Wakeboarding With Oakley’s Amber & Nicola

I got the chance to go wakeboarding with Oakley rider’s Amber Wing and Nicola Butler this week at Carlsbad Lagoon in California.
Lani Doherty (surfer), Amber (wakeboarding) and I in the Liquid Force Supra.
Amber getting ready.
Slashing on 6 am water at the Lagoon.
Lani riding on a wake-board boat for the first time in her life. She was kind of scared of the water-spray.
Amber laying it down early.
Amber is the only girl to have landed a 900 before.
Amber grabbing big.
Nicola actually forgot her swim-suit so she did not get a chance to ride.
She’s stoked after that ride.
Then it was my turn.
I borrowed Nicola’s board and life-jacket and she drove me. I forgot to tell you that when we first got to the Lagoon our Oakley truck was lifted too high that we could not get the boat trailer connected. So with a little wakeboarder girl experience we built a lift and got it on.

Kaya took some great shots all day. Thanks girl!

And she nails it no problem. This girl is amazing behind the boat and in the Ocean.
The Oceanside Pier.
