Red Bull Wake Lab/Tempe Music Festival
Wednesday, April 1st, 2009
For anyone that has been out to Tempe Town Lake this last week, they may have noticed something new. If you peer across to the north side of the lake, you can catch a glimpse of what will become the center piece of the largest wakeboard event to hit Arizona. In addition to the show-stopping line up that Tempe Music Festival has put together, Red Bull has invited the top wakeboarders from across the United States to attend Wake Lab. With the success of last years event in Orlando, Red Bull is ready to see what Arizona has to offer. The spectator-friendly lake has been the location of many large events over the years, and it will prove to be a prime location to expose the rapid growing sport to a new croud. This event is putting Arizona’s wakeboard scene on the map and should open up the door for many who may be new to the sport.
