A Duel in the Desert
Team Gubler Wakeboarding and Wake Utah held the Duel in the Desert wakeboard competition
on September 15th, at Last Chance Lakes, right outside of Vernon,
Utah. Crowds gathered around to watch riders of all ages and skill levels take the
water by storm.
Team IWS riders Ashlyn Beaman-Hernandez, Chance Bird and
Julie Robinson made the drive down to Utah with fellow BSU wakeboard club member
Matt DeGoede. Fans lined the shore and cheered on each competitor as they
showed off their best tricks in hopes of snagging a podium spot.
Matt was victorious in the intermediate division and landed
himself a first place trophy. Ashlyn’s huge backroll landed her third place in
the women’s division. Julie ranked second place right under Hyperlite Utah’s
rider Jenacee Jackson. Chance had a killer run landing two 540’s and a variety
of inverted tricks; unfortunately the open division brought in a group of
extremely talented riders and he fell just short of a podium spot.
Another team IWS rider, Shaun Henson, traveled to Red Bluff,
California to compete in the INT Western Regionals. Shaun had a killer run and
walked away with a first place trophy.
