It was 112 degrees Fahrenheit in Phoenix,
hot even by Arizona standards, on Saturday June 3rd. That didn’t
keep 54 faithful Arizona Wakeboard Association riders from heading to the
oasis in the desert. Two Cow Cove was, once again, the coolest place to be
and to see the hottest wakeboarding action in the state. Now that Mother
Nature has opened the proverbial oven door, the competition on the water is
heating up too. With three events down and three events to go, the battle
for the State Title is starting to get good. Less than 20 points separate
the first and second place riders in the standings for the intermediate,
outlaw, wakeskate and women’s divisions. With the State Titles up for
grabs, the last three events are sure to be incredible. Congratulations to
the top three finishers

Century
Marine and Hyperlite teamed up to provide AWA rippers with another great
event. Century Marine provided a sacked out Air Nautique 210 to launch
riders as well as $80 gift certificates to 1st place finishers.
Greg Dick, newly appointed VP of Marketing for Hyperlite, made the journey
with his custom painted Nautique to AZ to help out at this spectacular
event. Not only did Greg provide Hyperlite boardbags, backpacks, towels, or
CD holders to the 2nd and 3rd place finishers, but he
also supplemented the Outlaw division prize money. What more could you ask
for in a sponsorship team?
