Such a fun weekend with the Ambush Board Co. and BuyWake.com out at Terminus! Ambush was well represented with team riders Blake Bishop, Justin Lee, Josh Zentmeyer, Quinn Silvernale. Rob Corum and the WWA crew did a spectacular job with the event and host park Terminus has one of the nicest parks hands down. We were equally as stoked as Justin Lee when we found out he was in the finals of Pro Men Cable! Justin placed 4th, but landing your self in the finals with some of the best riders in the world isn’t too shabby. Blake and Cross landed podium spots respectively in Open Men with a 2nd (Blake) and 3rd (Cross). One of the biggest wins of the day was Remote Wakeskate / Ambush Team rider Josh Zentmeyer taking the top spot in Pro Wakeskate! So many insane tricks went down that day and we can’t wait to see the final video of the stop. For a break down in the finals check out the Alliance post.

Support Wakeboarding “Pass the Handle”
The 1st annual Pass the Handle — Discover Water Sports Day will take place at a lake near you on July 26, 2014. This is an incredible awareness-driven concept drawn up by legendary wakeboarders Shaun Murray and Zane Schwenk, encompassing any towed-water-sport enthusiast to get out on the water and extend their passionate arm to people in need of an awesome activity.
The concept is simple: Find a buddy or buddies who don’t already take advantage of the amazing sports included under the towed-water-sports umbrella, and get them on the water. Take them out, teach them how to ride, and introduce them to the same fun lifestyle of being on the water that we enjoy. Our goal is to truly engage those already involved to “share the stoke” and teach as many people as they can to ride.
Heavy Times.
In my 12 years of wake i’ve seen some pretty gnarly injuries. I’m guessing 8 out of 10 of my closest friends have had a knee surgery or two…it sucks. Support is the one thing that you can always count on with your friends and family when it comes to these harsh times being on injury reserve. Well those pale in comparison to the news that we heard with Reed Hansen’s update last week on Matt Manzari. To add to such seriousness was when we heard the news yesterday about Brad Smeele and his horrific injury while riding. It’s not my place to get into the details, but it is my opinion that if you have the ability to help you should. Support these men in their time of need. Imagine if it was your brother, son, friend. United We Ride.
The Nautique Open Golf Tournament at Callaway Gardens | The 55th Masters
Every year the global community of water sports athletes and fans travels to Pine Mountain, Georgia to Callaway Gardens for what many feel is the greatest water ski and wakeboard event of the year. As a rider, getting invited to the Masters can be a career highlight. If you win, you join the rarefied ranks of Masters champions. What could be more fun, right? In my opinion, the real battle at the Masters can be found on the golf courses of Callaway Gardens on the first day of the tournament. That’s when the Nautique Open golf tournament is held. While most look forward to the events on the water, as do I, the real fun is getting all your friends who are riders and industry heads out for a round of golf.
