Orlando, Fla. — Fans lined the shores of the Orlando Watersports Complex today to catch the final rounds of action at the 2011 Nautique Wake Games, presented by Rockstar Energy Drink. As the 10 remaining divisions wrapped up their competition on the water, Team Malinoski emerged as the winner of this year’s team challenge with 801 points.

Captained by pro rider Rusty Malinoski, the 10-person team claimed this year’s cash prize after finishing with multiple top-three finishes in various divisions, including wins by Kat Laird in the Veteran Women’s division and also by newly signed Rockstar Energy Drink team rider Daniel Powers in the Jr. Pro Men’s division. The team consisted of Malinoski, Powers, Laird, Shaun Murray, Scott Stewart, Danny Hampson, Megan Ethell, Will Green, Craig Buss and Dustin Abel.

Malinoski also came close to winning the Pro Men’s division today, too, but ultimately fell short to teenage Australian phenom Harley Clifford, who took home his second consecutive Pro Men’s division title. Malinoski and Bob Soven rounded out the top three, respectively.

Clifford also won the $1,000 prize in the Rockstar Energy Drink Double Up Contest, after landing a Melon Poke Heelside Frontside 900.

Newly signed Rockstar Energy Drink team rider and fellow Australian wakeboarder Amber Wing took first place in the Pro Women’s division, upsetting top-seeded Nicola Butler, who finished in third place. Young gun Meagan Ethell rounded out the top three podium spots, with her second-place finish.

In the Pro Wakeskate division, defending Wake Games shredder and newly signed Rockstar Energy Drink team rider Reed Hansen successfully defended his title today, with Danny Hampson and Brian Grubb rounded out the top three, respectively.

Also making waves out on the water today was local wakeboarder Jason Soven, who won the Boys division today, as well as the PCM Amateur Best Trick Award, after landing a massive Dum Dum. Jason is the younger brother of pro riders Phillip and Bob Soven.

From Lake Alfred, FL (March 23, 2011)–Valle de Bravo, Mexico has just witnessed the best wakeboarding in the world from riders like Harley Clifford (AU), Rusty Malinoski (CA), and Adam Errington (US). Club Izar was the hosting venue for the 1st stop of the WWA Wakeboard World Series Presented by Revista Ragga. And the riders enjoyed their stay at the club; with golf, mountain biking, billiards, and wakeboarding, where else would these top caliber athletes want to be?

After a practice round on Friday, Saturday’s Quarter Final rounds went down as a seeding round to determine the running order for Sunday’s Semi Final heats. Each rider was boosting off of the Mastercraft Parks Edition X-Star wake, including 14 year old Paulie Koch (US). Semi finals, finals, and a double-up contest were to take place on Sunday, and with Jimmy Trask at the helm, each rider knew they would have a quality pull through the course. Some impressive wakeboarding from the local Mexican riders caught the eyes of several pro riders with big moves like Whirly Birds and Raleys.

After the amateur division was finished, it was the pro division’s turn to take advantage of the mild weather, and a Parks Edition X-Star. Even-though the conditions were challenging for the riders, some phenomenal runs were put together, and making it through to finals were Harley Clifford, Rusty Malinoski, Adam Errington, Trevor Hansen, Nick Jones, and Austin Hair. In the end it was Australian rider Harley Clifford that edged out Canadian rider Rusty Malinoski, and USA rider Adam Errington for the victory. Trevor Hansen (US) dominated the double-up contest with a huge and smooth Heelside Backroll to Blind.

Official rankings are out for the 2011 WWA Wakeboard World Series with Harley Clifford in the lead. Click Here for 2011 WWA Wakeboard World Series Rankings.
