The third and final stop of the PWL presented by Grain Wakeskates
The Wakeskating community came together this past weekend for the final stop of the PWL tour. We couldn’t have asked for better weather for camping, riding, fellowship and good times. Campers, RV’s and tents covered the grounds as the grass roots style event kicked off on Thursday with practice for all riders competing. Groups gathered with coolers and beach chairs to soak up the cool Georgia air as others hung closely to the shade under the historic Big Oak trees that call this magical place home.
Our host and one of the best in the industry do to it, the crew at Valdosta Wake Compound worked countless hours building and rearranging the advanced 2.0 cable for the contest. With skateboarding being a key fundamental in wakeskating, the VWC crew went above and beyond to create a layout with hubba ledges , handrails, and stair-set style drops. Read More >

It’s not a myth that apex predators still roam the vast landscapes of Earth, and one pack in particular has been making enough noise to be heard around the globe. Zuupack!!! As they are known in their spiritual form are a dynamic group of young riders running wild since being re-released from their South Florida enclosures following the pandemic of 2020.

Connect, Share, Celebrate and Serve. It’s what Wake for Warriors does!
“I needed this!”… a phrase heard several times over the weekend here on Lake Allatoona for event #4 of the 2021 Wake for Warriors season. A sense of deep gratitude came over the water as a reflection of how exciting and confident we all were in cherishing these special moments following the pandemic. The BuyWake crew joined Dave Deep, founder of WFW, and the rest of the group for another inspiring weekend full of blue skies, lake vibes, and shakas all around!

Kicking off the event, the chilly air of Friday morning lifted just as the coffee ran out and the riders started to shed their wetsuits. Boats were stocked with a quiver of wakeboards, wakesurfers and CGA vests provided by the good folks from Hyperlite Wake. For the new-goers, the day as a whole was an introduction to the healing power of water sports, and the more experienced veterans were captivated by a new challenge of foiling. Read More >
