Loch View Stop 1

June 24th, 2010 by Sammi

The Scottish tour got underway this weekend at the stunning waterside Loch View Motel in Dumfrieshire. Two days of constant sunshine provided wetsuitless riding, with pro coaching on Saturday from Liquid Force shredder and all round nice guy Kurt Graham.

Sunday saw sore heads all round following yet another epic Loch Stock party with some riders struggling to find their game face! Fortunately the organisers and boat crew were on their game and ensured the awesome Mastercraft X2 (with graphics that wouldn’t look out of place on an AC/DC album) left the dock on time all day long.

The day ended with a sun drenched and packed out prizegiving with prizes from Phitt Clothing, Kezvegas Headwear, and of course a weekend’s wakeboarding at Xtreme Gene in Spain. The standard of riding just in this first event was through the roof compared to this time last year, and this season looks set for big things!

Every Stop sees new friends join the Loch Stock community from new riders joining the party to new sponsors showing their support- next tour stop Loch Stock will be welcoming Fox Clothing aboard. They’ll be providing some top prizes and their splendid products are now available in Mayles Watersports in Balloch.

Loch View here we come!

Less than one week now till the first comp stop of the Loch Stock tour is upon us as we head down to Loch View Motel in Dumfrieshire. Last year’s tour winner and Liquid Force rider Kurt Graham is making the trip up fresh from the UK Pro Tour to provide expert coaching on Saturday. Sunday sees the first round of competition which, judging by the progression of Scottish riders in the past few years, should be intense! Riding starts 11am both days.

For all the last minute travellers there still is some accommodation left in small quantities so get on the phone and book now! www.lochviewmotel.co.uk for more details and for directions.

This weekend will set the tour off in style- if you ain’t gonna be there you’d better have a damn good reason!

See you there!

Loch Stock now officially underway!

May 18th, 2010 by james

If you missed the first LS stop then you missed out, big time! The sun was out (for most of the weekend) and there was always flat water to be had; combine that with pro coaching from Liquid Force’s James Hooper and the usual epic party/all night bonfire, the event went off! As always the boat was out all weekend and there was a real buzz about the LLWB site as folk chilled out around the Loch side in proper Loch Stock festival style.

So what’s next…?

On 19/20^th June the tour will be stopping at Loch View Motel in Dumfrieshire for what has been widely hailed the wildest stop of the tour! Last year saw some sick riding on this incredible location, all night partying with the motel owner (legend), some ridiculous beer garden/dock jibbing and who can forget the Michael Jackson night!

This is the first of the competition stops which means awesome spectator action all weekend as well as epic riding- Loch Stock is free to attend and spectate so even if you’re not wakeboarding come along for the party! If you are riding then hit the “Enter 2010” link above before it’s too late- last year ALL places sold out so make sure you don’t miss out! To book accommodation head to www.lochviewmotel.co.uk and remember to quote “Loch Stock” when booking.

The season’s already started with a bang- make sure you’re there to help kick off the tournament in style as this year will go down in history!

Loch Stock gets underway this weekend!

April 29th, 2010 by james

Only one day left until the Loch Stock tour officially kicks off and we couldn’t be more stoked! There’s been a massive amount of interest and the weekend looks like it’s gonna be epic. If you haven’t booked a set yet then give us a shout and we may be able to squeeze you in.

Camping is available at the lochside for £5 per night and there’ll be plenty demos, trade stands and more to keep you occupied throughout the day while the boat’s out. And of course saturday night will be the official opening party for Loch Lomond Wakeboard! Look out for the LS tees and hoodies on sale at the event, all helping put fuel in the boat and making Loch Stock a reality.

If you’re not sure where you’re going, LLW are situated in Sallochy Bay, Near Rowardennan just north of Drymen. If you have Sat Nav plug this secret code in for directions: G63 0AW. You can also find details at http://www.lochlomondwakeboard.com/your-trip-to-loch-lomond.php.

One last thing…

festival = mud = wellies

You have been warned!
