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.

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.
