WCU demo day and hometown throwdown

This past saturday was the western carolina university demo day and the hometown throwdown for the nantahala region. myself and sam fulbright brought the fleet of bliss stick playboats for demoing. justin keleberg did a fantastic job organizing this event and i believe it was the most attended demo day to date. bliss stick, pyrahana, jackson and wavesport were represented well.

the hometown throwdown was set up in teams of 3. each member has 2 rides and the scores are taken from the best ride, then added up with the rest of the team. my team consisted of tommy yon and shannon christy. who won? we did!!

this was an awesome event and everyone had such a good time. it really made me happy to be part or such a great sport.
