Liquid Force Team Riders Aaron Reed and Silas Thurman were at the Mission Bay Aquatic Center to show off their wakeskating skills to the students there. As usual, I jumped in the tube and rode along to get a few photos. How they can make those boards stick to their feet, I have no idea. More photos after the link below.
Below is a video from yesterday’s Mission Bay aerial shoot showing all of the unedited images from the entire shoot. Enjoy!
The Mission Bay Aquatic Center wanted updated aerial images of their facility, as they just completed work on an impressive solar energy system that supplies 100% of their electricity needs. This was my first shoot from a helicopter, actually, it was my first time ever in a helicopter, and I had a great time. Read more and see more of the images at the link below.
I had a chance to shoot Shawn Watson from Liquid Force Wakeboarding while he was at the Mission Bay Aquatic Center in San Diego.
Below is a time lapse video of part of the solar panel installation at the Mission Bay Aquatic Center in San Diego, California. The system is being installed by Sullivan Solar Power. This video covers one full day of work. This is a 41 kW system made up of 276 individual panels and will be providing 100% of the energy needs for the facility.
Please visit http://www.missionbayaquaticcenter.com/takeaction.htm to show your support for The Mission Bay Aquatic Center by sending a message to the San Diego City Council to approve the Mission Bay Aquatic Center’s lease. It’s a great place that offers tons of programs. Your support will help the MBAC continue doing what they do for another 25 years.
Info from the MBAC: The Mission Bay Aquatic Center is an educational program that has been jointly operated by the Associated Students of San Diego State University and the University of California, San Diego on Santa Clara Point since 1964 with a long-term lease since 1975. Efforts to seek approval for a new lease following more than 9 years negotiations were recently completed by the City’s Real Estate Assets Department and the lease is now proceeding to the City Council.
The Center has a proven and undisputed track record of quality service to a diverse cross-section of the San Diego community for the past 44 years that has included under-served youth, persons with disabilities, school programs, camp programs and extensive educational offerings to university students, faculty, staff and alumni, and members of the general public.
The universities renovated a dilapidated old boathouse, dock and seawall that the City could not afford to operate and transformed it into the world renowned facility that it is today. Proposed changes in the new lease will for the first time provide rent to the City for all non-collegiate users including use by members of the general public. Additionally, the universities’ student programs have agreed to invest over $430,000 for a new solar photovoltaic generating system and family restroom. The solar photovoltaic system will generate 100% of the Center’s yearly electrical use and over the life of the system prevent over 4,000,000 pounds of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere. The family restroom will provide private facilities for persons with disabilities and parents with children.
