Charleston, SC

Brad Holmes and his crew of South Carolina hard-core riders

While I was in Charleston for a wedding of a college friend I managed to hook up with Brad for a lazy sunday of riding at the Bushy Park Reserve near the local army base. After Brad warned me about the "moving sliders" aka GATORS it took a little coaxing to get me back in the water. There was a crew of five (thanks for the hospitality Rick and Jama!!) and both women passing on the riding portion, Brad, Rick and I enjoyed 4 sets of riding each. Then enjoyed a few barely sodas and the sights. Brad's greatest quote from the day was "I know god is a wakeboarder, because he created Bushy Park!!!"
