Billabong Sisterhood Sessions

Last weekend was our second Billabong Sisterhood Sessions here at camp, and also our busyest weekend of the summer. With a record 24 girls showing up for the fun and festivities, we had all three boats loaded as well as a group at our sliderlake. Rotating throughout the weekend so that the girls could all have some time on the sliders and get some big air behind the nautiques. As always Billabong hooked everyone up with some goodies to represent, making sure no one went home empty handed. We will miss all of you, that is untill next year!

Rip Curl Grom Search



Rip Curl came to Basecamp this week for two days for the Rip Curl Grom Search. One lucky Grom had a chance to win a one year sponsorship from Rip Curl. Drew Hawkshaw along with Daniel Watkins came up with a load of swag to hand out, and to help pick out the one lucky Grom. After two days of some sick riding the decision was too close to call. They decided to give both Christian Primrose and Jordan Long a one year sponsorship from
Rip Curl. Congrats to both of you!

Wakestock


Wakestock has come and past, and once again we were there to see it through. Hopefully all of you stopped by the tent while you were there. If not, you missed out...
The weather in Collingwood
held out for the festivities, with the thunder only hitting Sunday morning shortly before passing over and turning into an awesome day. The Basecamp riders who were participating rode well overall. Justin Larue came just short of qualifying into pro, coming in 5th. Dary Znebel qualified into pro, throwing down a sick run but not enough to move on. On the podium was both Peitra Basijli and Lesslie Sparks, Peitra placing 3rd and Lesslie 2nd in the woman's pro division. In the intermediate division, two up and coming Basecamp riders Christian Primrose and Jordan Long placed 1st and 2nd. Keep up the good work and see you on the water.


Sattelyte Week




Last week here at Basecamp was Sattelyte wakeskate week. Visiting from the Sattelyte team was Jeff Engen and Tanner Champion to do a bit of coaching and riding. Also visiting was Dan Hughes from Red Button Creative to make a short video, look for it soon. Mid week Dan and the Sattelyte guys, along with Basecamps Scott Duke set up in the slider lake for a late night slider session and bonfire for the campers.

Fire Show!


Just when you're thinking that Basecamp has it all, we blow your mind with something new! Our accountant Eve Northmore is a woman of many talents, her newest one being Fire Dancing. Come to camp and you just might see a show...

Billabong Week a success!


Once again, another week is behind us. We had a full camp for our Billabong week, full of fun and excitement. Other than one sore ankle, everything went well, and even that didn't hold anyone back. Thanks to Billabong for all of the sweet schwag!
