Were You at Malibu Mayhem?

If not you really missed out!  The weather was perfect, the water was perfect, and best of all the wake was perfect behind the Malibu Wakesetter VLX and the Wakesetter 23 LSV.  Thank You Paradise Watersports and Hyperlite because of you the day was perfect! To prove this I asked a few riders what there opinion was and the response was. . . .

“The wake was really nice.  It was solid, not washed out, even when you turned it kept its speed consistent!”  Spoken by our top rider in the women’s division, Brittney Schroeder

Blaine Evans, winner of the Outlaw Division, said, “Boat was nice, big wake, firm, hard, and clean!”

The riders not only got an awesome wake, they also got a free T-shirt from Paradise Watersports.  That wasn’t the only thing free, Red Bull came through again and provided everyone with free drinks.  Also we would like to thank the Sanders for providing hamburgers and hotdogs for riders and spectators!  All the proceeds from the food will go to help bring down the cost for the end of the year banquet!   

Last but not least we would like to congratulate all of our winners who walked away with some cool prizes.  First place received an Accurate handle, second place received a Hyperlite beach towel, and third place sported a Hyperlite T-shirt and a No Fear wallet!!  First, second and third place winners who sported a Hyperlite board were doubly rewarded thanks to the Hyperlite Podium Payback Program.  These lucky individuals get between $25 - $70 worth of Hyperbucks on top of the already awesome prizes they took home.  Thanks sponsors, we always appreciate your generosity!

Thanks again for all our sponsors, and volunteers we couldn’t make this happen without you! Also an extra special thanks for Brett Morari, Ramie Sander and Austin Uecker who represented the AWA at a demo for safety days at Lake Pleasant!
