One of the most sought after award this year was most defiantly finishing in the top ten of The Wakeskate Tour. Why? Because everyone who finished top ten gets to go to the Philippines for an all-expenses-paid trip, courtesy of the CWC and Republic Wakeparks. Podiums are cool, but a trip to CWC and Republic with a crew of this magnitude is all time! We are stoked for our Team Rider Ben Horan this year representing BuyWake and Ambush Board Co.! Cheers boys and have a safe trip!
For Immediate Release:
The Wakeskate Tour Presented by Rockstar Energy
The 2014 season has ended & the dust has settled, with our Top Ten finally set in stone. After shredding their way to the top, the 2015 Spring Training crew will make their way to lovely country of the Philippines for an all-expenses-paid trip, courtesy of the CWC and Republic Wakeparks. This trip will see the Top Ten riders traveling, wakeskating, surfing, skateboarding, filming, shooting photos, & having themselves an all-around amazing time tripping through this incredible country. It’s sure to be an adventure filled with progression & fun. They will embark on this journey just weeks before the Stop #1 of 2015, making it a true Spring Training endeavor to sharpen their skills before the season. Congratulations to the following & we will see you soon! Read More >
Look you know it’s the first thing you do when you pull that iPhone out of your pocket. Sure you follow friends and family (your mom’s on insta and you don’t even know it), but for the love of the wake world who do you follow? @!HarleyClifford gets two thousand likes in his sleep and @wakezeach gets 100 a post , but they will keep you laughing your ass off. This mixed bag of followers are a must follow for action and entertainment.
1) Chris O’Shea – Not only is he a ripper on the water Chris has been taking some of the most amazing images this past year. Good for the soul.
2) Nike Wakeskating – It’s no secret we back wakeskating and have been doing so for a hot minuite…we like the idea of big Nike staying and helping grow such a small part of this industry. Plus they have some of the best riders to watch ever. Just do it. Read More >
So I spoke with Mike yesterday and he is fully cleared to get back on the wakeboard again. Now don’t jump to conclusions of seeing multiple double flips just yet. Mike has been busting his ass training and rehabbing his knee slowly to get his knee stronger for longevity. Only a few weeks ago he started wakesurfing to get the “feel” of being on the water. The power of the mind is unreal when you focus your thoughts on what you want and Mike wants it all. We are all stoked to see him ride again, but his great return will come at his pace not ours.
If there is one aspect of wakeboarding that I love the most it’s snowboard style. What? Yeah…snowboard style. Dylan has these quirky moves that I’ve seen in snowboard videos for years. Butters…gnarly taps…gap to wall rides and so on. Dylan’s edit that was put together by Taylor Hanley is hands down one of the sickest ever. Peep Dylan getting himself into some sticky situations and coming out super clean. Just wait for the rail to lake.
Ambush Wake Team rider Justin Lee isn’t just some new kid on the block learning to ride cable at Terminus. Justin is a young seasoned rider who possesses his own cable park in his back yard and has been to more cable parks than you would know. Justin can now be found at the new Terminus Wake Park in north Atlanta on a regular basis. Home court advantage is real. Watch Justin’s new edit and peep for yourself.
