The Arizona Wakeboard Association’s 2006 Rider’s Series kicks off on April 1st.  This season proves to be one of the best series to date with six competitive wakeboarding events, one wakesurf contest, and several learn to wakeboard clinics.  A slew of new sponsors have been added to our already incredibly loyal, long time sponsors, which ensures that this season’s prize selection will be nothing short of spectacular.   The AWA has also reinstated its Masters divisions for those individuals over the age of 35 years who would like to compete without riding against the kids.  This addition gives riders eight divisions to chose from; Groms, Women, Masters, Novice, Intermediate, Advanced, Outlaw, & Wakeskate.  Registration is available in advance online at www.theawa.com, as well as on site from 7:00 AM until 9:00 AM the morning of the event.
