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. Fellow Canadian rider Aaron Rathy of Nanaimo, B.C. finished the contest in second-place.

(Merced, CA) - Corvette has remained an icon after 54 years. Uniquely American, it’s a symbol of independence, exuberance and driving pleasure. The Corvette Limited Edition Sport-V symbolizes all of these things and bares more than a resemblance to its legendary landlocked brother. It displays strikingly precise styling cues. From the signature Corvette “Cove” tooled into the hull to the authentic Corvette emblems to the power wing windshield to the rear taillight design used for through-hull ventilation down to the authentic Corvette rims on the custom Corvette trailer.

Tons of wakeboard products are up for auction for the WakeWorld California Wildfire Relief Auction. All of the proceeds from the auctions go to the American Red Cross Relief fund. This is a good chance to help out some of the people who have been displaced and affected by the California wildfires. It’s also a chance to grab some one-of-a-kind autographed gear.

[Editor's Note: Dave Williams has scrapped their annual Toys For Tots auctions to maximize this relief effort.]

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?
