Orlando, Fla. – In the realm of professional wakeboarding, it may only be the fourth time in history the King of Wake series has crowned a winner for the world’s most elite pro wakeboarding circuit, but for the first time the king is sharing the throne with a female counterpart, the Queen of Wake.

Since its inception in 2005, the King of Wake series has made waves on the water, establishing itself as the most prestigious pro wakeboarding circuit in the world, bringing together the sport’s top events into one ultimate season-long points chase. The King of Wake has proven to be so influential within the sport that in just three years after its inauguration, the mirrored female version, the Queen of Wake series, was created.

ORLANDO, FLORIDA (September 13, 2008) – Following up Red Bulls impressive, and well funded, Wake Lab event on Lake Eola Saturday night in Orlando would be a tall order for anyone, but 19 year old pro wakeboarder Kyle Alberts and the crew from Step Up Productions took on the challenge and made history with a 50 foot ramp-to-ramp wakeboard jump over a 40 foot bus using portable pools and a high-speed gas-powered winch. The stunt took place right after midnight at the Wall Street Plaza complex in downtown Orlando. A jump of this caliber involving a high-speed winch is believed to be the first of its kind, and the distance Alberts cleared is record-breaking.

“It feels awesome,” said Alberts. “I’m so stoked that I had this opportunity and that everything came together so well.”

After WakeOrigin enlightened us about the Malibu Boats Website errors, we assumed (just as they did) that the issues could be due to the switchover to their new 2009 website.  WakeOrigin says it is a complete overhaul of a website completely new from the foundation up, instead of just a tweak here and there.

Well, we went to the site today, and voila, what do you know…  The new site is up and running.  Click the image below to check it out, or just click here to go the new Malibu Website…

Oklahoma City, Okla. — Fans packed the shorelines of the Oklahoma River in Oklahoma City today to witness the final rounds of the 2008 Rockstar Energy Drink WWA Wakeboard World Championships, presented by Supra.

As expected, the defending world champ Phillip Soven, 19, of Longwood, Fla. reached the Pro Men’s division finals today and as the top-seeded rider. But the pressure of retaining his title got the best of Soven, as the Florida native posted a score of 82.00, landing him in third-place.
Taking the top spot in the six-man final and claiming the 2008 world title was Rusty Malinoski, 24, of Humboldt, Sask., who became the first Canadian rider to win the world title since Jeremy Kovak claimed it in 1997.
