Shasta Trip (video)

I just spent 8 days at beautiful Lake Shasta, Ca.

My family goes there every year and its always fun. This year the water was super low and we had to travel 20 minutes+ to get out of the no ski zone and it was unusually windy. I caught a couple breaks and found glass and made the most of it. I focused a lot on w2w and I am really much more confident with it, but i still case the wake on toeside Evil or Very Mad

I wish I had my w2w sets filmed, but oh well.

Only two sets were filmed and here is some of that.
People always hate when I put punk or hardcore in my videos so here is something more wakeskater friendly Smash

edit: I forgot to add that my dad finally tried wakeskating. he loves it. he already has way more fun doing it then wakeboarding. he has surface bs 3s on lock! but then the second to last day he did the splits and pulled his hamstring bad. im so glad it wasnt his knee.
and since he wakeskated he made me try single skiing. the only time i had ever water skiied was this past november to try out the wake skis with some guys that i work with. anyways, i got up third try and wow is it awkward. my hips were killing me being all twisted up. i rode for a minute and then threw the handle. i never want to do that again. haha

thanks guys.

I totally forgot about this. Right by camp there was this closed down gas station and its logo looks very familiar. It even has the 3 slashes.
