Anaheim, Ca. – Hydro-Turf congratulates HT Wakesurf team riders  on their 1^st and 2^nd place podium spots in Men’s Open Surf at the 2011 NWWSA Wakesurf Open this last weekend at Lake Sammamish, WA. It was an impressive showing considering the water conditions but the HT team handled business as usual and represented their respected board companies (Shred Stixx & Flyboy Wakesurf) and sponsors well. And since were handing out the congats let’s not forget about a great 3^rd place finish from Shred Stixx rider Chris Kinsey who will soon be riding the new Slaysh Tank team traction pad manufactured by Hydro-Turf. And finally HT would like to thank all the participants, volunteers and the hard working folks @ NWWSA for putting on a great event and special shout out to Grace Han Stanton whose assistance made it possible for HT Traction to participate as a sponsor.

New for 2011, is our flat bottom, park Plank. Rail gypsies beware.

With summer right around the corner we are working around the clock to bring you the new 2011 line of boards. The Oracle will be made in limited quantities and boasts some of the most technologically advanced features we could possibly jam into a wakeboard. Being so late, we’d thought it would be a good idea to let people know what’s coming – indestructoid bases, fully flared edges, surf sidewalls, and of course some secret weapons we are going to share at release. Stay tuned…

The Snuke is now available for purchase – and absolutely loaded with goodies. We’d like to bring you through just a couple of the main features until we get our boards page updated. For now you can see more and purchase through our web store.

+ Schapes Exclusive Design. We will have a video up shortly explaining the shape a little more in depth. There are some hidden gems.

+ Super lightweight EPS foam core

+ FCS Fusion fin system with leash plug. Read more about the system.

+ Hydro-Turf custom full length recessed foam traction (fits in most board racks)

+ 3 – 2″ Nana fiberglass fin set

It is that time of year again.  The beautiful weather is back, the grass is green, and I am sure you are starting to get that little feeling inside that just makes you want to get out and HELP the CAUSE.

Orlando, Fla. — Hailing from Italy, Russia, Japan, South Korea, the Netherlands and a half-dozen more countries from throughout the globe, the top professional and amateur wakeboarders and wakeskaters on the planet will converge in Orlando, Fla., on April 28-May 1 for the 2011 Nautique Wake Games, presented by Rockstar Energy Drink. The four-day event, held at the Orlando Watersports Complex, is the largest teamed wakeboard contest in the world, with more than 200 riders expected to compete at the sixth annual Games.

The Nautique Wake Games attracts such large and diverse group of competitors due to the event’s uniqueness, as it’s is the only wakeboarding contest where professional and amateur riders compete together in teams to affect an overall outcome.

“Wake Games is pretty rad because it’s not just you competing against everyone. You’re on a team with riders of all the different ages and skill levels, working together as a group to win,” said Nautique team pro wakeboarder JD Webb. “It’s so different from every other contest out there and that’s why so many riders travel long distances to compete in it.”

The first two days of action at the Nautique Wake Games feature qualifying rounds, where only 90 eligible riders will be invited to join 10 preselected team captains for the live draft, held Friday evening, April 29, on site at the Orlando Watersports Complex.

During the draft, the 10 team captains will each select nine additional riders from the pool of 90 to field their 10-man roster with a mix of pro and amateur riders. Riders will compete in different divisions, separated by age and skill level, while still contributing points toward a team score based on their individual placement in that division. All 21 divisions will crown an individual winner, and the team with the highest total score will take home the team title.

Teams will begin accumulating points on Saturday, April 30, and continue through Sunday, May 1, when a winning team will be crowned.

Last year, Nautique team pro wakeboarder Jimmy LaRiche captained the winning team to capture the 2010 team title.

The Nautique Wake Games, presented by Rockstar Energy Drink will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on all four event days. Tickets are available at the gate: $13 (adult); $5 (ages 6-12); free (ages 5 and under); or $7 (adult) if purchased online.

In addition to all the action on the water, on land the Nautique Wake Games features great food and music, athlete autograph signings, chances to win freebies, and shopping at the most cutting-edge stores offering water-sports equipment including boats, wakeboards, wakeskates, sunglasses and the latest in wakeboarding and surfing fashions.
