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.”

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.

With the largest selection of wakeboarding gear around, Wakeside really is your complete source for Wakeboards, Wakeboard Bindings, Wakeskates, Wake Surfboards, and everything else you need to get out and ride. And not only do we have a vast selection, but most of the goods are highly discounted, up to 55% off. That means you get the goods, and keep the cash!

And in case you somehow missed the offer plastered all over the site, we are giving away a free Wakeside board bag with every wakeboard purchase! But we can only give them away while supplies last, so don’t count on it for long.

We (the people at Wakeside.com) are waiting for the waters to finally cool off this season so we can get some good Wakeskating in. Presenting the Hyperlite Vinyl, BT killed the graphic this year. Buy the Hyperlite Vinyl Wakeskate. Read more…

Everyone,

We have just received a large shipment of the Ronix Zariel Bi-Level Wakeskates for 2008. This skate builds consistency with an updated Bi-Level construction and a weight that would make Nick Taylor cringe. Reed, the double kick flicking wakeskate engineer that he is, believes that skates need to be heavier for solid pop and a more controlled feel in the air. Funny since Reed and most of the other pro wakeskaters are as skinny as the metal rods in BT’s Hyperlite Vinyl Wakeskate. Isn’t it ironic? Anyway go to your computer and buy your Ronix Zariel Wakeskate before it is gone. Read more…
