On January 8th wakeboard enthusiasts strapped in for the Third Annual Polar Bear Ride and raised money for Wishing Star.

Even in the cold, amenities made wakeboarding in January bearable. Riders bundled up under dry suits and huddled around massive heaters between sets. The hotel hot tub, coffee and hot cocoa also helped get our blood flowing. Everyone downed about five cups of coffee prior to riding.

The Polar Bear Ride (PBR) is by far one of our favorite NW wakeboard events, not just because we are riding in January, but because it feels great to get on the water for a cause. We are still waiting on the final numbers, but last we heard we raised over $1500 for a child in need.

Tri-City Riders, Sporthaus, Malibu Boats, CWB Board Co. and the Clover Island Hotel all made this event possible. A huge thank you to them!

CWB's, Gabe Lucas just gave us the update from the Philippines at CWC reporting from the Ultimate Wake Championship.

"Everyone's riding has been unreal," Gabe mentioned.  Gabe already made it past the first round of the rail ponds competition and so far it's looking pretty good.

Andrew Adkison, Trevor Hansen, Gabe Lucas, Nick Jones and Kaesen Suyderhoud all met up with C-Lo, CWB Board Co.'s dealer/distributor from Stoked. They made their way to the local shop for introductions and autographs. 

There will soon be video footage from all the action at Camsur Watersports Complex.

Until then, here is something to keep you busy:

January 20 – 23, 2011- An Alabama tradition since 1972,  the Birmingham Boat Show featuring special guest appearances from CWB Board Co.'s, Derek Grasman.  Guests can get photos and autographs from this pro wakeboarder at the boat show.

Check out this clip of Derek Grasman:

CWB Board Co. welcomes Kaesen Suyderhoud to our global wake team!

Seattle, WA – CWB Board Co. is stoked to announce the signing of Kaesen Suyderhoud to our international and pro team.  Kaesen adds even more depth to our already talented “Good Vibes” crew consisting of Clay Fletcher and, lone star state legend, Gabe Lucas.   Whether it’s park, winch, boat, or cable – Kaesen is a disciple of all facets of wake.  We hope to send Kaesen to the far corners of the earth spreading Good Vibes and motivate riders all around the world.  In fact, our friends from the other side of the pond, Unleashed Wakeboard Magazine, had this to say about their cover boy in their 2010 December issue:

“Kaesen Suyderhoud is a rider that represents our vision of wakeboarding to a T. He’s part of this generation that’s inspired by all the current boardsports.  In the winter he snowboards.  In summer, he wakeboards and at night, he’s either at the skate park or neck deep in video editing.  Basically, in our eyes, Kaesen is one of the world’s most stylish riders.”

We couldn’t have said it any better ourselves.
