i went over to shauns house the other day to stop in and say hey. i got to hang with his horse and listen in on a conversation he had with a telemarketer. im sure most you people out there hate telemarketers, but shaun found a way to make telemarketers hate their job even more. or maybe not “hate their job”, because shaun murray is just about the nicest guy anyone will meet wether it be on the phone or in person, so i guess he probably made this ladys day.
the boys and girls over at wakesports had me out this weekend for a clinic/demo. liquid force flew me out for the halloween ride thing that actually never really had a name. it was a lot of fun and a lot of people decided to join in with the whole vibe. here are some photos of this past weekend.
wakesports in carlsbad, ca.
the participants:
this guy was one scary dude. hahaha nice costume Conor.
this guy dressed up as oakleys #1 fan……… oh wait. he actually is oakleys #1 fan. that tat is real and he wore NOTHING but oakley, head to toe! this guys is awesome.
and then there was captain america. the ONLY board strong enough to with stand a beating from captain america is the new 2009 LYMAN 143 from liquid force.
rescuing damsels in distress is what captain america is all about.
jason mendez and his bad ass ride that he re-built himself! impressive!
this was just brought to my attention yesterday. http://www.alliancewake.com/article_details.php?id=4187
dear emma,
i first off would like to say how very much i love you and how i apologize for any feelings of yours that i have hurt. this has come to me as a complete shock and i am left in a whirl wind of confusion as to why this has come about the way it did.
we have been together now for 4 years 3 months and 21 days. i do admit that i travel quite frequently as this is due to my job however you knew what you were getting yourself into when you decided to steal my heart and hold it for ransom when i first met you at petland. i thought we had a good……no, GREAT thing going. i have brought you to many different destinations where as most peoples dogs dont get to go and are left at dog kennels. i have always found you THE BEST dog sitters and have left you with nothing but love and the knowledge as to when i would be back.
how is it that i find out all of this stuff via alliancewake.com?!?!?! do you not have the audacity to contact me directly? i want you to know how disrespectful and tasteless that was! to announce to the world via one of my industries websites that we apparently are having relationship issues that, until now, i had no idea of. and to post those pictures was the greatest sin of all. how dare you do this to me while i am away on business and without contacting me directly! i only travel to bring home the “milk bones” if you will. or the “rawhides” if i may. to be more blunt, my job requires me to travel to make personal apperances which in return creates a wider fan base with the hopes that they (the fans/new fans) will learn about the companies that i ride for and how bad ass they are and the reasons why they need to ride or wear what i wear, and therefore creates more money for myself which ultimately creates a bigger and better life for you! everything i do is for you and you know that! further, you know DAMN well how i feel about pro hoes! you have helped me thru 2 defunct relationships due to me getting my heart broken by pro hoes! HOW DARE YOU DO THIS TO ME! it is one thing to actually go behind my back and be pet by other pro riders! but to actually post them for the whole world to see!!!!!!! WTF!!! that is unbelievable! and to be doing this with some of my closest friend! benny g, shawn watson, jeff mckee, josh mcwilliams!!!! are you kidding me!? i can not even believe what i saw yesterday! it left me cold and mad!…………………YOU HAVE CHANGED! as well as my friends apparently.
you know that i dont have a boat sponsor and to state that you feel more comfortable on a nautique really angers me! you know i bought my boat with my own money which you have once again reaped most of the benefits from, sunbathing and meeting other fun and interesting people on it. if i could get sponsored by them or ANY other boat company you know i would! and skull candy!? how did you land something with them before me!?!?!?! i am both jealous and frustrated!
i really am sorry that you feel this way emma, and i want you to know how much i love you and how i am willing to make a concerted effort to fix things with our relationship, if you are willing. i am EXTREMELY forgiving and although those images may haunt my dreams forever i will do my best to try and forget them so that we may start again. i will leave you with pictures of better times.
you love traveling in my truck. i got the one with the finest leather for you paws.
i would take pictures of you while you were asleep to show my friends how cute you are.
one of your many spots on my boat. you never used to complain.
with daddy.
i took you to the north east trip with alliance.
we are perfect together.
you love my mom.
you stood by me, as i you, thru exhausting travels.
you ued to come to me to be rescued from caden.
i let you into my world and you met so many of my closest friends. jim is the only one i can trust now.
i used to think this photo was cute. ben was tickling you, and i had all the trust in the world for you 2. but apparently i shouldn’t have.
i want my “competition” to be VERY informed right now. i am a damn good shot! and not just with a gun……………….i will be home sometime this week……………….. let your imagination run wild…………..
in case anyone does not know what is going on. you must go to the link at the top of the page. or visit www.allaincewake.com and read the “dear keith lyman” article………… this is a big funny haha….. not serious.
i am currently out in carlsbad, ca. hanging at my buddies house josh cantors house. we have a clinic at wakesports at the carlsbad lagoon today. if any of you californians arent doing anything today, or even if you are, drop everything and head to wakesports and come ride and hang out for the day. it is a halloween clinic so bring your costumes.
i flew in on wednesday and have been running around like carzy so far. i flew in and headed out foothill ranch, to oakley to meet up with my team manager matty swanson and close friend and producer of the push process, justin stephens. we all talked business for a little and then i headed south to encinitas to kick it with liquid force and stopped in to say a quick “what up” to alliance wakeboarding mag. the next day, friday, i headed into L.A. to film for fuels tv’s daily habit show that will be airing on fuel on halloween day. which brings us to today and the clinic at wakesports.
here are some photos from my trip so far.

i totally forgot about this trip to cedar key, fl. back in the day. we traveled up there with benny g and the alliance crew for bens rider of the year interview and for pull on fuel tv. check it out.Â
alright boys and girls. my boat is officially up for sale. her asking price is $49,500. if you are interested and want to check her out please visit www.onlyinboards.com . there will be more photos to come.   Â
so if you were wondering what pro wakeboarders do with their time when it is off season…………. here it is. a lot of i chatting…………………. sometimes i chatting gets a little weird.
