The very first Island Life took place last October 2009, when Loch Lomond Wakeboard teamed up with Alliance Wakeboard and Yamaha, camping out on a group of islands known as The Narrows. The event kicked off on Friday night, going on until Sunday evening with a few people staying on even longer at Inverbeg Holiday park.
We had 25 people showing up to help out or ride, plus another 10 friends arriving with their own wakeboard boat for a day visit, including the photographer Chris James.
Raymondo was on hand to make everyone steak BBQs as well as doing a lot of the wakeboard coaching, while Tim Woodhead, Scottish Stu and Dave Knightcoached wake and skate, and set up camp. The girls Sez, Sammi, Mia and Shona were busy wakeboarding, skating and drinking Smirnoff Ice.
The Loch looked beautiful – not a breath of wind or mist. The boat took a group out riding, the Yamaha WaveRunners took some people out for a wakeskate and the winches got fired up. For the next couple of days, we all rotated between the three activities, with the occasional pit stop for ‘refreshments’.
Everyone was loving the winch park and learning something new on the incline rail, and LLWB’s Monkey Wench was in non-stop action all weekend doing us all proud!
