Last weekend was the first stop of the US Pro wakeboard tour in Acworth Georgia. We'd been the Acworth for a couple years, and i'd never thought of it as much of a fun stop. The new format definitely changed my perspective of it all, and it ended up being a great time. This year's format is qualifiers on friday, and saturday has quarters, semis, finals, and then double up and kicker contest. Saturday ends with a big party and live music well into the evening. In the past, we had to ride sunday as well, which killed the saturday night partying, but no longer! Some of the notable highlights of the weekend were Harley's final run, and Rusty's 1080 in the double up contest. First of all, Harley's finals run was the craziest run ever put together on a wakeboard. It included four mobe 5's, a 7, and a 9! He's years ahead of the competition, its pretty unbelievable. Then, on Rusty's first hit in the double up contest, he straight stomps a toe 10! It was the first one i'd ever seen in person, so was pretty stoked to witness it. Also, my good friend Austin Hair made his first final, and ended the contest in 5th place. I'm definitely stoked for him! I was riding awesome in the contest, even had the best run of my life on friday, but couldn't put it together on Saturday. Ended the weekend in 17th, meaning I have to go through the qualifying in Texas again. Luckily, I have two weeks home to work on my run and hopefully come into texas with some more heat.
