“The Book” mobile is brought to you by Clermont Media Group, the wakeboarding industry’s leading producer of instructional media. “The Book” mobile was created to help you learn where you need it most, in the boat. We split the original Wakeboard DVD series up into smaller sections so that you can quickly reference skills right before you ride. This enhances the learning process by greatly diminishing the time in between when you see the trick and when you try it. Read more…

Raequel Hoffman is now the 2nd woman in the World (Amber Wing from Australia was the first) to land a 720 and have it captured on video. The WakeboardNorthwest staff and other Northwest Riders have had the privilege of getting to know the Hoffman sisters and watching them ride first hand. Raequel and her sister Shawna are truly pushing the women’s side of Wakeboarding. Both competed on the Pro-Tour this year, had video sections in the Chick Flick, and continue to dominate local contests around the region. Read more…

The Ballast Puppy is designed to pump water into Wakeboard Ballast hard Tanks or Wakeboard Ballast bags. When reversed the Ballast Puppy will also pump water out of them. It has a flow rate of 660 gallons per hour, so it can fill most ballast tanks in about five minutes. It is equipped with a Run-Dry Protection Device (patent pending) to automatically shut-off the pump and protect the impeller from run-dry damage should the pump be mistakenly left on after the Ballast Tank is empty. This pump will make integrating your ballast system easy and simple. Feel free to give us a call with any questions.

The man we know as Trevor has come up with yet another banger. The 2008 CWB Marius boosts bigger with a huge continuous rocker and the widest board width in the CWB line. The landings are butter soft because of a double concave hull on the center spine that breaks the water before the rider impacts. The new fin design allows for a looser ride than lasts years board with smaller molded in fins and a removable center fin. The board behaves like it should. The pop is great but the edge takes some getting used to. Overall the Marius is everything we wanted and more. Give it a try.

CWB’s Description:

Width is the best thing to hit wakeboarding if done right. Trevor did it right. Trevor rides with a style that makes his riding look effortless. Coasting into the wake and boosting a Method back five eight feet skyward. The question is how can he get so high with such little edge? Width my friend. Lay your eyes on the Marius and the first thing you will see is that it is the widest board ever. This extra width means mucho surface area which translates into lift, soft landings and great room for stickers. Wide boards are historically harder to edge which is why most on the market are short wide boards The brilliant minds at CWB developed V-Tech to enable the first fully functioning wide, long board on the market. This deep V means rocker at the corner is nearly 3″, but in the middle it is almost an inch lower. The V-Tech makes the long wide board switch edges incredibly fast, turning like a long narrow board. Gone are the days of sacrificing pop when edging hard. With V-Tech and the massive real estate packed into the Marius, bring on the pop!

Portland, OR - Rusty Malinoski, 23, and Phillip Soven, 18, have battled on the water all season long for the 2007 MasterCraft Pro Wakeboard Tour title. Today, both riders went head-to-head in the season-ending match that determined who would earn a year’s worth of bragging rights and the largest cash payout in tour history, the $10,000 Indmar Performance Award.

The Rip It Apparatus Award went to Brett Eisenhauer for his healside backside off-axis 720.

The Pro Women’s Division also hit the water today for their final round of competition.
