New to the wake scene is a killer new site called The Outsiders. With a diverse stance on Wake x Art x Music x Culture they are supplying some fresh air to this industry. The site just launched on Monday and it already has a good amount of content that you need to check out. The “Not Just Another Harley Interview” is a good one and he lets you in on some interesting events in his life thus far. Another fun and fresh section is the 20 under 20 and it starts of with AmbushBoardCo team rider Blake Bishop…aka the future heartbreaker. Definitely bookmark this site and stay up with core wake culture…you won’t be disappointed.
ODYSSEY – FULL MOVIE
One of our favorite things to watch are films done by riders for riders. Watch Chris O’Shea and his friends rip around this planet and ride some of the best cable parks in the world. The film has a great mix of style and some of the best drone footage we’ve seen in some time. Enjoy!
Watch the film on UnionWakeboarder.
ODYSSEY – 12 MONTHS IN THE MAKING
Odyssey is a short film documenting the travels of Mitch Langfield and Chris O’Shea from April 2013 to April 2014 through France, Spain, Germany, Holland, England, Wales, Thailand, Australia, The Philippines.
“Everywhere you go you meet up with riders… We started collecting footage of us and Aaron Gunn in Europe last summer. Since then, in Australia, the US, Thailand and the Philippines we’ve shot James Windsor, Manu Rupp, Antoni Van der Wekken. Ben Leclair, Graeme Burress, Daniel Grant, Brad Mason… We basically filmed anyone who we liked. If we liked their riding then we filmed them. And us two (Mitch Langfield and Chris O’Shea), obviously!” Mitch Langfield.
Nautique G21 | The Top 6 Spots to Sit in the Boat
Where is the best place to sit in a Nautique?
The Top 6 Sports to Sit in the Boat
1) The Captain’s chair means it’s your boat or you are deserving of the title “Capitan” while the owner takes a set.
2) The Portside DJ. It’s that simple! You are second in command and typically in charge of the playlist…don’t blow it. Boat mix 2015!
3) Bow party. Typically known as the sunbathing beauty area, you can now seat up to four comfortably in most new boats (i.e. the Nautique G21)
4) The bench. This used to be a bad spot, but with Nautique’s rear-facing capability, it’s one of the most chill spots ever! It’s not where you’re going, it’s where you’ve been.
5) Starboard side bench. This used to be a neck breaker, but now that you’ve got a backrest and are positioned right behind the driver, you’re sure to move up the ranks, as you might be relaying info to the driver via person being pulled behind the boat.

Wakeboards – New Board Shapes for 2015
Spring Training Team Announced | The Wakeskate Tour
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!
