Episode 19 of Project Adventure follows our boys to the glassy, crystal clear lakes found only in Canada’s world-class cottage country, Muskoka, Ontario. As the sun rises, the boys arrive at Bush’s Sports Centre’s private lake for a wakeboarding lesson with a couple talented, homebred ladies.

Pan-American athlete Erika Langman and FACE athlete Tayler Wilton suit up in Stripes and strap on their boards to show our boys how to catch some big air.

First timers Brent and Ryan have a little trouble getting up, but their persistence, and Erika and Tayler’s careful instruction, finally pays off. Ryan gets a little cocky, but after catching an edge and face-planting into the water he comes back down to earth. Mike does some fancy spins and inverts, and Chris carves through the cable park. But the ladies are the ones who dominate this day, and the boys leave in awe of their mad skills.
