After almost two weeks of road tripping across Germany, the O’Neill Wakeboard Team entered the final stage of their adventure.

From Hamburg, their path took them to Aurrich in the northwest, with stops in Paderborn and Essen. In the middle of an office complex there, Joe Battleday discovered a decorative pool with oversized concrete flower beds that presented themselves as perfect obstacles, while in Paderborn, Guenther Oka took on one of the greatest challenges of the whole trip: a rusty, three-meter high rail with a dangerously low water level.
