Virgin River Skimboard Competition 2009

Every summer in St. George they hold a Skimboard competition at the Virgin River. People come from all over to compete here. It is very well know in the skimboard world and highly competive. Two years ago, Braden took 1st place in his age division and Breanna took 3rd in hers. Last year we couldn't attend, but this year Braden entered and won 2nd in his division. We are so proud. We took the whole family and spent the day at the river. It is very shallow and so much fun for the kids and I to just hang out there in the water while it is 110 degrees in St. George! We spend a lot of time here in the summers. Braden checks the ramp angles so that he gets the best jump.

Braden's biggest fans and cheerleaders. Except Breanna who read and listened to her ipod for most of the competition.

He is such a serious competitor. Where most of the kids were into the quantity of their runs, Braden was into the quality of his. He did fewer runs but they were the his very best and like everything he does, he gives 110% of himself.

Fun was had by all and we can't wait to do it again next year!
