Here's the url he was talking about

The past year has been a busy one for Ronix. So busy, in fact, that the team hasn't even been able to go on a trip somewhere and ride together. But this past weekend the Ronix riders (and company co-owners), Parks Bonifay, Danny Harf, Chad Sharpe, Emily Copeland-Durham, and Adam Errington all loaded up and rolled out of Orlando for a little getaway of riding and hanging out. A few of us Alliance folk tagged along to document the trip.

A lot of wakeboard team trips are to really exotic locations and cost unbelievable amounts of money. But the fact remains that Florida will always be one of the best places to wakeboard on Earth. So Ronix kept it simple and headed out just a couple hours from their homes in Orlando for their first team trip together. The team was greeted with blue skies, warm weather and unbelievably glassy conditions (thanks, Mother Nature!). This location will be kept secret until further notice (so keep your eyes peeled for a video on this website and an article in a future issue of Alliance Wakeboard -- but no guarantees we will actually reveal it there, either).

With great conditions and a group of riders like the ones on the Ronix team, you're guaranteed a really good trip. While there might have been a few obstacles (aren't there always with wakeboard trips?), the gods were seemingly always on our side for this little excursion, so on our side, in fact, that even some dolphins came to play with us. So needless to say, the photos and video footage from the trip are epic and all of the riders were stoked to have such a successful first trip together. Maybe the next Ronix team trip will be a little more exotic and a little further than a two-hour drive, but it's going to have a tough time living up to this first one.

alafiaboarder, awesome story. Thanks for sharing. My second day ever standing up on a wakeboard was on Mason Lake in Washington behind our old bass boat early one morning. I was getting my ass kicked and absolutely hating the sport altogether. Out of nowhere Brent Starr rolls by, going about twice as fast as we are, throwing all kinds of craziness out of his ass. At the time, I had no idea who it was or what any of the tricks were called, but I knew I wanted to find out. Without seeing firsthand what was possible on a wakeboard, there's no way I'd still be involved in the sport.

And you're damn right you had every right to "waste" their time. If you spend $800 on a set-up you better be able to start up a conversation with the team the once in a lifetime they visit your local stomping grounds.

I could just see the thought process: "brand new, $60k boat, damn, I don't need more posers ruining my butter. I bet they suck. I'd like to go take a set and show them up right now. OH stuff, was that a moby dick 5?"

JV, haha

I hope alliance isnt serious about this "secret spot" business. Ive only been there once and I recognized it in a minute of lookin at the pics. Everyone who lives within 50 miles of there knows where they were.

Definetely good to see Parks back! Im so stoked to see him ride again. Hopefully throw some new stuff down. Definetely the first person I want to meet when I go to the PWT in ATL in a month.
