What do you do when Hyperlite wants you to take a few days off work, come down to Florida, and attend this years Shreducation? YOU GO!
We packed up the truck early and ripped out of ATL around 5:00 AM for a quick stop in Valdosta to slap hi fives with the homies at Valdosta Wake Compound. If you get a chance to swing through, make sure you’ve got your board with you because this place needs to be on your bucket list!
We landed in Orlando around 2:00 PM and were able to squeeze in a little round of golf on the front 9 with Jeff Langley and Marc Rossiter. Thanks for the laughs, fellas. We look forward to a full round of golf with you guys soon!
Fast forward to 5:00 PM and we pull into Orlando Watersports Complex, the hub of pretty much all cable riding in Orlando. Talk about being BLOWN OUT! White caps everywhere, but it wasn’t enough to keep folks from ripping! Read More >
Once a year major players in the wake, surf, and skate communities travel to Orlando, Florida, for the madness that is Surf Expo. Every established brand is there and every new brand with their new product is there to say, “Hey, look at me!” As the well-established wake-specific ecommerce business that we are, we do our part and attend for a few reasons. This year one of the biggest reasons to attend was to be a part of the Alliance Wake Premiers and Beers video releases. Our team rider and up-and-coming videographer, Cole Vanthof, has been working on a few projects that we and Ambush Board Co. wanted to share with the world.
The main video is the final project of a series from the boys down at Valdosta Wake Compound. The Coalition web edit series that the boys did this past year was hot fire…so it only made sense to made The Coalition The Movie. Cole not only had his hand in filming, but he also had some sick riding in it as well. Next up was a video project we did with team rider, Alex Graydon. Cole spent two months with Alex filming all around his home in Alabama. Yes, Alabama has some pretty sweet lakes, and Alex has a home Sesitec 2.0 setup called The Woods. The appropriately titled ALa-Cruzin was a huge success and everyone in attendance went wild. You can now view it in its entirety HERE on Alliance. Another video project Cole had been working on was with team rider and rising young buck, Blake Bishop, fittingly titled UNTAMED. Cole and Blake filmed at #BTOWNCOMPOUND, Blake’s personal cable park, and hit some heavy winch missions from the Atlanta streets to the Allatoona creeks. It’s a super diverse video and the crowd’s reaction was at an all-time high! Everyone was feeling the film and its trap track that went so perfectly with the edit. If you know Blake, then you’ll understand the music no doubt. Alliance Wake will be dropping the full-length part on Monday, September 19th, so…get ready. Read More >
Last weekend we had the opportunity to go visit the Marine Max Buford location and meet up with our Nautique Boats family! They were in town for a “Ride with the Pros” event then headed to the Nautique Wake Surf Nationals and guess what…they had a 2016 G23! It was great catching up with Noah Flegel and Jimmy LaRiche, and our longtime friend and rep for Hyperlite/Byerly, Eddie Beverly. Eddie, or “EBev,” as he is most known by, had a special treat for us to see with a quiver of 2016 Hyperlite and Byerly surfers. We must say that these two brands knocked it out of the park this year. Most notably Hyperlite has this insane new shape called “The Time Machine.” Seriously, if you know anything about surfing this board is similar to the Tomo surfboards Vader series, but tweaked for wakesurfing. If that weren’t enough, the Time Machine features a cork top for maximum grip, as well as all new Futures Fins! The Byerly crew also have another banger with the 2016 Action, as it features Durashell construction with a EPS core and yes, Byerly Futures Fins! You would be wise to add either one of these to your quiver. Read More >

We put together some of the best products and deals from each of the top brands in the industry just for you. It goes without saying that having the right gear at the best price is what we provide 24/7/365.
1. Hyperlite Kit
Hot out the gate one of the baddest boards for 2015 is the 2015 Hyperlite Union. Graeme Burress showed us all what this board can do at every cable park he visited. Another popular item this year that’s packed with comfort are the 2015 Team Closed Toe bindings. If you don’t start with the proper footwear, everything else goes downhill. Life vests aren’t always the most fashion things, but the 2015 Flex Vest looks great and provides plenty of movement and its U.S. Coast Guard approved rating means that it could save your life at the cable park or behind the boat. Speaking of boat, if you’re rocking behind a Nautique or anything with a motor pick up this great 2015 Webb Handle and pair it with the 2015 X-Line for the best connection in wakeboarding. Add it all up and you’ll save $361.05…that’s a lot of gas money. Read More >
