Wake Wars 2009 media release 20/10/2008

Australia’s premier wakeboard event is back for 2009 on Sunday the 11/1/2009. Wake wars will return to be the longest running wakeboarding event in Australia, 7 years young. This year Chris Higgs from Ride on events has push this event to a new level with the announcement of MasterCraft and Adelaide Outboard Marine being the new partners and the official tow boat for the event. Now with Master craft towing the event it will have the same boat as the PWT in the states with the wake made by the worlds best wakeboard boat the XSTAR. We are also hoping to putting up the biggest prize money for a one off event in Australian history, $20,000 and reducing the entry fee to $100.00. The idea of this is to bring it back to the days of Run by riders for the riders.

Wake Wars will no doubt be biggest stand alone wake boarding event attracting massive crowds of about 10000 people, including both wakeboarding followers and people new to the sport, enticed by the thrill of the sport and the enjoyment of the laidback, festival feel of this event on the waters’ edge.

This event ensures spectators see the world’s best riders at Australia’s best back drop for wakeboarding, in the heart of Glenelg at Lake Patawalonga. The venue is only 2.5km from one of the best tourist areas and city beaches in South Australia. The event shows spectators how fun the sport of wakeboarding is, and the opportunities that exist in the sport both here and overseas.

Ride on Events has put a new look on the event for 2009 with a music festival feel by investing money in getting Adelaide’s best Djs R Mac, Justice, Aj and Fresh fm broadcasting live all day. To top this off we can confirm that we have one of Australia’s top shelf acts; TERRA FIRMA performing live his world wide hit WE LIKE TO PARTY after the rider’s presentation. So bring the whole family along and have a great day and enjoy the party vibe.
