It’s not every day you get to one up Hugh Hefner, but WAKEBOARDING managed to do just that in the case of Amber Brietzke, winner of WAKEBOARDING and CWB's April Chicks Contest. That’s right, Hef, Amber was a WAKEBOARDING Chick before she was a Playboy Playmate — if only for a few days. A week after the wake-loving 21-year-old from Austin, Texas, won our contest, she shot a photo feature that will run in Playboy this summer. We talked to Amber about how she got into wakeboarding, what she looks for in a guy and how she scored that photo shoot with Playboy.
How long have you been wakeboarding and how did you get into it? Five years. I got into wakeboarding from some buddies who ride and they taught me.
What’s your favorite thing to do on a wakeboard? A scarecrow.
Describe your perfect day. My perfect day would include going out on the boat and shredding all day. I love water and love sports so going on the boat is always a perfect day. Also I love getting a good tan!
What’s your favorite place to ride? i enjoy riding on my favorite lake,
Lake Travis.
What boat do you ride behind? A MasterCraft X-Star
You live close to Texas Ski Ranch. Ever ride the cable? I ride the cable a couple hours every week. Love it!
What do you do for a living? I’m a professional model and student at Texas State University.
How long have you been modeling and what are some of the bigger things you’ve done? I have been modeling since I was five. I have been in Seventeen magazine and on Friday Night Lights. I also did a photo shoot with Playboy earlier this month.
Wow, congrats. How did that come about? One of my friends is a Playmate and her Playboy photographer asked her about me. We talked and scheduled a shoot and I got picked after shooting. It’s great to have connections in the industry. It is all about luck overall.
Ever do any wakeboarding-related modeling? I did a shoot for [Austin Nautique Boats dealer] Sail and Ski, but it was a long time ago. I would love to do another one. I love wakeboarding and modeling.
Who’s your favorite rider? Adam Errington, because he is perfect at every trick that he does. He is never afraid to try new things and is always doing something rad. He is also a sweetheart and a great person! Cutie!
Turn-ons? Wakeboarders and six packs
Turn-offs? Sloppy and hairy men

Austin, TX was the host of the 2010 Collegiate Wakeboard Nationals – 16 teams nation wide competed and battled it out for the national title. CWB was a primary sponsor so I decided to show up and spread the love. The CWB booth was going off. We teamed up right next to the U of Texas tent, and we were the life of the party for sure. We had tons of giveaways, plenty of boards on display for everyone to pick up and check out, and a huge raffle for some of the new 2010 CWB gear. The crowd was psyched. It felt good to give back and support the riders. Congrats to all the teams that qualified, and congrats to the University of Texas team for taking it home and keeping it the title in Texas.

Cablestock went off this year. It seems like everyone came out for the biggest and most diverse cable stock yet. New for this year was the Monster Winch Jam Invitational. With the addition of a winch contest Cablestock 2010 covered every aspect of the sport. Highlights were the Rukus mini ramp comp, bikini contest, and live performance by Mickey Avalon. I'm not quite the fan of his music, but the party was bangin'!!
Good Vibes – Gabe
