on my uncle’s boat for the last wake surf of the summer.  We had just got back from Osoyoos and my uncle invited my family to go on his boat just days before the summer ended.  It was so much fun!  I started wake surfing in Osoyoos in the summer of 2014, on my friends boat.  Later in 2015 my family eventually bought a boat and we started wake surfing every summer since then.  We wake surf on Osoyoos lake everyday when we are up there.  Spending time in  Osoyoos is so fun and I’m really looking forward to going again next summer.
