THE BLOG: Insights, advice and news from our summer camp experts
We had a blast this past weekend at the first ever indoor wake surfing contest at Surf's Up NH in Nashua, New Hampshire.

They will have some other sweet prizes as well as lots of cash money for the winners. The competition has been getting a bit of press recently and will definitely be a good time!
