Well we did it again…we survived another fun filled weekend at the Nautique Masters at Callaway Garden with industry friends, Athletes, and family! We were pretty sure the rain would keep us down, but thankfully we only got hit with rain once or twice for a short amount of time. Robin Lake went off with the best crowd cheering on the most elite athletes in the world!
Cheers to all that competed this year and we can’t wait to be back next year! Congrats to Reed, Meagan, and Harley on their wins! Stars on the water, warriors in the sun! Big thanks go out to all the Nautique crew who put on this event and our Hyperlite support from Ebev and Mike!
Today Rockstar released the highlight video for Yardsale II that went down at April 27th and 28th at the Valdosta Wake Compound. Watch the main event video now. Be looking for the team video edits to be dropping next week.
If you were at Yardsale last year at Valdosta Wake Compound then there was no way you would miss out on this year’s Yardsale II. This year’s format consisted of a main event on the full size cable combined with a six group video contest all going down in a three-day time span. Yardsale II did not disappoint!
Friday was a full day of qualifying for the main event with regional riders and international riders all gunning for the top spot to get into the main show. Our homie Brock Baker from Texas put in DOWN in his run and barely missed out to Dary Znebel, proving his level of talent. We can’t wait to see more of him this season. By the end of the day everything was set for the main event, but we couldn’t call it a night without a killer party. Trust us…the party was all time.
On Saturday we all woke up to perfect Valdosta, GA, weather. With a slight breeze and a high in the low ’80s, we were in full Coachella of the South mode. Levi Dills was rocking out the STZ booth doing custom tie-dye T-shirts and the creativity was on high. The finals on the main cable was made up of of arguably the world’s best park riders, featuring the likes of Daniel Grant, James Windsor, Blake Bishop, Liam Peacock, Willam Lang, and many others. When the dust settled the podium consisted of Liam Peacock (1st), William Klang (2nd), and Dary Znebel (3rd).
We can’t wait for you all to see the video that was shot this year. There were 3-4 drones and boss man behind the lens Cole Vanthof got some of the sickest shots. The main event video will drop along with six different team videos from the weekend. It’s safe to say there are more jaw-dropping moves coming out of VWC then any cable park on the planet right now. As soon as videos are up on Alliance you will have the opportunity to vote for your favorite team edit. We promise to keep you posted. Below are some images from the weekend as well as a few of our Instagram posts of the madness. Make sure you follow us and keep up!
Casual maneuvers with @blakebishop05 and his white Jordan’s 🤔 @slingshotwake #yardsale2
What a wild four days of wakeboarding competition we had here in Acworth, Georgia! The worlds best Wakeboarders descended upon Lake Allatoona for the 2017 Nautique Wakeboard Nationals and it was nothing short of action packed. BuyWake Team Riders Harley Clifford, Mike Dowdy, and Noah Flegel topped the Podium for a full BuyWake sweep and each took home arguably one of the coolest trophies. The Wakeskating was a little touch and go due to the conditions on the water, but Reed Hansen came out on top and proved once again he knows how to compete no matter the conditions. On the women’s podium BuyWake Team Rider Nicola Butler came in second place just behind Nautique Athelete Meagan Ethell who charged it all day to take the win.
Checkout some of the highlights of the #WakeboardNationals
The 58th Nautique Masters
This past weekend we traveled to Pine Mountain, GA, to Callaway Gardens to attend the Masters Water Ski and Wakeboard Tournament presented by Nautique. Ambush Board Co. has been at this event for 20 years with a merch tent with one of the best views of the action on Robin Lake. Going into the weekend everyone was buzzing about what would the Pro Men’s Wakeboard podium end up looking like. We got to see a four man final of Tony Iacconi, Cory Teunissen, Harley Clifford, and Mike Dowdy, and it was absolutely mental! We predicted a Harley vs. Dowdy showdown and after seeing Cory crush it we knew it would be a toss-up because his run was mind-blowing.
The WWA has a really good highlight on Instagram:
Watch Noah’s Winning Run
Noah absolutely crushed it this weekend in the wakesurf division at the Pro Wake Tour. Noah has been on a tear as of late, not only on his wakeboard, but…of course, also on his wakesurfer. Noah proves that riding behind his Nautique G23 is paying off and he can lay down anything. Check it out:
Noah’s personal wakesurf board from Hyperlite is a wakesurfer’s dream. Try it out yourself! Shop Hyperlite Hi-Fi.
BuyWake.com Team Riders Top the Podium
What a weekend! In case you missed it, the first stop of the 2017 Pro Wake Tour was in Birmingham, Alabama and competitive wakeboarding is at an all-time high right now. BuyWake.com team riders Harley Clifford and Mike Dowdy are total warriors battling against each other on the water this year. One of the heaviest and hardest things to do after injury in get back to riding shape, and both Mike and Harley took no days off in the off-season rebuilding their bodies to peak performance. If you follow them on Instagram you can see the insane tricks they have in their respective arsenals, and they’re bringing these tricks to the tour. Congrats to Harley for winning the 1st stop of PWT, but with the way Mike is riding he is sure to take a win very soon (only 1.17 points separated them…so you know it’s coming).
