This was my first year participating in smackdown.  I luckily got to bum a ride off a great guy vince(who placed first in the beginner division) to get down to the competition.  I reluctantly entered the accomplished division, ablility to cartwheel occationally, I thought i had a decent chance.  Then 3 guys came cartwheeling down to the wave from 20 feet upstream and my dreams sank.  Oh well, life's not fair, what can you do.  I had an awsome time, i met so many boaters that i never knew existed and everyone was just so friendly.  I also met 2 people who boat around my age, Cindy and Liam, a big surprise, if you guys read this site, call me up some time to go boating!  Anyhow, enough chit chat, here are the pictures.

here's the group of folks that participated

just people, never seen so many boaters before, my virgin eyes!

the seal lauch was probally 15' high sliding down an embankment, unfortunately no style points for this

now if this doesn't get you style points, nothing will
