Wake Park Mafia have recently taken the you Jesse Scott under their wing, making him their newest team rider, so it was only natural to make a clip of him ripping it hard on his home stomping ground, Coffs Harbour.

WakeZeach: God of wakeboarding

Marlon — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 05:57:47 +0000

The WakeZeach mission statement promises to call out ‘any boardslide or fifty-fifty that is crooked or turned… or just looks gay.’

One can only assume that the critique behind the keyboard is nothing short of a master on rails.
With such an acute sense of alignment, and an uncanny knack of avoiding any unwanted homosexual-esque body positions, the author in question could only be one thing… a god. The god of wakeboarding!

Throughout our existence, man has forever looked to a supreme, god-like figure; someone who holds the key to all of man’s unanswered questions.
At long last we have a wake god – a divine leader who holds the key to pure wakeboarding perfection.

‘But, how can I meet this God?’, I hear you askin’.
Like any good god with a decent plan, it is impossible (or conveniently forbidden) for any mere mortals to see the god whom which we believe. You must have blind faith.
For those of you who need to fill a void within and wish to follow… by all means.

But if you’re a bit of a non-believer (like myself), then the term: ‘You can’t go to Hell if you don’t believe it exists’, will serve you well.
You cannot be judged by the almighty WakeZeach if you don’t believe it has credible existence. Simple.

Some religious beliefs speak of a second coming – a return of a ‘higher power’ if you will. I pray that Lord WakeZeach will one day reveal themselves to us and personally purify our riding, one grab at a time.

God forbid He ever witnesses one of us mid-rotation on a rail – we shall be judged!

Until then, head on over and read some of WakeZeach’s inspirational teachings – but mind the bad grammar.

Amen

Jobe set to release new Pro Model

Marcus — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 05:59:25 +0000

The 2012 collection of Jobe Wakeboard includes pro models of Austin Hair, Maxine Sapulette and Christian Koester. For the 2013 collection a new pro model will be added to this already impressive list, The Declan Clifford Pro Model! Jobe will introduce a Declan Clifford wakeboard as well as a Declan Clifford binding.

Cable skills
Declan Clifford has been part of the Jobe team for years now and is known as one of the most talented cable wakeboarders in the world. In 2011 he was crowned the British Cable Champion. He also took 5th place in the Protest Cable Call and got 6th at the WWA Worlds in Abu Dhabi. Jobe is extremely pleased with this renewed cooperation with Declan: “We are really proud to have been able to close this deal with Declan. He has a tremendous impression with his explosive wakeboard style recent reasons. Given his young age, his 2011 results are even more impressive. He has worked incredibly hard and deserves his own pro model more than anyone else at this point!” said Jobe’s marketing manager Henk van der Werf.

Stoked
The British wakeboarder is obviously very happy with his own Pro Model that will come out next season. “I have been contracted by Jobe for years now and I have seen them grow considerably in this time. The brand is going through especially exciting times now with the opening of the Jobe Concept Store in Orlando. I’m very happy I got to join the International team last season. Getting to launch my own Pro Series next season is a dream coming true. The Jobe designers are currently busy designing a graphic that fits my wakeboarding style. I work closely with them to get it perfect. I’m convinced that it will turn out to be an awesome design “says Declan himself.

Before launching his own Pro Series next season, Declan will still participate in many competitions this season. His first competition is the first stop of the WWA Triple in Texas.

The Declan Pro Model will be released October of this year. Jobe will reveal the official name of Declan’s pro model very soon. Make sure to check our website at www.jobesports.com!

Marcus — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 04:40:03 +0000

We received an email from Malibu Boats as part of their eNewsletter, and the news was pretty massive. Probably the biggest news was about AmberWing signing up with the Malibu team.

As 2011′s most decorated female rider, Amber Wing has done everything a girl can do on a wakeboard, including the first and only 900 to date. And now she has decided to use Malibu as her towboat to push herself and the sport of female wakeboarding, to an entire new level.

New Nautique Released

Marcus — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 04:22:52 +0000

Over the weekend, Nautique released their brand new boat. Here is the press release we received from Nautique.

Nautique is excited to introduce the next generation wake boat that will forever change what the industry thought possible. The all-new Super Air Nautique G23 redefines what a wake boat can be.

Nautique’s designers, engineers and elite team of professional riders started with a clean slate and created a wake that gives every rider the opportunity to do things they only dreamed possible. The G23 features the all-new Nautique Configurable Running Surface (NCRS) which fine-tunes the hull surface under any condition using the latest technology in our Nautique LINC system. Every inch of the boat’s hull was designed to create a wake that will work for every level of riding, at any speed and line length without sacrificing a clean lip, long transitions and solid pop. Additionally, with over 2,800 lbs. of sub-floor internal ballast, the G23 offers you maximum ballast with maximum storage and a world class wake without the need for additional weight.

The styling and craftsmanship that has gone into designing the interior of this boat is unlike anything that has come before it. From the ergonomics of the seats to the functionality of the seating configurations, no stone was left unturned in designing every aspect of the fit and finish. The long list of new, innovative features in the G23 includes integrated, custom-designed navigation and docking light arrays with LED lights; unique bow design offering deep, comfortable seating; removable, in-floor transom cooler; the stylish, functional Flight Control Tower, dynamic, aggressive hull-side graphics and gel-coat pattern; reversible stern seat with convenient slide mechanism; signature Nau-Teak flooring throughout the boat; and much more. Plus, with more storage and seating options than any preceding Nautique model, the G23 is large enough to easily accommodate all of your friends and family for a day of fun on the lake.

“The revolutionary new Super Air Nautique G23 is a result of years of hard work by our elite team of athletes and Product Development team. The G23 will advance the wake industry in ways far beyond what anyone thought possible,” stated Nautique CEO Bill Yeargin. “Only Nautique, the company who brought the industry the first inboard towboat, the boat tower, internal ballast, GPS speed control and many other firsts could build a boat this innovative,” Yeargin added.

The Super Air Nautique G23 will kick off the wake season at the 2012 Nautique Wake Games in Orlando, FL, April 11-14.
