You.

The Governor of Cam Sur and the maestro of this Philippines cable masterpiece, L Ray Villafuerte, is hosting the greatest gathering of professional riders at one place this September, for one of the most incredible contests ever dreamed up. As a multiple-time WWA event host, Cam Sur is putting the final touches on the Ultimate Wake Championship — a new combination of wake sports that combines Boat, Cable and Winch into one exciting format. Details are forthcoming, but we thought you’d like to hear about it here first. As details become available, check the WWA website (subscribe via RSS!) or follow the source itself, CWC.

“On Friday over 35 boat crews started the Chill and Ride 2010 off with the qualifications of the wakesurfing ladies’ and wakesurfing men’s contests. Especially the skim-style wakesurfing viceworld champion Dominic Lagace, who came all the way from Canada only for this event,
impressed the proficient audience. Besides the Canadian the freshly crowned and three times German champion Tobias Reißmann also came up with an outstanding performance. The ladies’ competition quickly revealed that the defending Chill and Ride champion, Korina Smyrek, was the woman to beat.

The highlight of the day was surely the men‘s amateur competition. On a warm and sunny day and in front of a huge crowd the amateurs were competing for three entry spots for the pro contest. Alex Neuwirth showed massive KGBs and landed in third place. The places one and two went to the Swiss Andy Meyenberg and Marc Müller. Andy showed a extremely solid run with big spins and inverts and rightly took first place.

In the evening the first after-show party kicked off and the Chill and Ride DJs Jan and Daniel as well as SWR DAS DING provided the party-crowd with the right tunes to celebrate late into the
following morning hours.

The wakeboarding team challenge was the big competition on Saturday, while the hosts Harry and Sandro were entertaining the audience with informative and humorous commentating. Altogether
ten different crews had registered for the team challenge, but it became obvious quiet quickly that first place would be made out under the two teams of Sebastian Spielmann‘s WATERWORLDLAND.

Some of the big names which rode for the WATERWORLDLAND teams were the new european champion Dan Nott, the ‘Bavarian Machine‘ Bernhard Hinterberger and former world champion Robbie Rando from Argentina. In the end it was WATERWORLDLAND 1, consisting of Lucas Langlois, Dan Nott, Cyril Cornaro and Robbie Rando, that won the team challenge and the L‘TUR travel vouchers that came with it.
Sunday‘s competition started with the finals of the wakesurfing contests. Here no big surprises really happened and as supposed Korina Smyrek and Dominic Lagace dominated their competitors. Korina showed nice cuts and the highest airs and took home the victory in the ladies‘ contest. Dominic impressed with massively grabbed airs, insane spins, such as 1080s, and well performed skateboard manoeuvres such as Bigspins and Shuve-Its.

Next on the agenda were the qualifications of the men‘s pro contest. The performance-level was really high during the whole qualifications and many riders could please the numerous spectators.

However, it was Dan Nott from the United Kingdom, who was on top of his game and seemed to be the crowed‘s favourite. Along with Dan, Yann Calvez, Alex Neuwirth, Bernhard Hinterberger, Andy Meienberg, Lucas Langlois were the riders that made the cut into the final. While giving the men some rest, it was time for the ladies‘ final. Here it was a competition of the big names, which ended for Elke Venken with third place. It were Lauriane Masson and Robbie Rando who fought a close battle for victory. Both showed perfect rolls, spins and grabs, but in the
end it was Robbie who left the best impression on the judges and claimed first place.

The men‘s final started off with Alex Neuwirth, who unfortunately crashed early on during his run. Similarly, Lucas Langlois and Yann Calvez both seemed to have gotten on their nerves and could not fulfil high expectations. Bernhard Hinterberger, whose terrain is actually the cable, seized the opportunity and finished in third position by demonstrating huge frontflip tailgrabs, Whirlybirds and several different spins. Andy Meyenberg, who made his way all through the amateur‘s contest, surprised with a second place. He combined good tricks, including the KGB in a clean run and was only beaten by the outstanding performance of Dan Nott. Dan backed his excellent
performance throughout the qualifications with Whirlys, KGB and off-axis spins with good style and became the Chill and Ride champion 2010.

