WAKEBOARDING Fall 2015의 목차

WE’RE YOUR GUY This is the last issue of 2015 for us, and that means we have one last crack at inspiring you to go out and ride your wakeboards. That’s our job, right? We’re here as your personal muse for all things wakeboarding. Yes, we’re inspirational, but we’re also informational. (I might have just made that up.) I was recently remodeling my house, and when there was any type of info I needed to know, I had a guy for that. Well, that’s kind of our business too. Need tips for your riding? An insightful take on a new board or boat? Want inside info about your favorite riders? We’re your guy for that. We have so much fun providing you with the info you need to become a…

There’s no denying that this young ginger from South Florida has a knack for pretty much any board he can ride, but although Noah Flegel might not have won any major events this season, he’s had a pretty insane year. He’s made it to the finals of every PWT stop and put the pressure on all the top guys in every round. He’s honing in on becoming a major force in the contest setting, and if this image says anything, he’s enjoying a nightcap from this season by making his tricks look good when he free-rides as well.…

The location is miles away from society, on a desolate but beautiful stretch of a barrier island that is part of a 10,000-island chain. Brian Grubb went on a scout mission by PWC and reported back that there was plenty of concrete debris in the water and the tide was kind of scary, but with the right conditions, we could pull off something really unique. Off the southern Gulf Coast of Florida, about 8 feet deep in the water, lie the ruins of one man’s personal Xanadu. The apocalyptic, Star Wars-looking structures off Cape Romano are a confusing sight to behold. The “Dome Homes,” as they are known, have been described as many things, including something from an extraterrestrial movie set or an evil villain’s hide-out. In reality the Domes…

NEW BOATS FOR 2016: AXIS A20 The Axis A20 is completely redesigned for 2016 with some tweaks worthy of this little boat’s big reputation. The biggest change by far is the boat’s depth. The whole deck of the boat is now sunk into the hull to keep out chine spray, increase storage and make seating a lot more comfortable. Another benefit to the increased depth is more ballast potential and an even bigger bow. Inside, the dash is completely redesigned to improve aesthetics and do away with some superfluous features. The overall Axis driving experience is just as simple and easy as it’s always been, with analog switches and gauges and a super-easy speed control, but the whole package looks much better now. The A20’s interior upholds the Axis mantra…

Chalk another one off for Rodrigo Donoso! This guy is on fire lately when it comes to shooting cover images. Rod and Kaesen Suyderhoud have been connecting to make stellar images for a while now, mostly because they live in such close proximity to each other and both have similar visions for how they want wakeboarding to be portrayed. Kaesen had a little under 30 feet of run-up space before he landed this front board on the closeout of death. A big congrats to Kaesen and another congratulations to Rod for stacking his third cover of the year.

SOCIALLY SPEAKING | FACEBOOK OLD GUY CONTEST We knew there were plenty of old dudes out there still tearing it up, so we decided to reach out to our Facebook fans and see what surfaced. If you think you’re too old to do anything but wakesurf, then take a look at some of these submissions and reconsider. These old dudes rip! Ryan Shimabukuro My friend Jeff Thompson, 57, with a nice HS tail. Mike Brookhyser Still got some game at 45. Todd Coons 51 years old, two hip replacements, 11th place at WWA Nationals 2015. Brad Smith My boy Saddam cutting it up! (Winner) John Anderson I’ll be 60 in two months. It seemed appropriate to post one with the beard and long hair. Wow, John! You’re the spitting image…

A big congratulations to Lissa DeLorenzo, our new 2015 Miss Wakeboarding, presented by Supra Boats! Lissa is no stranger to wakeboarding. Now living in Miami, she has spent her summer weekends wakeboarding, wakesurfing and wakeskating with friends out on the lake. She’s even spent time on the trampoline, practicing her tricks in preparation for her next set on the water. Looks like the Miss Wakeboarding title is in good hands. To keep up with Lissa’s happenings, follow her on Instagram at @lissade.…

Are you sitting down? It’s so new you can smell it. All the fresh 2016 gear you’ve been waiting for is finally right at your fingertips. So clear your schedule, take a seat and soak it all in — because who knows? Your new favorite board of all time could be lurking among these pages. HYPERLITE RELAPSE 136 cm, 141 cm There’s no denying it: JD Webb has been on another level lately. He’s focused, driven, having fun and frankly not worrying what anyone else thinks about it. Likewise, his all-new pro model for 2015, the Relapse, is built to reflect this level of performance and enjoyment on the water. The Relapse features a blended threestage rocker, a uniquely blended wood and composite construction, four molded-in fins with two optional…

We’ve never really seen anyone poke the way Danny is in this photo. He told us that this was the first set where he’s ever tried rolling his foot the other way and poking straight out the front like this, and it’s pretty refreshing seeing something done a little differently. While wakeboarders have adjusted their binders to figure out how to properly tuck knee, we’re guessing they’re going to have a hell of a time trying to unlock the code for this one.…

The Inaugural Supra Boats Pro Wakeboard Tour Concludes! Before this year, there were a lot of questions about what the landscape of the Supra Boats Pro Wakeboard Tour would look like. After all, the Pro Wakeboard Tour has remained relatively the same for many years, so how did Supra and the PWT plan to change things up in order to keep the sport and the tour moving in a good direction? Fresh blood and a new way of thinking led to some pretty cool innovations at this year’s PWT. One of the biggest things we saw was the stepping up of the VIP experiences for the fans who want a backstage pass. Demo rides in the boat, catered food and a whole lot more were given out to a select…
