Wednesday, August 25th, 2010

The Orlando Watersports Complex was lined with fans anxious to watch all the divisions compete for the Wakeboard World Championship title.

The Pro Men's division turned out to be quite the exciting finale with Trevor Hansen, Danny Harf, the Soven Brothers and Dean Smith all competing in the semi finals.

Our own, Trevor Hansen took the podium in 3rd place with a very impressive run scoring a 66.67!

"I am on cloud 9 right now. Had an awesome weekend at the Worlds. Rode the best I have ridden all year and ended up in 3rd. So pumped," Trevor said via Twitter.

Also, CWB's Stu Shinn ripped it up in the Wakeskate division rounding out the podium with a 3rd place finish scoring a 71.67.

We would definitely like to congratulate both, Trevor and Stu on their solid riding!

2010 Feet on Fire: Barefoot Tournament

Tuesday, August 24th, 2010

August 23rd, 2010 is not only the National Sponge Cake Day (seriously… Google that), it was also the day of the sixth annual Feet on Fire extravaganza. Those not familiar with Feet on Fire, it is a barefoot tournament for professional non-barefooters. The top 30 wakeboarders compete in a head to head format to see who will be crowned the Feet on FIre Champion. Our own Zane "really small feet…" Schwenk has competed for the past few years and came out on top in 2008.

This year, Andrew "What is barefooting?" Adkison also joined the festivities. Andrew had been training hard for the event by never barefooting before.

Well wouldn't you know it, Zane took the 2010 crown in flamboyant style. Not only did he beat out last years champion Shawn Watson, but also Bob Soven's mom and some teenage girl who was passing by and decided to try to barefoot.

Zane is a true champion.

Huge thanks to Dano the Mano for making it happen.
