“Can’t Touch This!”

Louisiana Wakeboarding August 31, 2010 11

Joel Barfield recently posted a video on our Facebook page of a small kid shreddin the wake behind a Mastercraft X2. Cutting hard, crossing both wakes, shreddin back and forth, we couldn’t believe this little guy. At first glance we thought this was just a random video Joel found of a little guy rippin it up. After watching the entire video, we were wrong and quite surprised when we recognized the waters of North Louisiana.

Meet Beau Block. Beau is the 5 year old son of Tommy and Kelly Block of West Monroe, Louisiana. “Tommy purchased our Mastercraft X2 in June of this year..upon purchasing the new boat, he inquired about a board for Beau where he was referred directly to Hyperlite!”  said Kelly. Beau’s parents purchased the smallest board manufactured by Hyperlite, they thought since Beau was so light weight that riding the board would be a problem for him.  ”To our surprise, he got the feel for it after our first trip out!!…After 3 weeks, he is crossing both wakes, doing small jumps, cutting out and touching his booty to the water(terminology??) and riding with one arm/hand!!” said Kelly. Could Beau be the next Harley Clifford?

Proud mom explained they are taking things one trip at a  time to learn and gain experience. Even though Beau is only 5, his parents already see his passion for the sport. “HE LOVES IT AND WE LOVE THAT!!” said Kelly. We will be keeping up with Beau and his progression, at this rate we wouldn’t be surprised if Beau has an invert by next season.
