You know there must be no greater feeling than winning Rider of The Year! How about three guys in your crew making it? That’s the news you will see in this years Alliance Wake Photo Annual. Shredtown has been making a name for themselves for some time now and with their most recent film Drop The Gun all but solidified it. For years they have pushed winching and getting creative at unique spots and with the new addition of the Shredtown compound where they have their own System 2.0 that’s when things elevated at a higher level. Congrats Andrew, Davis, and Chris on all the hard work and we all look forward to more unique videos in the future!
We love September for three reasons: next year’s product is dropping, the heaviest season edits are being uploaded, and of course Surf Expo – the annual “active lifestyle” trade show in Orlando where the air is tinged with new gear, swimsuit models, and wakeboarding’s elite. We attended Surf Expo this past weekend to get the lowdown on everything 2014 and bump elbows with our industry brethren. It was a wild ride but we persevered. Here’s some of the highlights straight from the floor.
