Randomly came across the first wakeskate I ever rode while we were in France a couple years back. The CWB Lucky (2001). It was wild putting it side by side with my WM and actually seeing how much wakeskates have evolved. But even wilder was thinking about how much wakeskating has shaped my life over the past 25 years - from the people I’ve met (including my wife) to the places it’s taken me, and all the memories tied to every board in between these two. 😌 🖤 🍻

ANNA MARIA ISLAND WEEKEND VIBES
Back in September, I finally got to experience Anna Maria Island for the first time for our friend @travbelsito’s birthday, and we had such a fun weekend exploring the island! Huge shoutout to @mckinna_anderson for looping us in and dropping the insider tips.
Anna Maria Island is only 7 miles long, but it packs the kind of chill, Old-Florida magic that feels like a whole different world.
Here are a dozen things to do, feel free to steal them for your trip.
Anna Maria Island Weekend Checklist
1. Sunrise coffee run at @northshorecafe_ami before hitting the beach. FYI, they also host yoga. Hit up your local AMI yoga teacher @hi_im_mckinna.
2. Try to find a whole sand dollar. Your best chance is during low tide.
3. Stop by the Old City Jail for a quick and quirky photo op.
4. Wakeskate through the clear water and mangroves.
5. Book a paddleboard/kayak tour or rental with @ami_paddleboard (they also cover Bradenton + Longboat Key)
6. Boat day to Jewfish Key and hang out on the clear water sandbar.
7. Hit @devsbevs_ for a delicious fresh juice pit stop.
8. Visit the oldest surf shop in Florida, @westcoastsurfshop.
9. Smash a burger at @skinnysplaceamisland, an “Old Florida Original” with the best burgers on the island.
10. Check out the local skate park in Holmes Beach. It’s free, beginners to experts are welcome and it has a mellow bowl.
11. Grab an AMI souvenir from @ginnysandjanees Cafe and Gift Store to remember your trip.
12. And finally, catch the sunset at Bean Point — it’s one of the most iconic views in Florida.
Bonus: If your route permits, stop by @jollibeeus in Pinellas Park.
