It’s Friday, July 2nd, and Photo Contest #2 has started! And we are one week away from Tessa Campbell’s first weekend clinic. British Columbia has officially emerged from its 67 week state of emergency and I think we can all look forward to a fantastic summer. Last week’s heat wave may have been to blame for the lack of photo entries, but here’s hoping that this week, people will be ready to share some pics! As always, the contest will run for six consecutive days, starting Friday morning (today) and ending Wednesday, Jul 7th at 7 pm. During that time, post your best watersport pictures with a caption under the Facebook post announcing the weekly contest. If you don’t have a facebook account, you can email your picture with a caption to info@slsbc.ca and we will post on your behalf. People can ‘like’ any pictures that they think are deserving. The photo with the most likes by end of day Thursday, Jul 8th wins! If you can’t get a photo posted this week, please remember, there will be a new contest starting Friday, July 9th, 2021. Take a look at last year’s week #2 winner above from Jake Hassan for some inspiration.

We’re looking forward to seeing the next round of photos!

The summer is almost over. Despite not being able to run clinics or the tournament, it has been great to see so many people out enjoying the lake: swimming, skiing, surfing, tubing and wakeboarding.

This is our sixth summer on the lake, so we are relative newcomers. One of my first impressions of Sakinaw was of the amazing community and friendships. The people around the lake are so incredibly generous with their time and knowledge and that, along with the crystal clear and warm water, is part of what makes Sakinaw so great.

Sakinaw Lake is such a special place for all of us. To pay tribute to this, Barry Krangle has collected a series of ten photos from around the lake. How well do you know the lake? Test yourself and see if you can identify these special locations.

To enter, email your answers, numbered 1 to 10 to info@slsbc.ca by next Friday, Sept 4th. Winners will receive prizes – also collected by Barry! – that we will try and distribute over the Labour Day weekend. Good luck and happy guessing!
