From all of us at Wakeside, we’d like to wish you a happy holiday season! It’s been an exciting year, and we look forward to serving you in the future with great service, selection, and savings. While continuing to offer all the latest, freshest gear, we are also expanding our offering of discounted products. By doing so, we hope to share our passion and make wakeboarding even more accessible.

We’ve also loaded our clothing category with more new styles than ever before, and with hundreds of tees under ten bucks, you’ll have a hard time finding an excuse to not freshen that pile on your floor.

As always, you can count on Wakeside to spread the love with rich contests and promotions, making your experience just a little sweeter.

So check in often to see what we’re up to, and make sure you cherish your family and friends this holiday season.

“For 2010, the new season at Liquid Force brings you new shapes, new graphic directions and treatments, and completely new materials and manufacturing methods. We offer more choices in delivering the magic stick for whatever riding conditions you encounter, or wish to challenge in your present and future riding journeys.

We are incredibly fortunate to work with the most diverse, imaginative, and creative riders in the sport. From wakeskaters who school wakeboarders at BroStock, to rail riders bringing their magic to the cable water-skate parks, to our wakeboarders who push themselves to continually redefine the sport — their collective feedback makes Liquid Force product development an on-going quest to give these guys the goods. Their need for the “right” board has pushed us to create several styles of boards to maximize fun, performance, and durability for each of the particular riding environments and styles.” Read more…

To celebrate the arrival of the 2010 Slingshot line, we have teamed up with them to give one lucky winner a 2010 Slingshot Wakeboard of their choice! To enter, simply fill in your info below and pick the board that you would most like to win.

The winner will be selected on October 15th. See contest rules.

If you’re anything like us, you probably have beats blasting more often than not. Music is capable of turning any daily activity into an experience. That is if you have the right gear.

With the latest tech and style from Skullcandy Headphones and Nixon Headphones, you can pound your eardrums while still looking good. And although we wouldn’t recommend rocking them while you ride, headphones are a great way to get pumped before a session, especially if the rest of the boat insists on listening to the latest from Soft Rock FM. Check out:

Directional R3 Technology, Krypto Cables, The Mod Pour. These terms may not mean much to you now, but very soon, when the new 2010 Ronix line is released, they will change the way you ride. With 20 brand new shapes and tons of new tech, the 2010 line is the biggest progression to date. It also helped them win the WSIA Manufacturer and Innovation of the year. But since words can only express so much, check out this video to see the new gear in action.

We just dropped the prices on hundreds of ‘09 wakeboarding items. For you that means the newest gear at prices up to 40% off. And as always, if you find the same gear cheaper somewhere else, let us know and we’ll match the price. Plus you’ll still get all the Wakeside Rewards including free shipping over $50, no sales tax, and a 30 day Performance Guarantee. But inventory is getting spotty, so don’t hesitate or you just might miss out.

This saturday, August 29th, Nike 6.0 is releasing their new wakeskate film Aquafrolics. It will be available in its entirety to watch and download at: nike6.com/aquafrolics. That’s right kids, a full length film for free.

“Sweat, stamped passports, and stacked sessions—such were the makings of Nike 6.0’s groundbreaking first wakeskate team movie. Aquafrolics captures the travels, travails, and progression-fueled fun had by the talented 6.0 teamriders over the past year. The crew—Nick Taylor, Ben Horan, Matt Manzari, and Andrew Pastura—joined forces with innovative filmer Matt Staker to push the envelope on both riding and filming techniques. From winching rivers in the Philippines, to countless hours behind the Sea-Doo, and never-before landed tricks at Ben’s homemade backyard pond, not to mention all the impromptu roadtrips and camera-angle experimentation—Aquafrolics is packed with insane action and sheer love of the sport.”

Scott Byerly is a legendary icon in wakeboarding, shaping much of what it is today. His influence can be seen throughout the culture and trends of the sport, from his tattoos to his skate inspired riding style.

In 2006, with the support of Hyperlite, Scott Byerly launched a new brand aptly named Byerly Wakeboards. Scott Bouchard, who has worked with Byerly for over thirteen years shaping boards, is also in the mix. Byerly’s legacy to wakeboarding lies in his hand picked team; a crew of young and talented riders who are more like a family than a group of pros.

Byerly and Butch are continuing to push the limits with innovative technology that will undoubtedly shape the future of wakeboarding and wakeskating. The Byerly Monarch Wakeboard combines a super light Atomic core with molded contours to create a rigid yet snappy ride for consistent pop. Byerly Legacy Wakeskates are perfectly shaped to keep the rider locked in when going wake to wake but have enough concave to pop and push a 3 shuv around.

Each month through the summer we are featuring a pro rider that has become a legacy in the wake culture. Aaron Reed is an icon of mad style both on and off the water. When we had him in the studio for this shoot, it took him about thirty seconds to start throwing Vogue-esque poses. But our favorite was this shot because, well, everyone should be this happy.

And you would be too if you rode the Liquid Force Impulse Wakeskate every day, with its 3 stage rocker and variable rail to give you a snappy yet forgiving ride. Plus the asymmetrical shape and concave top deck offers all the control you need, whether you are learning your first butterslide or perfecting your double kickflip.

So improve that smile today with a Liquid Force Impulse Wakeskate. Street style sold separately.

It’s that time of year when the streetwear brands shower us with their latest styles. And there’s plenty of plaid, black denim, and neon to go around. You can never go wrong with Tees for Ten Bucks, so we loaded it up by the hundreds. The Men’s Boardshorts category has everything from understated to, well, Neff. And because those earbuds that came with your phone make the base lines sound like an 8-track, check out the latest from Nixon Headphones, and Skullcandy Headphones. We noticed:

Nike 6.0 continues to kill it with new kicks and colorways guaranteed to impress and outrage. We especially like the Nike 6.0 Air Zoom Cush Wake Shoes. Check out:
