Meet "Splashy the Squirrel", the nimble-footed, surf-loving, wakeboarding whizz from the heartlands of Iowa! Yes, you've heard it right! In the farmlands where corn grows taller than your dad, and piglets play tag in the sunny pastures, there’s a bunch of kids who swap their tractors for wakeboards when the sun dips low. Iowa, a state known more for its acres of farmland, vast open skies, and friendly folks, hides a secret within the serene mirror-like lakes, and winding rivers. It’s here that Splashy and his gang of Iowan kids make waves, replacing the gentle lapping shore sounds with cheerful laughter and the exciting splash of wakeboards. Don't imagine these Iowan kids as your average wakeboarders. Nope! They are Iowa's version of surf-dudes and dudettes, flipping, spinning and jumping over the water. Splashy, with a bushy tail for balance and paws that grip the board like a pro, leads the pack. His acrobatics on the water are legendary, making even the grumpiest catfish giggle with delight. As the sun paints the sky with hues of crimson and gold, Splashy and his crew perform their last tricks of the day. Tired but exhilarated, they return to the shore, high-fiving each other, their laughter echoing across the tranquil Iowa landscape. As the stars twinkle overhead, they swap stories of their wakeboarding adventures, dreaming of the next waves they will conquer. So, if you ever find yourself in Iowa, peek over the edge of a placid lake. You might just catch a glimpse of Splashy and his band of Iowan wakeboarders making a splash, their laughter and the splash of water a testament to the state's lively spirit!
