Over the past few weeks we’ve been releasing content covering Surf Expo 2007. This was the very 1st event that DailyWake has ever covered, and we were pretty happy with the results. In this final entry, we’ll let you know everything we covered and give you links to it as well. Think of this wrap-up story as a table of contents or index of all the content we covered during Surf Expo 2007.

With all the recent momentum Tony Finn and Liquid Force decide to launch their own clothing brand for 2008. It sounds like they are licensing it out to a company with more than 20 years of experience who has even handled some big brands like Rusty. We took a second to find out the scoop from brand manager Allison Millenacker.

The WakeWorld Rider’s Choice awards have grown each year in prestige. Now in it’s seventh year, the Rider’s Choice awards have definitely found it’s place among the top achievements in wake.

While the top spots in Top Woman Wakeboarder and Top Wakeskater remain practically unchanged from the previous year (with Dallas Friday and Brian Grubb on top), some of the other awards saw quite a few changes. Rusty Malinoski jumped 4 spots to become the Top Male Wakeboarder. This achievement also granted him the award for Most Improved Wakeboarder. Also, in their rookie year, Ronix has made a huge impact by knocking Liquid Force off of the top spot of both Wakeboard of the Year and Binding of the Year.

In the August 2007 issue of Wired Magazine there is a review of 4 waterproof cases for your iPod. Most people have already quenched their music listening thirst on the water with the Liquid Tunes MP3 player [externallink] from Liquid Force. For those of you Apple fanatics that MUST USE iPOD, this review will be a good starting point on how to get your beats on the water.

The highest marks in the test were from H20 Audio for Nano 2nd Gen [$80 externallink] and the OtterBox for iPod Nano [$40 externallink]. It wasn’t all about the iPod Nanos though, they also had some soft “bag-style” cases that will accommodate any iPod (or other MP3 player).

Liquid Force has been churning out their electronic newsletter “The Truth” for some time now. I noticed Wakeworld [externallink] is reporting the 50th edition of The Truth, yet the Liquid Force website claims it is only the 28th edition of their newsletter. After doing a little research, I found that apparently Liquid Force added The Truth to their website in 2006 after already publishing 22 newsletters. So #1 [externallink] on the LF site equals #23 [externallink] on the WakeWorld site and so on.

In The Truth - Number 28 (which happens to really be #50) Liquid Force talks about recent competitions including Wakestock, the Portland Pro Tour stop, and BROstock.

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.
