Halloween Party at the Lagoon

This pass Saturday, our buddies at Wakesports threw a Halloween party at Carlsbad Lagoon to celebrate one of the best holidays along with what we all love, wakeboarding. It was definitely a site to see, never thought I would see my childhood action figures wakeboarding but I guess there is a first for everything. Having Spiderman and Captain America ripping it up on the water was absolutely hilarious! Other characters included jokers, 70s pimps, and cavemen doing work. The weather was perfect and everyone seemed to really enjoy themselves with the combination of sun, riding, and good food to eat after a long day of boarding. It was a good turnout for the event with about 40 to 50 people showing up and three of four bad ass boats giving people a pull all day long. Liquid Force Flew out professional wakeboarder Keith Lyman to join the festivities. At the end of the day Keith gave away one of his boards he actually used in an upcoming video for the best Halloween costume of the day. The lucky winner wore a gorilla suit and was blown away when he found out he won. All in all the day at the lagoon was a success for the riders and especially for San Diego by putting us on the map as a great place to ride.

Fantasy Wakeboarding League, Not just for Football Anymore

Have you ever wanted the power to start Shaun Murray in the pro circuit? How about trade Dallas Friday for JD Webb or possibly bench Shane Bonifay and pick someone else up off waivers? Websites these days are making these possibilities come true with Fantasy Wakeboarding competitions! Here’s how it works: you draft 16 riders, you can trade them, start them, bench them, pretty much whatever you want and you are typically granted a $5 million to $10 million dollar salary cap. Start them in pro tournaments including Pro Tour stops WWA Nationals, IWSF World, Wakestock, World Cup, and more. Just like in Football your riders earn you points based off how they do in real life at the tournaments they enter and compete. Team points accumulate throughout the season as you compete against hundreds of other Fantasy participants and have a shot at winning $5,000 in prizes. The prizes consist of Hyperlite wakeboard and binding packages, wakesurf boards, wakeskates, life vests, t-shirts and other miscellaneous products. The top 25 are all winners and if you win your conference you are also guaranteed prizes. The entry fee for these events are usually around $10.00 and there are some free fantasy wakeboarding leagues as well.

Things to look forward to for next season…

2009 Hyperlite Marek 141 Wakeboard.

Consumers say that this model is possibly the most anticipated shape to hit the market in several years. Pro Wake boarder Rusty Malinoski and Hyperlite are extremely excited to present the newest addition to the Hyperlite D.I.N.E series, The Marek. With four 9 degree angled fins set just inside a two stage channel, this new line of wakeboards initiates an edge with little effort, which in turn creates a faster and most responsive ride out on the water. Other features include a new tip-to-tail step-down rail, rocker line, fully machined Nova core, and strategically placed carbon torsion zones for maximum durability and responsiveness. This will be the lightest board on the market, which will give you the ability to generate speed and pop off the wake like nothing else. Combining these features, along with a sick graphic design, you now have the premier wakeboard for the 2009 season!
