Bret, Matt, Thomas, & Starrman …….
Keep us updated on the camps and how the riders are progressing throughout the summer.
Can’t wait to visit a camp session in Gig Harbor.
Sign up now folks…. because these camps will get booked out.

Funny I don’t see Hyperlite listed as a sponsor being that Starr rides for them.
June 20th, 2007 at 9:03 am
YES, Starrman does ride for Hyperlite, but they are not a sponsor of Northwest Wakeboard Camps.

Not sure where to post this but this seems to fit well, right here
…this brief comment, after spending a sweet day on lk. sammy with Matt & Thomas who co-hosted our company event… (the water part anyways) and ok I’m tired, but still stokin’ maybe ’slightly’ affected by the neck twizzle, face plant… after attempting to throw my lard-a** over the wake and perhaps blurred by a few cold ones in the sack too…
very professional and extremely patient guys - you guys kicked it and made the day incredible for all that were there!
thanks boys… to hopefully more.

Hi.
I would like to inquire about your schedules for this summer. My husband and I and probably my two brothers would like to take some private lessons from you guys. We have our own boat to use. We live in Shelton right by Mason Lake. That lake will be the easiest for us, since we work Mon-Fri. Would you be able to schedule a Saturday/Sunday or two with us on Mason Lake? However, we can not use the public launch at Mason Lake, is there another way to access the lake?
Thanks and look forward to working with you this summer. It will be awesome!
