We tried. We honestly tried. Up until that September, The Watercraft Journal was the only personal watercraft magazine to bring you coverage of every major (and some minor) freeride event in the United States in 2014. With breakneck speed we provided full-length feature recaps, massive photo galleries and even some video footage to boot.
But then the bottom fell out two days before this past September 5th through the 7th. Everything that could’ve gone wrong did and we were left swallowing a heap full of crow: we would be without coverage from one of the biggest freerides of the year. Sorry folks.
Thankfully, the one big thing the annual Blowsion Surf Slam happening on the shores of Oregon’s Tierra Del Mar Beach is no lack of media coverage. Rags like Pro Rider, Wet Racer and even Watercraft Rider lined the shores, cameras in hand, snapping away at all the aerial action. But all of those pale in comparison to the gifted eye of Ludo Mouveau and the Fullgaz crew, as they captured some of the world’s greatest freeriders and racers.
Held just north of Pacific City, the Surf Slam is free to the public, welcoming over 100 Pro and Amateur competitors from around the world to compete for cash and glory. Joining them were a swathe of talented PWC racers displaying high speed turns around a buoy course all while battling the Pacific Coast’s unpredictable surf.
