TBKA at Madeira Beach Middle School

[amber]

The Curriculum Celebration at Madeira Beach Middle School went really well. It was an event to basically get kids off the couch and doing something outside. There were a few other companies there including a couple surf shops, environmental groups, etc. The people from the wakeboarding school that Adam rides for was telling parents that their kids qualified for a free 15 minutes on the water with instruction every quarter if their kids are on honor roll. Pretty cool. We talked to a lot of kids and parents about our sport and of course our stress on safety, expectations for different age ranges, etc.

Josh Taylor who is an alumnus from MDMS was turning heads of the ladies and all the teachers were shocked at how built he has gotten. I think its important to recognize the fact that there were a bunch of people that had volunteered and that although some stuff came up for others, Josh held his commitment and was there on time with a great attitude. He is an example of what this event was geared towards becoming. He's great role model for younger kids and has a very mature sense of responsibility. Thank you JOSH!!!

Although the wakeboarding boat had some technical difficulties earlier in the day which prevented the demo from taking place, they still came out and talked to kids. With the boat with a tower on the trailer, they drew in a lot of attention. Thank you! Here are a few pics from the event. Doing this event was a great test run for futures events and we thought of a lot of new ideas for next time
