The World Wakesurfing Championships are being held this weekend in Parker. To those with freeboard challenged vessels, consider yourself warned:cool:

Looks like the event is at Bluewater but I'm sure riders will be practicing on the river beforehand and riding afterward. May want to test your bilge pumps before backing off the trailer on Saturday:D

Without seeing the boat, I know I followed one called an "EPIC" that threw a wake every bit as big as that if not bigger up river once.. The wave was so big, I never even attempted to go outside of it, and pass him.. LOL And no he wasn't towing anyone.

Malibu 247 with several thousand lbs of ballast. It's a little rediculous

I agree. See you out there! :thumbsup

Maybe the rider fell and the driver didn't notice? :hmm :D

That fucking wave (not even wake anymore) is ridiculous!!! Is that the standard competition wake? Maybe next time I'm surfing at Malibu I can have that guy drive by lol

Not even close...that wave is about as extreme as it gets. I just posted it to get all the rollbar boat haters riled up and bump up RD's hit count. Too bad it's not being driven by union rep... :D

Centurion Enzo's are used in most comps and they will no-doubt throw a big wave but probably about 1/2 the size as in the pic. That's plenty to throw pretty much any wakesurfing trick including aerials.

Will see you guys up in Havasu, rolling out Fri morning. Only staying through Sat though :grumble: Appreciate the invite! Like I really need one to show up anyway though? I'm like a herpes outbreak...showing up whenever I please without warning:D

Damn. I wish I was going just to plow in circles in front of the competitors.

A little taste of their own medicine. ;)

Interesting they would have a competition like that at Bluewater when the huge 5mph zone was put there to protect wildlife from wakes,, or am I wrong?

I think this will be a one time event, if the wakes (waves) are that big. When they have the circle boat races and ski races, there is a coast guard official, and sometimes a core of engineers official at the events.

The reason for the 5 M.P.H. area is because of some endangered fish that breeds in the shallow water of the cattails accross from the casino.

I love wake surfing And If the driver drives correctly the opposite wake will wash over before it hits shore and the interior wake rolls back into itself and break down to a wake the siZe of a normall boat

And don't hate on us wakeboarders because you have a hard time standing in your boat, being pulled behind it would just ruin your world!


I bet if half of the haters came out on the boat with us you would have a great time and be amazed on how much fun we have, and yes there are some real toolboxes with wakeboard boats but it goes for all types of boats pontoons fishing boats big power boats

I wish......No time and its not in the budget.

Tattoos got really exspensive since I got my last 12+ years ago. Something about paying a tweaker that was good in art class $150 an hour rubs me the wrong way...lol

You bringing the crew out? No kids this weekend for us so I might actually call in for a ride to the bar after dark...it will be a shit show for sure...lol;):champagne::D
