Acworth, Ga. - The top professional wakeboarders from throughout the
globe are set to hit the waters of Dallas Landing Park in the greater
Atlanta area of Acworth, Ga., on May 19-21, to kick off the 20th season
of MasterCraft Pro Wakeboard Tour, presented by Rockstar Energy Drink.
All the high-flying, rail-sliding water-sports action will take place
just offshore from the park's beach, on Lake Allatoona, where the
sport's top pros will compete for a cash purse and points toward the
season standings for the coveted Pro Tour title.

Throughout the three-day event, riders will compete in a series of
elimination rounds by performing rail tricks and aerial stunts, while
being pulled on the water by the official Pro Tour towboat, the
MasterCraft X-Star, at a speed of approximately 25mph. Tricks are scored
by a panel of judges, with only the top-scoring athletes advancing in
each round until a winner is determined in the finals, on Saturday, May
21.

Following the final rounds of action on Saturday, the Pro Tour will also
host two exhibition events on site, including the Overton's Double Up
Contest and a Big-Air Kicker Contest. Both events are designed to
feature select athletes performing exciting and innovative new tricks
that aren't normally attempted in a traditional contest setting. 

The 2011 Acworth tour stop, will mark the Pro Tour's fifth appearance at
Dallas Landing Park in the last six years. 

Last year, the MasterCraft Pro Wakeboard Tour, presented by Rockstar
Energy Drink made a splash in front of a crowd of more than 8,000
people, as several historical events took place in Acworth. 

Teenage Australian phenom Harley Clifford took first place at Dallas
Landing Park in 2010, after landing a handle pass KGB 540 - the first
ever in a contest. Also former world champion Rusty Malinoski landed one
of the most exciting tricks ever performed in Acworth - a Toeside 1080 -
during the event's Double Up Contest.

The 2011 Pro Tour opener promises to be even better, with addition of
the Pro Women's division. The sport's top female rippers have not
competed at Dallas Landing Park since 2008 and are looking to make an
impact in Acworth during their return.

In addition to all the action on the water; on land, fans will enjoy
plenty of great food; athlete autograph signings; chances to win
freebies; product sampling, and shopping at the most cutting-edge stores

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.
