Some Personal Information About Me:
My name Is Blake Lawrence and Im 32y/o. I have been wakeboarding for 3 years and surfing for 15 years. I am enthusiastic about my sports, more so wakeboarding but commited none the less. I served 4 years in the navy and traveled the whole time. Attended Barry University In Miami shores,FL where I met my wife Erin. We moved to Rhode Island in 2004, bought our house in '05 and our Centurion Avalance C4 in '08 and have been pushing forward the whole time, Never quit!
Do you train? What does your schedule look like?
I maintain a disciplined training routine which involves Cardio, strength training, and yoga.....gotta stretch cause injuries suck!
Why do you like this sport?
The major draw of wakeboarding to me is the fact it is individual based but you need a crew of people willing to sacrifice time and effort, so it is a team sport as well. The Sacrifice makes you want it more, increases the value of a rockin' session.
Describe your style...
Energetic style on the boat and an explosive aggresiveness in the water, charge harder than you are capable of, then charge some more. Always ready to attack the wake.
What inspires you to compete?
I am inspired more by the lack of competitions in the area. It is a long term goal of mine to bring wakeboarding to the north east by enlisting other area riders, shops, sponsors and so on willing to bring this sport to the area. If you have any interest, let me know. Then I will want to win :)
