The first annual FreezeRide at TSR (Texas Ski Ranch) was a huge success this year.  CWB Board Co. team rider, Gabe Lucas took first place in the Wakeboard boat division without even getting wet.  Gabe stomped all his airs and finished by riding into the shore staying dry and warm.

It's about time wakeboarders get a cable park on the west coast!  Desert Wake is in full production working hard to complete five lakes by Spring 2011.  A combination of cable parks and boat lakes will consume most of the property but there will also be a skate park, golf range and pools for all.

To top is all off, the pro shop will be completely stocked with CWB Board Co. products including the very popular Cable specific Vibe and xFaction boards.

Check out the Desert Wake website for more info.

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:
