Wakeskating.com is trying to help spread the word about a ladies clinc in DFW with Stef Tor. Just in case you don't check the front page too often, here's a link to some more info.

For all the gals out there, Stef was in WI for a maven session this past june, so I can definitely say that you'll have a great time and feel the positive vibes. And straight up, she'll work hard to help you learn what you want. There were two girls who had never gotten up on a wakeboard (at my clinic) and she and the other stef made sure they got up and rode for a bit before they hopped back in the boat.

nice post, gnarly. I mean really.

Jeff, I'd be down there in a heartbeat, for sure. For that maven thing I drove like 3.5 hours one way...luckily my brother lives in that area, so I had a place to layover. And stef is a fun person so it would be a good time on the boat, for sure.

electricsnow, thanks for posting this and thanks to WS.com for their support. You mentioned how far you drove for the Maven clinic...I'd do the same. There is one girl potentially coming from IL for this, which is way too cool.

Stef is really excited about this. We now have 17 riders booked for this event.

Saturday: 2 spots remaining
Sunday: 7 spots remaining

I encourage everyone that may be on the fence to book now. We are 2 weeks out from the event...we loved to get this thing sold out for Stef!!!

Contact me if you have any questions and thanks for helping make this event successful!

amazing. that girl from illinois is owning me (or potentially so). You should never have said that. Laughing

Seriously though, I used to drive all over the state for the wakeboarding bus tours (and sometimes little comps), so when those kind of faded away (including the LFTAA) I was kind of bummed. So to have the maven sessions in WI at all was cool and there was no way I'd miss it. And it just so happened to work out that it was the week right after nationals, so that worked out perfectly.

Anyway, good luck with your event! It's just cool that you organized something like this.

(ahem) pwnd.

Nice work!!

hahaha!!!

Man, I wish I was at a cabin!!! We would go to Spooner, WI with our neighbors to their cabin...I love it there this time of year!

yes, spooner. I've been there on a visit, but I didn't actually ride or anything. It's very beautiful up there, for sure. I just think the northwoods of wisconsin is beautiful, especially the drive from Minneapolis to our cabin (which is just south of hurley), so you go through the Chequamegon national forest and it's insanely beautiful.

Anyway, we're like north east from there (spooner)--just south of hurley, or north of mercer (which are two small ass towns, so it's not like it matters anyway). I love it up there. Nobody rides on my lake...nobody even owns a wakeboard. If anybody rides, they slalom ski or ride kneeboards from like 1990. But one guy has an airplane. It's cool. Here's a sunset 'sette...We had some beauts on our week vacay at the beginning of august and I dig sunsets...they remind me of the good days in the middle of winter when it's dark at 5 pm (and in general, is all around sucky). Plus I really love the profile of the cassette bi-level. These shots seem cliche at this point, but I love them anyway.

but the subject is about your clinic, and I'm good at inadvertently de-railing things. So forget I even said this. Shocked

man, who cares about derailing that bi-level AND sunset are beAUUUUTiful!!!

I miss MN... Crying or Very sad
