At the Orlando Wakeboard Academy, we believe wakeboarding is a sport that should be based on having fun with friends and family while allowing each person to push themselves beyond their expectations. We teach wakeboarding, wakeskating, wakesurfing, and waterskiing to all ages and skill levels. We pride ourselves on being one of the most flexible and affordable wakeboard schools/camps in Orlando. Please explore our site to find out a little more about who we are and what we offer.

At this time we are going to discontinue the weekly trivia and replace it with something way more fun for you and beneficial to others. That is as long as you aren’t Derek Seaman or Sean O’Brien. This is the perfect opportunity for you to take out all of your aggression on these unfortunate individuals and at the same time help those in need.

In July, Derek and Sean are going to spend a week in Connecticut running wakeboard clinics and helping with a charity event called FixAKid which will raise money for a children’s hospital. They decided that what they were doing just wasn’t enough and they wanted to give a little more. After a lot of pondering over what they have to offer people and ways to raise money, complete self-humiliation seemed like the only answer. Honestly, what could be better than donating to help save children’s lives and at the same time make these guys look like fools?

Here is how this is going to work. Derek and Sean have been growing their hair out for months and they have decided to put their hair up for auction. The total amount of money donated by you guys will determine the devastatingly funny hairstyle that these guys will have to endure. Each of the predetermined hairstyles will fall into a certain price range and as the amount of money raised increases so does the intensity of the hairstyles. So the total value of all contributions will determine the unfortunate outcome of Sean and Derek’s hair.

There are probably some nice people out there that don’t want anything bad to happen to Sean or Derek and I’m sure they appreciate your concern, but seriously what have they ever done for you? So let’s give these guys what they deserve and save some kids at the same time.

The hairstyle and their values are as follows:
>$250 Buzz cut with #2 guard
>$500 Mohawk
>$750 Rat tail w/ Buzz cut
>$1000 Mullet (aka 10/90 or STLB)
>$1250 BICed (shaved with razor)
>$1500 Cul-De-Sac (top of head shaved as if balding)
>$1750 The Old Man (Cul-De-Sac with hair short on sides and some long hair left for comb over)
>$2000 If we reach our goal of $2000, the person with the single greatest donation will get to choose
how Sean and Derek will be cutting their hair.

Donations will be accepted until July 18th and at this time the hairstyle will be determined. The haircuts will be given on the morning of the 19th before the tournament by a “professional” so all may witness their new ‘do’s. To make sure that everyone feels like they are getting their money’s worth, pictures and a video will be posted on the Orlandowake website for your viewing pleasure.

The Donation Total so far is: $2741

Since we have reached the $2000 milestone, the haircut will be determined by our highest bidder. As of right now, that is Capt. John Krystyniak. Everyone has until midnight Friday to overtake John and control the outcome of our hair. We will post any changes that occur with the highest bidder status. Thank you all so much for being a part of this.

Chase Tydings reviewed our camp, along with five others in Florida, for www.DCWake.com. If you want to learn a little more about us from a customer’s point of view, click HERE . It’s a great source for learning about and comparing some of the wakeboard camps in the area. The review is very well written, almost totally unbiased (we tried to pay him), and very accurate. We have to say that because we were the only one in the class to get an A (on the 10 pt. scale, of course.)

Thanks to Chase for all of the kind words and converting to wakeskating! Nice Shuvit!!!
