Westbound Boarder

Believe it or not, wakeboard season is coming up quickly!  And there’s one thing I love almost just as much as boarding myself, and that’s watching the real pros do it.  Summer wake shows are so much fun, and I always love watching the sick tricks they can do.  However, I’ve never seen anything like the Red Bull Wake Lab before (seriously, watch the video.  It’s a minute long and it’s frickin’ awesome!)  Basically, the Red Bull Wake Lab is like an entire skate park on water, and April 4 – 5 in Tempe, AZ, you can watch the pros hit it big during its second show.  

Red Bul Wake Lab made its debut in Orlando, FL in September of last year, where the company invited 24 pro riders to check out the park.  The course was influenced by skate and snow parks and lives to really test the limits of wakeboarding to see just how far it can go.

If your interested in attending the Red Bull Wake Lab this weekend, a ticket for the 2009 Circle K Tempe Music Festival is required. Tickets can be purchased at www.livenation.com, www.tempemusicfestival.com, Dodge Theatre Box Office, Tempe Market Place Guest Services or by phone at 1-800-594-TIXX. Advance tickets will be priced at $35.00 and will increase to $45.00 the week of the festival, and you can get a $5.00 off coupon at Circle K stores.

For some reason the link to Red Bull’s site is broken, but we’ll update this post with more details soon and let you know where you can watch footage of the comp. on your home computer screen.  Should be a fun one!
