Conspiracy? Nope, not when Phillip Soven and Dallas Friday ride for you. While Soven’s victory might not be that exciting (the dude is now filling up closet #3 with 1st place trophies), Dallas’ victory is. It is safe to say that the pro women’s landscape has changed quite a bit since she exited the sport to recover from a near fatal injury. It is great to see her on top, and I hope the new crop of girls can push each other and the female perspective of wakeboarding that much further.

The IWLA (named after Izaak Walton) have just helped push through the Clean Boating Act of 2008. The good news is that the act will help cleanup our waterways by forcing such codes such as having to clean you boat entirely (yes the bottom) before you are able to transfer from one body of water to the next. This helps prevent the spread of “invasive species” that might be coming along for the ride. The better news is that recreational boaters like you and me are exempt from these new regulations. The major infiltrator seems to be boats traveling internationally for shipping purposes. Obviously this doesn’t include your recreational weekend warrior boater. It is nice to see that they are doing something to keep the waterways clean, and that they aren’t just throwing a “blanket” rule over everyone, but instead pin-pointing the probelm and attacking it from there.

What started out as home of The Wakeboard Camp has evolved into home of the best riders in the world including the aforementioned, Parks, Shane, Rusty, Henshaw, Trevor Hanson, and a whole host of others. These pictures show a unique view at what can be seen everyday of the week on the Clermont Chain.
