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.
