On April 7-10 Texas Ski Ranch will be hosting the Chorpus Christi Challenge as part of the Texas International Boat Show. This unique wakeboard event will showcase four of the top wakeboarders in the world as they compete for the title at the third annual event. Unlike most events TSR hosts, the Corpus Christi Pro will not be pulled by a MasterCraft X-Star or a Rixen Cable system. Because the event is held in the Corpus Christi Marina we will be using Sea Doo watercraft to pull the wakeboarders over ramps made specifically for this event. The setting proved to be challenging but also very rewarding due to the close proximity to the crowd that can line up on all sides of the course.

In the previous two events Tom Fooshee and Gabe Lucas finished first and second respectively. This year TSR will add a little twist to the event that will showcase just four riders broken into two teams. Cable Riders vs. Boat Riders behind a PWC. While all four of these riders kill it behind all pulling devices, we will pit Tom Fooshee and Cody Johnson vs. Gabe Lucas and Joey Bradley. By leveling the playing field, we are expecting a really fun event that pits these good friends against each other. The 2011 event will be sanctioned by the World Wakeboard Association (WWA)

The Texas International Boat Show, presented by American Bank, will take place from April 7^th-10th, 2011, at the Corpus Christi Downtown Marina. Buyers and sellers from across Texas, the USA and Mexico, plus exhibitors from around the world, will come together to create a unique marketplace offering a relaxed and leisurely environment in which to meet during this four-day event. Hundreds of boats, from 10’ to 100’, will be on display, both in the water and on-shore, many ready to demo! Add to this live music from The Bahamas, fun fashion shows and entertainment for the whole family, and you have an unforgettable experience for both buyers and sellers enjoying four days of fun in the sun.

From Lake Alfred, FL

The 2010 WWA Wake Park World Series finished its five stop Wakeboard contest series last weekend. Each of the five hosting countries, which included: Germany, Netherlands, USA, Turkey, and Philippines, were fortunate to experience the best Wake Park riders in the world.

Dominik Guehrs of Germany and Lior Sofer of Israel placed second and third, respectively; however, it was USA native Tom Fooshee that claimed his third consecutive WWA Wake Park World Series Title. Nick Davies of the United Kingdom, and Freddie Von Osten of Germany round out the top five.

An excited Fooshee states: “The 2010 WWA Wake Park World Series was my favorite Wake Park Series yet. It covered a larger span of the globe than any other Wake Park World Series, and we got to ride at the best parks in the World.”

Fooshee accomplished standing on the podium at all five stops. And was able to complete the series with not one, not two, but three 1st place finishes, one second, and one third.

“Winning my third straight title has been an incredible experience. I’ve been able to travel and compete, and the WWA has been there for us (the riders) since the beginning.” says Fooshee

The question now is can Fooshee continue his dominance in 2011 and remain the only WWA Wake Park World Series Overall Champion? Only time can tell.

Below are the official rankings of the complete 2010 WWA Wake Park World Series.
