I just got back from Doha, Qatar last Saturday where Wakeboard World Championship and World Cup reached its peak with finals held on 2nd and 3rd November. Apart from catching a sun burn, it was sure exciting watching the most talented and daring athletes compete.

It’s one thing to see a talented athlete perform at their best… and, it’s even better when their enthusiasm, determination and passion for the sport rubs on you and inspires you.

One such athlete is Dallas Friday who won the ladies events in spectacular fashion.wakeboard ladies doha She’s truly amazing to watch and came top in 32 out of 34 events during 2003 to 2005.

Now what most people don’t know is that she broke her left femur (leg bone between pelvis and knee) during competition in Singapore 2006. Yet she came back to win 1st place a year later in 2007. Talk about sheer determination and passion for the sport.

Whether you’re into wakeboarding or not, I hope this gets you pumped up, excited… overcome your usual excuses… and start getting passionate about looking and feeling your best.
