Loch Stock – Stop 1

25 / 06 / 2010

The Scottish tour got underway last weekend at the stunning waterside Loch View Motel in Dumfrieshire. Two days of constant sunshine provided wetsuitless riding, with pro coaching on Saturday from Liquid Force shredder and all round nice guy Kurt Graham.

Sunday saw sore heads all round following yet another epic Loch Stock party with some riders struggling to find their game face! One rider who did however was Loch Lomond Wakeboard’s Raymond Colhooluhan, who made an unexpected appearance in his favourite orange ski mask throwing a huge in-out fashion airs. Fortunately the organisers and boat crew were also on their game and ensured the awesome Mastercraft X2 (with graphics that wouldn’t look out of place on an AC/DC album) left the dock on time all day long.

The day ended with a sun drenched and packed out prizegiving with prizes from Phitt Clothing, Kezvegas Headwear, and of course a weekend’s wakeboarding at Xtreme Gene in Spain. The standard of riding just in this first event was through the roof compared to this time last year, and this season looks set for big things!

Every stop sees new friends join the Loch Stock community from new riders joining the party to new sponsors showing their support - next tour stop Loch Stock will be welcoming Fox Clothing aboard. They’ll be providing some top prizes and their splendid products are now available in Mayles Watersports in Balloch.
