On June 25th, Derek married Michelle Moretti at the Berkeley City Club in Berkeley, California. It was a beautiful wedding with all of Derek and Michelle’s closest friends and family there to celebrate. There were a few special things to note about the wedding. Sean was a one of Derek’s groomsman, which was funny because it was a little weird to see them in something other than boardshorts. Magnus Johansson and Rebecca, our first customers and close friends, came all the way from Sweden to show their support. Also, Erich Schmaltz, Integrity’s owner, was there to celebrate the big day.

Check out our MEDIA GALLERY for some great photos of the wedding weekend and honeymoon. The photographer, Dave Getzschman, was amazing and graciously gave us permission to use these on our site. You can also check out the wedding slideshow on Dave’s website, www.davegetzschman.com. Click HERE to see the Wedding Slideshow.

Check out our MEDIA GALLERY for our updated photos. We have added a section for our trip to Costa Rica, lots of 2007 student pics, great crash pics, and a bunch of funny stuff in the Random pics page.

Check out our NEW BOAT, a 23 ft. Centurion Typhoon. We left the graphics off so we could add our sponsor’s logos and our own Orlando Wakeboard Academy graphics. We haven’t been able to think of a good OWA graphic, so WE WANT YOUR HELP. We are giving away lessons to the person who designs the best Orlando Wakeboard Academy graphic for the boat. We are very open to ideas, so CONTACT us with your ideas or any questions you have. We hope to pick a winner by September 1st. Thanks and good luck!
