Every week, dedicated members of Sacramento State’s Wakeboard Club may be found riding their wakeboards on the Sacramento River in the morning.

Dan Bright, senior business major and club president, said the club practices through the winter.

“During late December you’ll find us still out on the Sacramento River,” Bright said.

Bright said the club has open practices from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

Senior business major and club vice president Mitch DeAngelis, said he and Bright have been keeping the club strong by encouraging people to come out to practices and tournaments.”We want to be a social club as well as a sports club, and to give everybody an opportunity to improve themselves at wakeboarding,” DeAngelis said.

DeAngelis said the club will attend another Collegiate Nationals in late November.

DeAngelis said the club’s skill levels range from beginning to professional.

The club has approximately 30 active members. Bright’s goal for the club is to maintain their current amount of members and to make sure everyone is having a good time.

The club has meetings at 8 p.m. Thursdays at the fireplace lounge in the University Union.
