Several seasoned riders missed the cut into the finals, but one rider that made it that had everyone stoked was JD Webb. Webb a veteran contest rider made his way through hard work and technical tricks and was dubbed the Peoples Champ that weekend.

“I love how forgiving the Pearl is” – Corrie Wilson
Corrie has been shredding the Slingshot Pearl for years and she absolutely loves it. If you were fortunate enough to see The Voyage then you know how good she rides! One of her newest adventures is she now works for The World Wakeboard Association (The WWA) to help market and promote all the events for the season. To top that off she also competes in the women’s division and is a contender a just about every stop! Basically, Corrie is a rockstar and if she is backing the Pearl then you know it’s good!
Are you a girl looking to get into wakeboarding? Do you want a board that can shred behind the boat and your local cable park? If your answer is yes, then the 2015 Slingshot Pearl is for you. Do you want the total package? Pair the Pearl with the Jewel bindings for the ultimate wakeboard set up!
If you’re ready to rip, the 2015 Pearl is for you. Featuring the Future Response Technology and ES Base, this board is great for both the boat and the cable. It takes on the wake well and is perfect for rail riding with the continuous rocker. This is one of the friendliest boards on the market right now. Easy transition from edge to edge and max comfort in the stance adjustment. This one is a no-brainer and it doesn’t hurt that the graphic is super cute!
These boots are a real gem. The 2015 Jewel features dual zone closure which includes a laced lower and a Velcro upper. This closure system is designed to maximize your comfort and ability to adjust. Enjoy the bottomless base system which will give you the total boot to board experience.
Here is a great video of Corrie riding the Pearl.

This year the WWA released a world series bigger than anything we have seen before. Seriously, the locations and prize money are the best it has ever been. We sat down with Corrie Wilson and she helped to answer some of our questions regarding the upcoming 2015 Wakeboard World Series.
BW: So first things first – $425,000 is a ton of chedder. How did you all manage to pull such funds? “The 2015 Wakeboard World Series is unlike anything wake sports has seen in the past including the largest payout ever offered”
The WWA: We really wanted to raise the bar this year for the Wakeboard World Series. The WWA’s partners, both domestically and internationally, all share our vision for the future of wakeboarding. Everyone got together and really stepped up for this year’s Wakeboard World Series; we couldn’t be more excited. It wouldn’t be possible without great partners like Rockstar Energy Drink, Nautique, Malibu, Supra, and many others for being dedicated to the sport.
BW: The 2015 WBWS is composed of 9 stops all over the world – How did the locations get chosen and are there locations that didn’t work out?
The WWA sanctions events all over the world and this year we really wanted to create a global series. The Malibu Cancun Pro was a huge success in 2014 thus we naturally wanted to bring it back for 2015. Japan is one of the coolest spots from back in the day and everyone’s excited to bring it back into the mix. For the first time we will be visiting Portugal, which is an emerging opportunity in the European market for the sport as a whole. We had a couple other opportunities that didn’t work out, but that was strictly due to timing. We plan to continue to grow the global reach with each year moving forward.
BW: The term “Setting a new standard in Wakeboarding” is being used – Does having all the major boat manufactures coming together for this prove that we are going in the right direction for competitive wakeboarding?
Our goal is to change how contests are run as whole and indeed set a new standard. From how athletes are treated, to changing the individual contests to custom fit each market. There are many steps we are taking to enhance and grow wakeboarding.
BW: As for the Men vs. Women earnings can you comment on the prize amount for each 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place? Read More >