The incredible NISSAN Chill & Ride collection war also shown during the event – available now! All in all the Chill and Ride 2010 came to a happy end for everybody involved. It provided an eventful weekend and celebrated wakeboarding worthily. Therefore, big thanks go out to the sponsors NISSAN, WATERWORLDLAND and STAGE CONCEPT, the riders, the boat crews and everybody who helped to create this wonderful event.”

On September 27-October 30, the world’s finest cable riders are converging on Hip-Notics cable park, in Antalya, Turkey, for the fourth stop of the WWA Wake Park World Series, at the world’s largest gathering of competitive cable riders. Hip-Notics, long known as one of the most beautiful places to ride, is hosting what is shaping up to be the largest cable world championship in history.

“Our early entries are through the roof,” says WWA chief Shannon Starling. “We chose Hip-Notics and Antalya to host the Wake Park Worlds for so many reasons — perfect conditions, proximity to Europe and the Middle East, and a great host organizer — but we never expected to see such a massive turnout. This is going to be one of the best contests and epic events in the history of cable.”

If you can win here, you can win anywhere. Sign up now, right here. For information on schedules, visit the WWA site here.

The final stop is an open registration, meaning anyone can enter. Simply fill out at Registration Form by clicking here. Or, you can find all the information, including running order, host hotel or prize money breakdowns right here. Don’t delay — there are only a few days left until registration closes, and you don’t need to swallow a $50 late fee.

See you on the podium, .

Plans for the new water-sports complex, which will be located near Pearland, were announced today by Peter Kennedy, who is a partner in a similar cable wakeboarding park in Cincinnati, Ohio. Construction on the new Houston water-sports park will begin immediately with an anticipated opening in Spring, 2011.

“We are very excited about bringing the area’s only full-scale cable wakeboarding park to Houston,” Kennedy said, “and we look forward to joining the many great family attractions this area already has to offer.”

“Wakeboarding is the country’s fastest growing water sport,” said Mike Olson, Director of Business Development for the Wake Nation brand. “The cable system approach to wakeboarding and water skiing is particularly attractive to those without access to their own boats.” Since riders are pulled around the lake by an overhead cable system, there is no need for loud and often polluting motor boats, he added. Currently, there are only 10 full-scale cable wakeboarding parks in the U.S.

Wake Nation Houston will be located in Rosharon, near Pearland, south of the Sam Houston Parkway, 20 minutes from downtown Houston.

“Wake Nation Houston is being designed to provide the ultimate rider experience to both first timers and experienced boarders,” says Kennedy. “Beginners love that wakeboarding is fun, easy to learn, and allows everyone to progress at their own pace. Advanced riders love cable parks because of the unique opportunity to hit the many grind rails, ramps and floating jumps that are rarely accessible to those who ride behind boats.” Riders are welcome to bring their own gear to the park, or they can rent their equipment from us. The rental shop will include wakeboards, water-ski’s, kneeboards, helmets, life vests and wet suits all at reasonable pricing.

All riders must be at least 5 years of age and are required to wear a Coast Guard Approved (CGA) life vest and helmet.

Wake Nation Houston will be a “pay-as-you-play” facility. Parking and admission to the water sports complex will be FREE, including access to a large outdoor observation deck that offers a panoramic view of the entire lake area. Riders will pay only for “water time,” typically around $25 for two hours. The Wake Nation complex will also have a full pro shop, concessions area and numerous other services and amenities. Wake Nation will offer special group rates and several season pass options.

Wake Nation Cincinnati opened in May 2009 to rave reviews from the local community as well as professional wakeboarders worldwide. The venue has already hosted several nationally sanctioned tournaments, won several “best of” awards and this past June set a Guinness World Record for longest distance traveled on a wakeboard in a 24-hour period.

The backbone of this creative project is the Cable wakeboard and wakeskate championship in with about fifty participants from Croatia and Slovenia competing for the prestigious title of national champions.

This will be the seventh Croatian wakeboard championship and the results will be scored for a final order of the Croatian wakeboard tour (Crikvenica-Krk-Pag-Porec) and for the world IWWF ranking list with prize money of 120,000 USD.

The event will be accompanied by DJ Preddy (Personal rec.) from Austria, DJ K-Pow from Slovenia and DJ Sony Wokman and DJ Jericho both members of the Balance Crew  from Rijeka, who will be spicing the atmosphere with sounds of hip hop, R’n'B, funk and reggae.

