BRAD SMEELE – Starting the Journey home.
August 28, 2010 by Brad Smeele (Wakeboarder)
So after only 3 months I have departed Orlando… I am a bit torn about it to be honest.. I am happy to be going home to get my shoulder sorted out and also to see my friends and family, but I am also really gutted to be leaving Orlando so soon. Here is the last sunset Lake Holden had to offer before I left.
Now I am making my way up to San Antonio, Texas, to do some final filming for ‘In-Transit’. The plan is to meet up with local rider Gabe Lucas to hit up some winch spots and possibly build a rail to session. From there we will head up to the Dallas, Ft Worth area to meet up with Alex Brown, Joey Bradley and the rest of the iwake.com crew to do some boat riding. I have gone over most of the footage that Carnie has of me and I will be focusing on hitting a few ‘Bangers’ to complete my section.
The Trip is already off to a ripping start… Due to unfortunate events Chris’O and Carnie both missed their flight up to San Antonio so I was stuck waiting for them at the airport until their new arrival time 6 hours later. Then we find out that their next flight is canceled leaving me stranded at the Airport without much of a plan.. Here is the little spot I made into my temporary home..
Finally after about 6 hours of waiting I managed to get hold of Gabe who ended up picking me up and giving me a place to crash.. Stoked!
And this is the view I woke up to..
Today I will be heading down to Corpus Christi for the ‘Obscura’ Wakeskate movie premier. We will be rolling down there with a bit of a crew including Myself, Gabe Lucas, Aaron Reed and a few more. Looking forward to a good night!
After 8 days in Texas I will be heading up to LA to catch up with a few friends for about 4 days and then I will be headed home to NZ!!
Stay tuned for more on our In-Transit Texas trip..
