The first two SFWA member profiles detailed three riders who have (or are on their way to) established themselves to some degree within the wake community. This month’s profile is dedicated to the rest of us, the ones who are just starting out and everyday is our championship. When the SFWA was just a thought, it was people like this month’s member profile participant that we had in mind. The amatuer rider looking for a community of riders within South Florida in which they could grow in the sport and met friends along the way. While it is awesome to have super riders that are killing it in the sport, it is also just as nice to have members who are just starting out. So join me in welcoming the July 07 Member Profile-Jake Davis.
2007 WWA Wake Park Series$25,000 on the line in the new 4 stop WWA Wake Park Series Presented by Ten-80
The World Wakeboard Association (WWA) has teamed up with US wake park owners, operators, riders and WakeBoarding magazine in the largest collective effort to date to create the first WWA Wake Park Series for 2007. Each of the four wake parks in the US, including TSR, KC Watersports, OWC and Ski Rixen along with Ten-80 have stepped up to make a home for a contest at each of their wake sites.
Just a quick update on the association. The next several months are going to be pretty hectic for the club. By the end of this month we will be publishing our first quaterly newsletter (if anyone is interested in writing a piece for the newsletter please contact me ASAP), we are in the process of planning a September event to be held at the Key Lime House in Lantana (nothing set in stone yet but there could be some big riders on their way) and we are in full speed mode planning for our November 17th, year-end tournament (we will be seeking volunteers very soon). In addition, the membership numbers continue to grow. Currently, we have 41 memberships with a total of 78 members. We are fast approaching our goal of 100 members. So join me in welcoming to the club the following: Cassius Cade and family, Mark Roche, Fred Chidsey and family, Victor Vazquez, Donald Hyams and family (including his son Kyle who was on the cover of the May 2007 issue of Alliance Wakeboarding Magazine), Mark Carter, Dannielle Crawford of the WWA and Myles Minns and family.

As posted earlier, the SFWA held it’s first membership meeting at the SkiRixen Cable Park on June 30, 2007. Unfortunately, mother nature would not cooperate as the rain poured down. However, we weren’t denied and for those who made it out, the day finished on a positive note with food, conversation and, most importantly, riding.
