The 2009 SFWA Pros and Joes Wake event is complete and we are proud to say it was huge success. The weather was perfect as the temperature hovered around 85 degrees all day with a slight breeze and clear skies. The crowd was amped with an estimate of almost 1,000 spectators filtering through the event throughout the course of the day. The vendors and sponsors put on an excellent show as they displayed the latest and greatest products. Finally, and probably most important, the riding from both the pros and the Joes was unbelievable. This is the fourth event hosted by the SFWA and with each event the bar is raised and the level of riding showcased is both impressive and a testament to the level of talent in South Florida.
Hope to see you there! Good way to start the weekend.

For decades, surfing has been the premier water-based extreme sport. Infinitely linked to the coastal waves of Hawaii and Southern California, surfing has grown into a huge money-making sport with sponsored contests, magazines and even video games.
2008 Press 142 with Cab Package:
New look, super versatile boot and board combo! Great slider, Cable Wake, fun all-around board! Mike Ennen helped with not only the flex and feel of this series, but the look, as well. For the first time in LF History they utilized a team rider’s artistic talents to create the graphic.
The Final Results . . . ManyThanks . . . and more:
The SFWA 2008 Wake-n-Skate Rail Jam is in the books and by all accounts was a huge success. The weather did not cooperate but we were able to work around it and get in two great days of rail riding. The event hosted 45 of the areas finest wakeboarders and wakeskaters and they did not disappoint the crowd in attendance at the event.
