Wakeboarding & Festival in Eastern Europe

Winter has set in Brandenburg, the leaves are off the trees and the idea of being "too hot" is a distant memory. Everything is quiet, no climbing, no wakeboarding. It's finally given me the time and headspace to look back at some of the memories from Summer 2018. Special about this year is that Jen has picked up wakeboarding and is improving at lightning speed, great that we can do another sport together :-)

In August we took a few days off an missioned on down to Samsara Festival, which is near Lake Balaton in Hungary. This is a chillll electronic festival that I had been wanting to go to for years, and it didn't disappoint.

We took the wakeboards, and decided to make it a combined wakeboard / festival adventure. Good thing too - as it was about 40c at the festival during the day and an escape to water seemed the only sensible option.

On the way down we had some high and low points, accidental trips to Poland, a paradise campsite in the Czech wilderness, closed wake parks, Bohemian Eurocamps, issues with Slovakian vignettes, and Lupa wake park - possibly the coolest park in Europe? A gorge walk. Lots in a week! All in all, an awesome adventure.
