The first event of the Arizona Wakeboard Association’s Rider Series will be held on April 26^th at Lake Pleasants Two Cow Cove.  Staying true to form, this event is not one to miss.  This event will be pulled by the newest wakeboard boat on the market the Wakecraft ZR6. 

 

Haven’t heard of Wakecraft, let alone the ZR6; this is your opportunity to check the boat out in person and take a pull. According to the Wakecraft website, “The Wakecraft ZR6 was designed to fulfill a niche within the V-Drive, wakeboard market place which is a fast, fun to drive, performance orientated boat, while keeping all of the important characteristics one would expect from a leading wakeboard boat manufacturer.” So, you are probably wondering what this means to you, the rider.  Well the ZR6 boasts 1200 pounds of factory ballast.  Its 20.6' foot length and 98" beam provides enough room for you and 11 of your closest friends.  Want to know more?  Check out the virtual test drive section of the Wakecraft website which was done by Wakeboarding Magazine. 

 

Wakecraft has gone the extra distance for their premier grassroots event.  They will be providing every rider a Wakecraft t-shirt and will have some goodies to throw into the crowd.  The AWA will be reaching into its vault of prizes for the top 3 finishers in each division.  We have great product from all of our sponsors, so blow off the opportunity to go home with the goods.  Red Bull also guarantees that AWA riders will be properly fueled for their run.  After all, what better sport to have wings than wakeboarding.
