Triple Crown & WWA Worlds first stop, Winnipeg

Had a great time in London and this morning bouncing to Winnipeg for the first stop of the Triple Crown/WWA Worlds.  Had a great time at JB Ski, Liquid Leisure, not to mention the Demo Riding at Box end.    Will be back in England at the end of July, after the Winnipeg stop, and then 3 weeks in Orlando.

Cannot wait to hook up with everyone at the comp, and for me will be my first time in North America and I will be hooking up with Lior Sofar, the moment I arrive in Canada.

LONDON

Spent the weekend with my Grandparents in Newcastle and will bounce to London tomorrow evening to hook up with Freddie Carter and the other riders around Thorpe, Liquid Leisure and Box End.  Will be shredding in London until Sunday, then Monday 4th off to Winnipeg for the worlds.

On Friday from 3.00 - 7.00 pm I will be at Box End to help out with Coaching and do also some Demo Riding.  Box End is a sick cable, I was there in 2009 straight after Wakestock and love the set up, especially for wakeskating.

Last time I was at Box End, was for the British Nationals (2010), cannot wait to go back.

Wake the Line

Super Stoked, took 1st Place in Pro - Wakeskate for Wake the Line.  For Wakeboard i was head to head against Shaun Watson again and he took me out.   A great comp, more photo's and video's to follow.

Germany Trip Day 2

Just arrived in Germany and super stoked to be here, preparing for ONeil Wake the Line.  Will be riding for a couple of Days and Langenfeld Cable, before testing on Friday and the comp of Saturday.   A special thanks to the organizers of Wake the Line, as well as the Thailand mobile phone provider, TRUE MOVE forsupporting Tuti to come over for some sick filming.  We will be doing a video blog every day, which will be posted on facebook.

Asian Wakepark tour Ranking 2011.

Below is the Asian Wakepark tour Ranking for Open Men, Wakeboard and Wakeskate.

The 2nd stop in Singapore is now postponed until October, with the final stop in Philippines planned for November, so both stops will be after the summer events in Europe and U.S.A.

Tour De France

On the way to France for Wake & Beach, then Wake & Country, two weekends in the South of France, one 2.0 and one cable contest.

 

Will be great to see everyone in Europe again, as well as some U.S. riders Marc Shuster, Nath Pery.    After 2 weeks in France, will be back in Thailand and then back to Europe again middle of June.

Thanks to Rip Curl for supporting me with a new contract this summer and providing me with a load of sick new clothes for Europe.    Hope the weather is good, cannot wait to meet up with Frenchie, Bobo and the everyone at the comp.

Ski 360 - Singpore

I Hit Ski 360 in Singpore on the way back from Bali and rode for an hour rather than Sitting at the airport waiting for the connecting flight.   Singapore is for me the best airport, with free internet, free sweets at immigration (both in and out :) ), so with a 2 1/2 hour wait in transit, I could shred for an hour at the local cable.

David Ngiam sorted me out with some equipment, a bigger board than usual, but could still have some fun, below is a short video of my riding.

Rip Curl, Bali HQ

The last 3 days were spent at Rip Curl Asian Head office in Bali.    Super stoked to sign a new 3 year contract with Rip Curl, my first major sponsor.    The new products coming out by Rip Curl are sick, especially the board short styles and with a new sick range of shades.

The last two days were full of action.

Day 1, contract discussions, shopping, photo shoots, then got some surfing lessons, and then I bunjee jumped from 50 metres wearing a wakeboard, there should be some sick photo's coming out from this.

Day 2, The Rip Curl school of surf built in one day, an old school kicker and I done some demo riding behind boat, as well as some photo shooting.

We stayed at the awsome Ripcul Villa, overlooking one of the best surf spots in the world.   Love the place, the people the food and cannot wait to come back soon!

A big thanks to James, Yudha and Johnny who made my crazy wakeboard bunjee jump possible.  He has people on fire and on motorbikes doing bunjee jumps and was behind the kicker building.  I am sure he will add his own style to Indo Wakeboarding, the Rip Curl start to back the development of the sport around Bali.

Ultimate Wake Championship, CWC - Worlds

Super Stoked, took 3 podium positions at the Ultimate Wake Championship.

Open Wakeboard, 1st Place (2nd Tom Fooshe, 3rd Domnick Ghurs)
Open Wakeskate, 3rd Place (1st Reed Hansen, 2nd Nick Taylor)

Doing some riding this morning on my last day at CWC, thanks to CWC, Republic and the Guv for looking after me during my stay.   Now ready to shred again at TWP tomorrow.

Rip Curl - Wakeboard Team

I am proud since 2 years now to be representing Rip Curl and be part of the Rip Curl wakeboard team. Their products are just getting better and better, and without their support, It would not have been possible for me to take part in so many competitions.

Ripcurl are now featuring more and more their interest and support in wakeboarding/wakeskating and have created already a blog section, where I am featured, which can be found at http://www.asia.ripcurl.com/?asiawake-danielgrant

I heard they will also start to print some graphics at their shops in Asia with their riders. Cool Beans !