Skateboarders will be showing off their skills on a mini ramp located on the parking facility, and the graffiti writers will be portraying the retaining wall on highway D-102 (Krk-Baska) right next to the Wakeboard centre Cable Krk. In collaboration with Club Jungle in Krk, the popular R’n'B Exclusive party will be held on 4^th September. A well known group from Rijeka “Fanatiks” will also be recording a song called ”Cable Krk Jam”, uplifting the whole event together.

The event organizers are non-profit organizations ”Wakeboard club Krk” and “Balance” from Rijeka. The goal of this project is the affiliation of wakeboarders, skateboarders, graffiti artists and all other admirers of music, fashion and this whole lifestyle which makes this event a unique weekend of sports and entertainment.

All interested parties are invited to join us and support this sport and cultural event. For more info visit www.wakeboarder.hr, and like us at www.facebook.com/cablekrk.

Hamburg, my action sports capital! Sunday, the 29^th of August, saw a lot of amazing things happening at the third stop of the WWA Wake Park World Series 2010, which took place at the Telekom Extreme Playgrounds premises in Pinneberg’s Waterski Arena. In front of roughly 5.000 fans, 32 top athletes of the disciplines Wakeboard and Wakeskate Cable, as well as BMX Miniramp, battled it out for the prize purse of 40.000 US-Dollars. 17-year-old Frederic von Osten delivered the wakeboarding sensation by putting the complete world elite behind himself. In the wakeskating department, 17-year-old Tarik Ghoniem (Newhouse/Cuxhaven) secured his first place, while last year’s BMX Miniramp winner Mark Webb simply did it again, just better. The right type of music for this kind of entertainment was provided by Millencolin, Sublime with Rome and headlining act Gentleman!

A perfect sensation! Frederic „Freddy“ von Osten, 17 years of age, beats the complete wakeboarding world elite, including two times World Champion Nick Davies (UK) and Tom Fooshee (USA) – who was unbeaten in Hamburg for the last three years. Being a local completely paid off for Freddy. This amazing talent had the following tricks in his winning run: Mobe and Crow Mobe 5, Frontside 700 over the Kicker, Frontside 450 Transfer on the skatebox, 5 Roll to Blind, Olli on the rail, 315 and a Switch Tailglide over the kicker! The wakeskaters had their share of excitement as well, as the final was an all German one. Acting IWWF Junior World Champion Tarik Ghoniem clearly was the strongest contestant, leaving Moritz Thiele (Berlin), Lukas Süß (Duisburg) and Jan Grabski (Giessen) to take ranks two to four.

Last year’s winner Mark Webb (UK) did it again and took the first place easily. Michael Beran (CZE) and Ben Wallace (UK) shredded into positions two and three.

Another gem of the day were the Best Trick competitions, and they were British all the way: Alex Coleburn (BMX Miniramp) and Nick Davies (Wakeboard Cable) went most berserk and took their titles to the noise of an amazed crowd.

In between competitions, the festival stage delivered the matching sounds. Swedish punk rockers Millencolin opened the musical program with their second appearance at the Telekom Playgrounds and got the crowd going really good. But when Sublime with Rome entered the stage, the crowd immediately turned into one happy monster. Founded in the nineties, the legendary ska-punk band returned onto a European stage after 14 years of absence, featuring their new singer Rome. The grand sound finale was delivered by headlining act Gentleman. Germany’s most successful Reggae artist delivered songs like “Different Places”, “Intoxication” and his current single “To The Top”, and brought a lot of musical sunshine, making everyone forget that it was actually raining.

“It could not have been any better“, organizer Lars-Oliver Vogt of NICE Productions GmbH is happy to say. “I feel very honored that Sublime with Rome played their first European gig after 14 years at the Telekom Extreme Playgrounds. Hamburg has the best audience in the World! They stayed until the end, despite the rain!”

All the highlights of the Telekom Playgrounds can be seen on Sport1, September 11th, 13:00h.

Telekom Playgrounds winner Frederic von Osten will be a guest at TV Total on Pro7 on Wednesday, September 1^st, 23:15h.
