The Return of Mike Dowdy

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.

Go get ’em Dirty Mike Dowdy.

2015 better watch out.

Dylan Miller – Pushin’

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.

Justin Lee “Saturated”

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.

2014 Pro Wakeboard Tour Acworth Georgia

Summer for us is always kicked off with the first stop of the Pro Wakeboard Tour at Dallas Landing in Acworth, Georgia.   The Tour always brings out the best in Acworth every year.  It  introduces wakeboarding to people and families.  We have so many people stop by the Ambush and BuyWake.com tent asking our team about ways to get involved in wakeboarding.  The beach and shoreline is filled with all different kinds of people, whether it’s their 5th year in a row being out there to families stumbling across the contest by accident on a random Saturday.  Not only is there a great turn out on the beach, but the city of Acworth puts on an amazing block party in the heart of downtown every year.  They have so much going on into the night with live bands, food and booze stands along with all the restaurants putting on amazing specials.  Each year the city of Acworth throws down a solid job of hosting the first stop of the tour.

The Nautique Open Golf Tournament at Callaway Gardens | The 55th Masters

Titlest Pro V1 Nautique Ball
Nautique Golf Ball

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.
