Surf Expo wasn’t the only thing going on this past weekend. WakeBoarding Magazine’s 4th annual Wake Awards took place this past Friday immediately following the first day of Surf Expo at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, FL.

The event started off with some industry recognition awards like Manufacturer of the Year and Retailer of the Year before moving on to the main 13 awards known as The Wake Awards.

Rusty Malinoski and Brian Grubb took the top spots as Best Wakeboarder and Best Wakeskater. Move of the Year was no big surprise with Chad Sharpe taking it with his sick Double Indy Toeside Back Roll. Best Women’s Rider put Amber Wing on top once again, adding another accolade to add to her impressive resume.

Raequel Hoffman became the second womens wakeboarder to stomp a 720 while riding on the Delta in California. She now joins Amber Wing as the only two female riders to land two full handle pass rotations on a wakeboard. Wing has been landing Toeside Frontside Off Axis 720’s now since late in 2006 which I’m sure has put some pressure on her competitors. Hoffman stepped up to the challenge and now joins her in landing the same trick.

“It feels so awesome to be the second girl ever to land a 720. I feel like women are doing a lot right now to progress the women’s side of the sport and I’m really glad to be a part of it,” says Hoffman.

Raequel competes on the Pro Wakeboard Tour and finished the season in the top ten. Who will be next to join these two riders or does this start the race to the 900 for the women?

Voting for WakeWorld’s Rider’s Choice Awards has begun. Voting will last throughout the month of August. Anybody can vote, which also enters you to win all sorts of stuff from CWB Wakeboards, Proline, Ten-80, and Sidewayz.

Last year, after a five year run Parks Bonifay finally lost his spot as top male wakeboarder by Danny Harf. Amber Wing made her debut on the list of top female wakeboarders at #4, but could be moving on up after gaining fame as the first female to do a 720. Dallas Friday has dominated the female wakeboarders with the top spot since 2001 (the year of the inaugural Riders Choice Awards). Liquid Force cleaned up by taking best wakeboard, bindings, wakesurf board, vest and handle/rope last year and will be looking to pull a repeat this year.
