DPC Video Rider Profile: Garrett Morris
The little town of La Honda , CA is a far stretch away from close water, but 20 year old Garrett Morris calls it home, which means it’s good enough for one of the best emerging NorCal riders to hit the water in quite some time. He’s been ripping up the delta, berryessa, and everywhere in between.

Sponsorship Made Easy
ActionProfiles.com announces it’s launch of the “Support Your Shop” program which aims at helping local shops make it easier to connect to their local riders.

“Since launching just over three months ago, we have had an amazing response from our supporting companies and members as well,” said ActionProfiles.com President and Founder, Brandon Winnie. “ We understand that the headwaters to corporate sponsorship starts at the local shop. It’s a great way for these shops to track their local rider’s progression and participation through local contests and events…”
The “Support Your Shop” program is designed to help both the riders and shops as well. With this program, shops will be able to manage their local team of sponsored riders and also promote their business as well. The program is free, but you will have to be able to get 50 local riders to sign up and create profiles on ActionProfiles.com. After the shop has achieved this, they will receive a free online profile in which they will manage their team and promote their shop.

DPC Films Produces Mission 2 Ride Video Series
Ever wonder what it’s like to travel cross country on a $300k tour bus and wakeboard your brains out? Well over the course of seven-months, 16-states, and 27-cities Steven Hahn did just that while capturing 50+ hours of footage. Now with the footage in hand DPC Films is producing a 5 part mini-series with DPC’s Southern Cali editor Joe Umali leading the charge in the editing bay. Make sure to check out the first video in the series here and expect to see 4 more videos released over the next 2 months!
To find out more about Hahn's journey Click Here.....
Looking back at last season I can truly say it was the best time of my life. I quit my job, sold my house and hit the road for a seven-month, 16-state, 27-city wakeboarding road tour with the Mission2Ride crew.
In retrospect, it probably wasn't the smartest move I ever made, but for all of you die hard wakeboard enthusiasts, it was the trip of a lifetime. During my travels I compiled a video journal of all the people I met, places I had been and, of course, all the riding that went down.
I left Seattle in March of 2004 flying to Salt Lake City, Utah to pick up the Mission2Ride RV. We then drove to Orlando, Florida for the Pro Tour Opener. There I had the opportunity to shoot some video on Lake Whipoorwill and Lake Holden. As the Tour was about to start, there were a number of riders in town and all of them were eager to get some riding in before the weekend's event.
Part I is the first in a five part series courtesy of DPC Films, WakeWorld, Marine Power, CWB and Gator Boards.
